Hi @Vinay2509 ,

A VLAN can be modelled using the 'Logical Connection' Class.

Refer to the below two articles for reference -

VLAN/LAG numbering -

Hi Shashank,

Thanks for response! Can you please help me with screen shots or any doc of modelling VLAN?

Also, please advise is there OOTB action to manage Capacity reservation or management on Network resource.

Example : Physical connection bandwidth has 10GB capacity, and on top of that I would like to create 20GB capacity of logical connection, in this scenario, this should not be allowed right?

How to manage this kind of capacity management especially for Network resource related.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Vinay2509 ,

Start by creating a new Change Request. TNI supports multiple OOTB Change models as shown below. Select 'Create Logical Connection'.

Right click on top and Save the CR.

Scroll down to the Change Tasks Related List and open the Task to create a logical connection.

Fill in the details on the form & submit.

Close the Change Task and the Change Request.

Review the CI that got created representing the VLAN.

Regarding Capacity management, as I mentioned on the other thread this is not supported OOTB today but is coming up soon.

In the mean while, you could make use of Business Rules to implement the necessary logic.

Hi @ShashankInamdar ,

Thanks for your quick response! helped a lot,

Can you please help me with script that should throw exception, when user trying to create logical connection of bandwidth capacity 20GB on physical port(network interface ) of capacity 10GB.  or whenever Logical bandwith is higher than Physical connection bandwidth it should throw error.

Please help to achieve this.

Thanks

Vinay
