LMP > Data Link > Create LMP Data Link Dialog Box

---

Use the Create LMP Data Link dialog box to create LMP data links. A maximum of 32 data links can be created for each TE link. You cannot create a data link unless a TE link has already been created. For information about creating TE links, see the LMP > TE Link > Create LMP TE Link Dialog Box. Also note that the client ports of TXP_MR_10E or MXP_2.5G_10E DWDM cards can be assigned to LMP data links if the port is provisioned to one of the following payloads: 10GE, OC48/STM16, or OC192/STM64.

Note     Any default node values given in this table can vary depending on the node defaults entered under the Provisioning > Defaults tab.
