A.1 Creating an XML file for Installing SDS Network Elements
Create SDS Network Elements by using an XML configuration file. The SDS
software image (*.iso) contains two examples of XML configuration files for “NO”
(Network OAM&P) and “SO” (System OAM) networks. These files are named
SDS_NO_NE.xml and SDS_SO_NE.xml and stored
on the /usr/TKLC/sds/vlan directory. The customer is required to
create individual XML files for each of their SDS Network Elements. The format for each
of these XML files is identical.
Below is an example of the SDS_NO_NE.xml
file. The highlighted values are values that the user must update.
Note:
The Description column in this example includes comments for this document only. Do not include the Description column in the actual XML file used during installation.Table A-1 SDS XML SDS Network Element Configuration File (IPv4)
