Files of Types | This field filters for file names or extensions. |
The file type drop-down filter options include the following IP/MPLSView-specific files:
- All Files (*.*): Displays all file types in a directory in the right pane of the File Manager.
- Spec Files (spec.*): Displays only the specification files in a directory. The specification file is used by the program to determine which input directories and files to load for the network.
- Dparam Files (dparam.*): Allows you to display only the dparam files in a directory. The dparam file contains default parameter values for the network, such as hardware type, link bandwidth and overhead, size and performance tuning, and miscellaneous parameters.
- MuxLoc Files (muxloc.*): Displays only muxloc files in the directory. This file contains the node ID and name of each node in the network.
- BBlink Files (bblink.*): Displays only bblink files. This file contains the location, quantity, vendor, and attributes of the links found in the network.
- Demand Files (demand.*): Displays only demand files. This file contains information regarding
the end-to-end demands, circuits, or flows, and path specifications
needed for the network.
You can enter in a custom filter string using the wildcards “*” and “?” and press <Enter>.
- ‘*’ (Asterisk): Represents any string of characters. One advantage is that files can be filtered by runcode. For example, you can type in the filter *.mpls-fish to filter the files to show only files with the runcode mpls-fish.
- ‘?’ (Question Mark): Represents
any one character. For example, the bblink.mpls? string
can be used to fetch files named
bblink.mpls1andbblink.mpls2but notbblink.mpls-fish.
