The ECC protocol uses the NE ID as the unique identifier of an NE. Hence, you need to assign a unique NE ID to each NE when planning a network. If an NE ID conflicts with another NE ID, it causes an ECC route conflict and the Web LCT cannot manage certain NEs. During the commissioning or expansion process, when you need to adjust the original network planning and change NE IDs, you can use the Web LCT to change NE IDs.
Precautions
NOTICE: Changing the NE ID may interrupt NE communication and reset the NE.
Before modifying the NE ID, delete the following configurations and reconfigure the following items after the NE ID is modified:
- All protection groups at the local NE.
- Fiber connections of the local NE and fiber connections of other NEs that involving the local NE.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose from the Function Tree.
- Click Modify NE ID, and the Modify NE ID dialog box is displayed.
- Enter the New ID and the New Extended ID. Click OK.
- In the Confirm dialog box that is displayed for two times, click OK and then click Close in the Operation Result dialog box.
