Activating the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.

The feature access key for the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key generated by the feature access key generator. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature, 893027401.

To enable the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature, the IGTTLS feature must be enabled and turned on, and the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature must be enabled. Perform Activating the IGTTLS feature to enable and turn on the IGTTLS feature. Perform Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature to enable the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE is on-site, with the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).

Once this feature is enabled, provisioning for this feature can be performed, but the feature will not work until the feature is turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command. The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature, 893027401.

:status=on – used to turn the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature on.

Once the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature has been turned on, it be can be turned off. For more information on turning the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature off, perform Turning Off the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator Feature.

The status of the features in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

When the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is turned on, loadsharing between MAP sets and MRN sets can be performed. This is done by allowing MRN sets to be provisioned in MAP sets, and MAP sets to be provisioned in MRN sets. When the search in the current set (MAP or MRN) is successful but all the destinations in that set are unavailable/prohibited, the extended search is performed in the other set (MRN or MAP) that is assigned to the current set. The extended search from the MAP set to the MRN set, or from the MRN set to the MAP set, is performed only once to prevent the endless searching of a loadsharing node.

Display the status of the controlled features by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The following is an example of the possible output.

If the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is enabled and turned on, no further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.

If the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is enabled and but not turned on, continue the procedure with 8.
If the GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature is not enabled, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
- If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows the HC-MIMSLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64 and other features, continue the procedure with 6.
- If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIMSLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, continue the procedure with 2.
Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command. This is an example of the possible output.
