For more information about the VLAN Mappings table, see Viewing VLAN Mappings, page 18-70. Configuring VFI Autodiscovery and Signaling The following commands enable you to configure VFI autodiscovery and signalling at the device level or at the VSI Level. To find out if a device supports these commands, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Supported Cisco VNEs. Working with Pseudowires Prime Network supports the discovery and modeling of Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) and Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) domains that span multisegment pseudowires. After discovery is complete, you can add any of the pseudowires to a map, view their properties in logical inventory, or view their redundancy status. For information on the devices that support pseudowire technology, refer to Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Supported Cisco VNEs. The following topics describe the options available to you for working with pseudowires in Prime Network: Adding Pseudowires to a Map, page 18-106 Viewing Pseudowire Properties, page 18-108 Displaying Pseudowire Information, page 18-110 Viewing Pseudowire Redundancy Service Properties, page 18-111 Applying Pseudowire Overlays, page 18-113 Monitoring the Pseudowire Headend, page 18-115 Command Navigation Description Configure VFI Autodiscovery and SignalingLogical Inventory > right-click the VSI > Commands > Configuration > Configure VFI Autodiscovery and SignalingUse this command to configure Autodiscovery and Signaling at the VFI level.
