What to do next
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Initial Plan |
Name of the initial plan, selected from open plan files. |
Final Plan |
Name of the final plan, selected from open plan files. |
Traffic Level |
Changeover monitors maximum interface utilization levels for all steps in the sequence. The utilizations are calculated using this traffic level. |
Acceptable Utilization |
The percentage of maximum acceptable utilization of any interface at any step during the changeover sequence. Changeover tries to keep utilizations below this level, although it is not always possible. Often the utilization spikes upward during the last few steps of the sequence, if, for example, new ECMP paths must be put in place. WAE Design tries to keep the number of high-utilization steps to a minimum. |
Group LSP steps by source node |
Specify whether to group the LSP steps by source node. |
