...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Node isolated
The node isolated indicates whether the network element is isolated from the DCN or
not.
Max. LSP Size
The system is provisionable to either operate with a maximum LSP PDU size of 512
byte (standard in Alcatel-Lucent products) or 1492 bytes (default of ISO8473). Default
value is 512 byte.
Important! This parameter has to be set to the same value for all NEs in the
network.

The NSAP address of a node is its DCN wide identifier which uniquely identifies the
node in the network. The different formats are described in the table below:
NSAP format
Fixed 20 byte
Fixed 10 byte
Flexible
Area ID
The Area ID indicates the area to which a node belongs and thus its logical location in
the network. Area ID for fixed 20 byte and fixed 10 byte NSAP format: 4 hexadecimal
digits (2 bytes).
SID
The SID is a unique identifier of the system. Normally this is equal to the Ethernet
Address.
Full NSAP
Area address for flexible NSAP format: 2 - 26 hexadecimal digits (1-13 bytes).
Additional manual area addresses
A synonymous Area Address associated with an Intermediate System. Together with
the SID and SEL fields, it is a valid synonymous NSAP address for an Intermediate
System. This address can be used to connect subnetworks to the OSI-DCN with nodes
having a different NSAP format than the formats supported. For example nodes from
other vendors. In addition to the Area Address that can be provisioned in the Area ID
