What does the asterisk (*) mean next to an SLC number?
In SGM, each link is identified by its signaling link code ID (SLC). An asterisk indicates that a link is not configured, or that a poll could not get data for the link. The placement of the asterisk, to the left or right of the SLC, indicates whether the missing link is associated with the selected linkset or with its adjacent linkset. For example, SLC (*)3 means there is no link associated with the selected linkset for SLC 3, and SLC 3(*) means there is no link associated with the adjacent linkset for SLC 3.
