Syntax Description for External Controller
Note
Currently, the switch does not support an external controller.
cntrlrType
A number in the range 1–3 that identifies a network controller. For internal
controllers, the numbers are reserved, as follows:
1 = PAR (Portable AutoRoute)—currently not used
2 = PNNI
3 = LSC (Label Switch Controller, also known as MPLS for Multiprotocol Label
Switch Controller)—currently not used
Note
For an internal controller, the controller type (cntrlrType) must be the
same as the controller ID (cntrlrId).
lslot
The logical slot number on which the controller resides. For the PXM45, lslot is 7
regardless of which card is active.
cntrlrName
(Optional) A string to serve as a name for the controller.
cntrlrId
A number in the range 4–20 that identifies a controller. (cntrlrId 1–3 is reserved for
PAR, PNNI, and MPLS/LSC, respectively.) For external controllers, cntrlrId can
differ from cntrlrType.
x
Keyword indicating that this controller is external.
cntrlrType
A number in the range 1–3 that identifies the controller:
