3.10 L2 Topology and ML VLAN for ML-Series Ethernet Cards
3.10 L2 Topology and ML VLAN for ML-Series Ethernet Cards
CTM supports L2 topology and ML VLAN operations for the ML-series Ethernet cards in ONS 15454
SONET and ONS 15454 SDH NEs. You can create an ML VLAN in an L2 topology. An L2 topology
has a collection of ML VLANs and underlying subnetwork connections to support the traffic at the
optical layer.
The following figure shows the relationship diagram for various L2 service objects.

CTM supports L2 service interfaces for the ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH R4.1 and later.
3.10.1 createMLVLAN
Synopsis
void createMLVLAN(in String protocol,in globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T l2TopologyName,
in multiLayerSubnetwork::MLVLANCreateData_T mlVlanCreateData,
out multiLayerSubnetwork::MLVLAN_T mlVlan)
raises(globaldefs::ProcessingFailureException);
Description
This interface creates a new ML VLAN for a given L2 topology. An object creation event is generated
when an ML VLAN is created successfully. CTM supports a maximum of 4095 ML VLANs for an L2
topology.
Parameters
141670
Topology contains
multiple SNCs
Topology contains
multiple MLVLANs
1..n1..n
Subnetwork
connection
MLVLANs
L2Topology
Name Type Input/ Output Description
protocol string In This VLAN runs the set protocol. If you want to
run the default protocol, pass an empty string.
Otherwise, you can set different protocols; for
example, RSTP. You must set the RSTP protocol
on the VLAN to enable RSTP on the port that
belongs to the VLAN.
l2TopologyName globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T In The L2 topology name in which this ML VLAN
is created.
mlVlanCreateData multiLayerSubnetwork::MLVLANCre
ateData_T
In The createData for the ML VLAN to create.
mlVlan MultiLayerSubnetwork::MLVLAN_T Out The ML VLAN object created by CTM.
