ProcedureTo Create Unmanaged Ethernet Device Types

Steps
  1. Create a device type that extends the backhaul type on the control plane using the following command:


    devtype -c -n devtype-name devtype-description -b backhaul-devtype-ID -a unsupported
    

    Example:


    devtype -c -n CorporateIntranet "Corporate Intranet" -b 21 -a unsupported
    Aded type: CorporateIntranet, id: 25027

    To get the ID of an unmanaged device type, type devtype -l.

  2. Add Ethernet adapter and Ethernet port attributes to the newly created device type.


    devtype -s devtype-ID -T ethada+eth
    devtype -s devtype-ID -P ethernet-port+eth0+ethada
    

    Example:


    devtype devtype -s 25027 -T ethada+eth
    Added adapter: 304
    devtype -s 25027 -P ethernet-port+eth0+ethada
    Added ethernet port: 305
    Reset configuration on 0 device(s)
  3. Create an instance of the type on the control plane.


    device device-ID -c -t  devtype-name
    
  4. Create its connections to the N1 Provisioning Server fabric layer.


    device -sC chassis-switch-ID chassis-switch-port device-ID eth0
    
  5. Mark the device as FREE.


    device sF device-ID
    

    Example:


    device 1002 -c -t Corporateintranet
    Device 1002 is created.
    device -sC 50150 netp6 1002 eth0
    Added connection 50150:netp6 --> 1002:eth0
    device -sF 1002
