Managing PNNI Nodes

The following sections describe how to configure upper level peer groups and how to manage the PNNI
node.

Creating Upper Level Peer Groups

Upper level peer groups enable routing from one PNNI peer group to another. If you are managing a
single peer group WAN, you do not need to create upper level peer groups.

peer group parameters are based on. You should configure the basic PNNI node parameters before
creating upper level peer groups.
After you configure the lowest level PNNI nodes, all nodes within the same peer group can communicate
with each other. All you need to do to enable communications between two nodes in a peer group is to
add a PNNI trunk between them as described in the
