A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

VC LSPs Form

The VC LSPs form provides details about the selected VC LSP. This topic includes the following sections:

ACs Tab
Status Tab
Conclusions Tab
Registration Tab

Basic Attributes
Attribute	Description
VC ID	The unique index identifier for each virtual circuit. VC ID is set to Not Applicable for a BGP-based VPLS.
PSN Type	The kind of Packet Switched Network (PSN) for the selected VC LSP.
Source	The name of a node. The selected PseudoWire VC starts from this node. Click (the Lookup icon) to view more information about the source node.
Source Address	The IP Address of the source node. The source node is one of the endpoints of the PseudoWire VC.
Destination	The name of a node. The selected PseudoWire VC terminates at this node. Click (the Lookup icon) to view more information about the node.
Destination Address	The IP Address of the destination node.
Status	The status of the PseudoWire VC. Possible values are: Normal - The status of both the LSPs is Normal. Critical - The status of any one or both the LSPs is Critical. Unknown - The status of any one or both the LSPs is Unknown.
ACType	This shows the type of Attachment Circuit.
VFI	This shows the name of the associated VFI.
AC Interface	The attachment circuit or the data link of the selected VC LSP. For more information, see the Help for NNMi, Interface Form.
AC Name	The name of the attachment circuit or the data link of the selected VC LSP.
Encapsulation Type	The kind of service carried in the selected PseudoWire VC. For example, the services are ATM, Frame Relay, or Ethernet. If both the endpoints (PE1 and PE2) are discovered but the status of the LSPs is not Normal, the value of Encapsulation Type is Others.
Management Mode	The NNM iSPI for MPLS supports management of VC LSPs. Possible values are: Managed – The selected VC LSP is managed. Not Managed – The selected VC LSP is not managed. To modify the Management Mode, select "Managed" or "Not Managed" respectively from the Management Mode list of the VC LSP form. Out of Service –A node is unavailable because it is out of service. NNMi does not update discovery information or monitor these nodes. This attribute is useful for notifying NNMi when a device is temporarily out of service. Out of Service is an NNMi supported mode. The NNM iSPI for MPLS does not allow users to select 'Out of Service' value from the Management Mode list. For more information, see Help for NNMi; View the Management Mode for an Object in Your Network.
Management Type	Inheritance type for the selected VC LSP. An MPLS object inherits management mode of its container object. Management Type displays the type of container object from which the selected VC LSP has inherited the Management Mode. Possible values are: Node Inherited - The selected VC LSP belongs to an Not Managed node. PseudoWire VC Inherited - The selected VC LSP belongs to a Managed node participating in an Not Managed VPN. Self You cannot change Management Type of an Not Managed VC LSP to Self if it is PseudoWire Inherited Regional Inherited- One of the VC LSP belonging to a Pseudowire VC at Regional level is Not Managed. In addition, these VC LSPs are not affected by management changes made at the Global level. 'Regional Inherited' type is only applicable for a Global Manager. This is because a VC LSP Not Managed in a regional manager has a direct effect on the Global Manager. However, any Pseudowire VC managed/not managed at Global level will not affect a VC LSP that is 'Regional Inherited'
Create Time	Date and time on which the selected VC LSP was created.
Status Last Modified	Status Last Modified shows the date and time on which the status for the selected VC LSP was last set.

Analysis Pane

ACs Tab

The VC LSPs form provides details about the selected VC LSP. You can use the ACs tab to view the attachment circuit of the selected VC LSP.

ACs Table:

Attribute	Description
Status	This attribute listed in the ACs tab is same as available in the NNMi Interface form. For more information, see Help for NNMi Interface form.
AC Interface	The attachment circuit or the data link of the selected VC LSP. For more information, see the Help for NNMi, Interface Form.
ACType	This shows the type of attachment circuit.
PE Node	The name of the PE node where the PE interface is configured.

Analysis Pane:

Information shown in the Analysis Pane is inherited from the Network Node Manager i-Software (NNMi). For more information, see About the Analysis Pane in NNMi Online Help.

Status Tab

The VC LSP Form provides details about the selected VC LSP. You can use the Status tab to view the status summary the selected VC LSP.

Overall Status
Attribute	Description
Status	The status of the VC LSP. Possible values are: Normal Critical Unknown
Last Modified	Date and time on which status was last set.

Status History
Attribute	Description
Status History	List of the last thirty status updates for the selected VC LSP. For more information, see NNMi Status tab.
Time Stamp	Time at which the selected VC LSP was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Status tab.

Conclusions Tab

The VC LSP Form provides details about the selected VC LSP. The Conclusions tab shows the results of the overall derived status. You can view a quick summary of the status and problem description for the selected VC LSP.

Conclusions Table
Attribute	Description
Status	The status of the VC LSP. For information on how the current status is determined, see the VC LSP Form: Status Tab.
Time Stamp	Current status is set by Causal Engine. The Time Stamp data is the time when the status of the PseudoWire VC is last updated.
Conclusion	The conclusions are set by the Causal Engine after the status calculation. Possible conclusions are: MplsVCLSPUp MplsVCLSPDown MplsVCLSPUnknown The VC LSP down conclusion generates the PseudoWire VC incident to send the alert for the status. For example, MplsVCLSPDown generates the MplsPseudoWireVCDown incident.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Conclusions tab.

Registration Tab

Registration Table
Attribute	Description
Create Time	Date and time on which the selected MPLS object instance was created.
Last Modified	Date when the selected VC LSP was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Registration tab.
