Ethernet topology constraint¶
Table with one row for each element of the type: 'Ethernet topology constraint'.
Columns¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Indicates if the design rule is active, and thus should be enforced |
| Tags Node A | A list of regular expressions of tags, to check against the first node of the node pair. A node is matching if ALL the regular expressions match for the node. Character '' is a wildcard: 1) If the reg-exp is of type 'something', the node matches the expression if it has at least one tag starting with 'something' (case-sensitive). 2) If the reg-exp equals '*', all nodes are matched, even those without tags. |
| Tags Node B | A list of regular expressions of tags, to check against the second node of the node pair. A node is matching if ALL the regular expressions match for the node. Character '' is a wildcard: 1) If the reg-exp is of type 'something', the node matches the expression if it has at least one tag starting with 'something' (case-sensitive). 2) If the reg-exp equals '*', all nodes are matched, even those without tags. |
| Inter-intra PoP focus | Indicates the focus of the design rule: if applied only to inter-PoP connections (and thus other connections are not accounted for), only to intra-PoP connections, or to any type of connection (even not related to PoPs). |
| Preference | The preference of this option, where smaller values are preferred over larger ones. |
| Hit elements | Target elements to which this design rule applies, i.e. they match the design rule |
| Attributes | User-defined attributes associated to this element |
| User description | A user-defined string that serves as an identifier for this rule. This is useful to identify the decisions in the reports |
| PoP/Node focus | Indicates the focus of the design rule: if node tags or PoP tags are checked to test its matching. |
| JSON | An optional JSON content describing this element |
| Property | This enumeration represents the options for a particular adjacency in a topology: it can be acceptable (i.e. it is possible to have one or more links between the adjacency end nodes), or forbidden (i.e. there cannot be links between them in the design). |
| Tags | User-defined tags associated to this element |
Views¶
| Name | Columns | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Full view | Active, Pop/nodeFocus, Preference, UserDescription, HitElements, Inter-intraPopFocus, TagsNodeA, TagsNodeB, Property, Tags, Attributes, Json | This table view corresponds to a view with all the table columns. In some occassions, this may imply an impractically large number of columns for human inspection. |
| Description & tags & attributes | Tags, Attributes, Json | Columns associated to side information like element names, descriptions, user associated tags or attributes |
| Default view | Active, Pop/nodeFocus, UserDescription, Inter-intraPopFocus, TagsNodeA, TagsNodeB, Property, Tags | This table view corresponds to a subset of columns selected as representative for a default table view. They typically include the most typical required values |
