2.11 define_cn
The define_cn command defines a connection network (also known as a virtual routing node or VRN). The
command provides the network qualified name of the connection network along with its Transmission Group (TG)
characteristics. Also provided is a list of the names of the local ports that can access this connection network.
This command can also be used to add new ports to an existing connection network. (Ports can be removed from
an existing connection network by issuing delete_cn.)
This command is valid only at a network node or an end node, and not at a LEN node.
