Bblink File
Policy information can be added to the bblink (link) file for a link entry by adding the following into an entry:
POLICY1=policy_name1 POLICY2=policy_name2
where policy_name1 and policy_name2 are names of the policies applied to the interfaces on both sides of the link, interface_name1 and interface_name2, respectively. This can also be accomplished through the IP/MPLSView client in Attach Policies to Interfaces on page 191. If making these modifications through the IP/MPLSView client, saving the network environment will automatically update the bblink file.
Example:
#linkname nodeA nodeZ vendor count [ C1= interface_name_1
C2=interface_name_2 ] [ IP1=IP_address_1 IP2=IP_address_2 ] [ POLICY1=policy1
POLICY2=policy2 ] Link345 Paris2 London4 DEF 1 C1=Serial2/0/0 C2=Serial5/0/1
IP1=192.10.20.218/30 IP2=192.10.20.217/30 POLICY1=polA1 POLICY2=polZ3 | Note: There should be no space between the keywords, the equal sign, and the name. Also the names should not include space. |
For example, the following are incorrect specifications:
C1 = Serial2/0/0 C1=Serial 2/0/0
The following is the correct specification:
C1=Serial2/0/0
After creating the bblink file, you need to let the system know where that file is.
There are two ways of pointing to the bblink file:
- Add in the specification file the following line:
bblink = bblink_filename
where bblink_filename is the name of the bblink file just created above.
- In the Spec File Generation window of the IP/MPLSView client, click on the Network Files tab and then click on bblink button to select or input the bblink file just created above.
