Generating L2 and VPLS Reports

This chapter provides information on generating L2 and VPLS reports. It contains the following sections:

•Overview

•Accessing L2 and VPLS Reports

•L2 and VPLS Reports

•Creating Custom L2 and VPLS Reports

Overview

The Prime Fulfillment reporting GUI is used across multiple Prime Fulfillment modules, including L2 and VPLS. For a general coverage of using the reports GUI, running reports, using the output from reports, and creating customized reports, see Chapter 53, "Reports." The rest of this chapter provides information about the L2 and VPLS reports available in Prime Fulfillment.

Accessing L2 and VPLS Reports

To access the L2 and VPLS reports, perform the following steps.

Step 1 To access the reports framework in the Prime Fulfillment GUI, choose Inventory > Reports > Inventory Reports.

The Reports window appears.

Step 2 Click the L2 folder to display the available L2 and VPLS reports.

Step 3 Click the icon of a report to bring up the window associated with that report.

Details on each of the reports are provided in L2 and VPLS Reports.

Creating Custom L2 and VPLS Reports

The reports listed in the Prime Fulfillment GUI in the L2 folder are derived from an underlying configuration file. The file is in XML format. You can access the file in the following location:

$ISC_HOME/resources/nbi/reports/ISC/l2_report.xml

See Chapter 53, "Reports," for details on how to modify report configuration files to create custom reports.
