Creating Coverage Zone Files
This appendix describes the Coverage Zone file and provides several Coverage Zone file examples.
Introduction
A Coverage Zone file is an XML file used to specify a user-defined coverage zone. The Coverage Zone
file supports different tags to support different types of proximity configurations.
• Network and subnet—Specify the IP address range
• Geographical location—Specify the longitude and latitude of the data center
In addition to the coverage zone information, two optional elements are created for documentation
purposes: a revision value to specify the version of the Coverage Zone file and a customer name.
For information about importing or uploading a Coverage Zone file, see the “Coverage Zone File
Registration” section on page 6-9.
For more information about Coverage Zone files, see the “Coverage Zone File” section on page 1-21.
Coverage Zone files can be created using any ASCII text-editing tool. You can use a single coverage zone
text-format file to define all the coverage zones for your CDS network.
Table C-1 defines the Coverage Zone file elements.
