The Link Maintenance window is a feature of NFM-T that allows the user to perform maintenance tasks on links and nodes in a GMPLS network. The Link Maintenance window is a wizard that provides commands to set links and nodes to maintenance mode, which prevents them from being used for routing new LSPs or carrying traffic. The user can also use the Link Maintenance window to reroute existing LSPs away from the links and nodes that are in maintenance mode, either manually or automatically. The Link Maintenance window helps the user to perform network maintenance operations without disrupting the service availability or quality12. References:

Question # 15
Which provisioning steps arecommon in both CP to plain MP networks?
Options:
A.
Node creation SRG creation Node synchronization CPB power balance
B.
Node creation
CPB provisioning process Link association CPB power balance
C.
Node creation
CPB provisioning process Node synchronization CPB power balance
D.
Node creation
CPB provisioning process Node synchronization NPA implementation
The provisioning steps that are common in both CP to plain MP networks are node creation, CPB provisioning process, node synchronization, and CPB power balance. These steps are required to create and commission the nodes, provision the cross-connect boards (CPBs), associate the links between the nodes, synchronize the network elements (NEs) with the NFM-T, and balance the power levels of the CPBs.
