How do I add additional network elements (NEs) that are not connected by way of optics (no Data Communications Channel (DCC) connectivity) to my Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) Network view?
A. You can add additional NEs with the help of multiple topology host files. In software versions earlier than 3.x: CTC can support the management of multiple rings or nodes that are not interconnected by fiber or SONET DCC (SDCC). This is accomplished by a cms.ini file that already resides where the cms.jar file is located. CMS automatically creates this file the first time it is launched. Currently, you must edit this file to support the multiple ring or node ability. Here is an example of the cms.ini (or .cmsrc) file with multiple nodes specified. #CMS Preferences File #Tue Aug 10 15:00:27 PDT 1999 Topology.Hosts=192.168.106.119\n192.168.106.109\n192.168.106.143 CMS_LAUNCHER.CmsJarPath=C\:\\TEMP\\CMS63812.jar CMS.LastHost=192.168.106.143 Note: The NE host names are separated by a \n (textual version of a new line). This file is not intended to be editable, though there currently is no way to enter multiple nodes other than by manual editing. Do not edit this file while you are logge
