Configuring Node-Level Parameters
Except for adding a user or creating a password, all the tasks in this section can be performed with the
CiscoView application.
Resource Partitioning
A resource partition on an MGX 8230 PXM consists of a percentage of bandwidth, a VPI/VCI range,
and the number of global logical connection numbers (GLCNs) available to a network control
application. By default, all resources on a logical interface are available to any controller on a first-come,
first-served basis. In this release of the MGX 8230 MGX feeder application, Portable AutoRoute (PAR)
is the only network control application. Future releases of the MGX 8230 may include other network
control applications such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), then the resources will have to be
carefully partitioned.
Note The MGX 8230 PXM resources do not have to be partitioned for the MGX 8230 MGX feeder
application.
