Don't be afraid to try these recipes out on nidev-consumer.nordu.net, if anything breaks it needs to get fixed.
Optical Service creation
The sequence for creating a new optical patch, seen from a documentation POI:
- Consult DWDM planning drawing to find free slot in nodes
- Consult channel planning sheet to find free channel
- Onsite work: required patch cables are labeled according to "Michael/Bergroths rules"
Patch ID's are put into editgrid, reference is made only to physical objects; port names, ODF, rack ID etc.
These steps are the same as before but hopefully we can move the patch documentation to the network inventory.

Add a missing port
Make sure that the equipment you want to add a port to is the last selected thing in the drop down list, see image below.
The Add port button will open a new browser window where you should write the port name and set it's type.
The port name should be in the Alcatel-Lucent format for Optical Nodes, rXsrXslX/port#X and in Juniper format for routers aeX, ge-X/X/X, so-X/X/X, ....
Click Save and you can close the window.
To be able to select the newly created port please choose another equipment in the drop down-list and reselect the one you want to reload it's ports. (This will be fixed...)
Please give me a call or send me an e-mail if you find that you want to make a port in something that is not mentioned above. (lundberg@nordu.net)
