    • Create a network topology model in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application to define the metadata for the topology according to your recommendations. You can use a topology model to create a record by using the design and assign function.

    Avant de commencer

    Role required: sn_ni_core.inventory_admin, sn_ni_core.telco_inventory_catalog_manager

    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    When you create a network topology model record, it creates a model in the Network Topology Models [sn_ent_network_topology_model] table.

    Procédure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Network Inventory Workspace.
    2. Select the list icon (List icon.), and then go to Inventory Models > Network Topology Models.
    3. Select New.
    4. On the Details tab, fill in the fields.

      Field Description
      Behavior Type of topology structure. Select one from the following options.
      Ring
      Each node is linked with its neighbor to form a closed network.
      Linear Bus
      All the nodes are connected one after the other in a sequential chain.
      Mesh
      The nodes are connected directly, dynamically, and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to route data.
      Star
      All nodes are connected to a central hub using a communication link.
      Tree
      The nodes are arranged in a configuration that resembles a tree’s leaves, branches, and trunk.
      Number of allowed nodes Total number of nodes that are allowed in the topology.
      Type Type of topology. Select one from the following:
      • Generic
      • Product
