Qualifying NIC Data Types

If a NIC configuration scenario uses the same data type in more than one place in a resolution, you can add an identifier to the data type to clarify the source of the data type.

Qualifying a NIC Data Type from SDX Admin

To use SDX Admin to qualify a data type:

1. In the navigation pane, select a resolution for a realm for a NIC configuration under l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, o=Management, o=umc.

For example; l=ip, l=realms, l=OnePop, l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, o=Management, o=umc.

2. Directly after a data type, add an identifier for the value by adding the value after the data type in parentheses.

In the following example, subscriber qualifies the IP data type on the transition.1 line, and cmts qualifies the IpPool data type on the transition.2 line.

3. Click Save.

Qualifying a NIC Data Type from SDX Configuration Editor

To use SDX Configuration Editor to qualify a data type:

1. In the navigation pane, select a NIC configuration file.
2. Select the Realms tab, and expand the Realm <name> section.
3. Select a row that lists a property and the associated value.

The property and value appear in the edit box below the list.

4. Add an identifier for the value by adding the value after the data type in parentheses, and click Modify.

For example, you would add each of the following lines separately:

IP(subscriber):IpPool:RoleA

IpPool(cmts):Vr:RoleB[IpPool]

After you edit an entry and then click Modify for each entry, the changes appear in the list.

5. Click File >Save.
6. Right-click the configuration file, and select SDX System Configuration > Export to LDAP Directory.
