Managing PNNI Routes
Step 3 Enter the dsppref <routeId> command to verify the preferred route was configured correctly. Replace
<routeId> with the preferred routes identifier.
Step 4 Associate the appropriate SPVC or SPVP to the preferred route you created in Step 2.
a. If you are associating a new SPVC or SPVP with the preferred route, enter the addcon command as
follows:
addcon <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> <serviceType> <mastership> -prefrte <preferredRouteId>
[-directrte <directRoute>]
Note For PXM1E cards, the addcon command is entered at the PXM card prompt. For all other cards,
the addcon command is entered at the service module prompt.
Table 8-7 describes the parameters you can configure for the addcon command.
b. If you are associating a previously created SPVC/SPVP with the preferred route, enter the cnfcon
command, as follows:
cnfcon <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> <serviceType> <mastership> -rtngprio <routingPriority> -prefrte
<preferredRouteId> [-directrte <directRoute>]
Note For PXM1E cards, the cnfcon command is entered at the PXM card prompt. For all other cards,
the addcon command is entered at the service module prompt.
Table 8-7 describes the parameters you can configure for the cnfcon command.
-dstNEpos This integer identifies the position of the destination node in the NE sequence. For
instance, an NE of 4 indicates that the fourth NE represents the destination node.
Range: 1–20
Default: none
-ne1
through
-ne20
Including the local node, you can specify up to 20 NEs in the preferred route.
Each NE is defined by a pairing of a node and a port. The format of these paired elements
must conform to the entry for neSyntax. Separate the values in the pairing by a slash and
no spaces, but put a space between the keyword and NE, as follows:
-ne(n) node/port
The NE you specify as the destination node must be the highest numbered keyword,
otherwise the switch rejects the command.The port identifier at the destination node must
be set to 0. Note that the value 0 actually determines the last NE in the route. This 0
appears in the outputs of the display commands for preferred routes. For example, if a
route has 9 NEs, the format would be:
-ne9 node/0
