Description
This interface returns the L2 topology structure associated with a given ML VLAN name. Prime Optical
returns an empty L2Topology_T structure if the ML VLAN name specified is currently not associated
with any L2 topology in the EMS.
Parameters
Name
This interface returns the L2 topology structure associated with a given ML VLAN name. Prime Optical
returns an empty L2Topology_T structure if the ML VLAN name specified is currently not associated
with any L2 topology in the EMS.

Optical creates an L2 topology within the same MultiLayerSubnetwork. If the NMS specifies the L2
topology createData with MEs belonging to a different MultiLayerSubnetwork, Prime Optical returns the
ProcessingFailureException EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY.
Prime Optical supports point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), and 802.17 RPR
topologies. However, Prime Optical supports the creation of only RPR, 802.17 RPR, and point-to-point
topologies. Prime Optical treats a hub-and-spoke topology as multiple point-to-point topologies.
This is an asynchronous operation. Prime Optical returns this method after all requests for creating the
underlying SNCs are complete. Prime Optical autodiscovers an L2 topology based on the L1 SNCs
created. Prime Optical generates OCE for all the L1 SNCs created. Prime Optical also generates L2
topology OCE after the L2 Topology is autodiscovered.
To create an RPR or 802.17 RPR topology, you must specify the complete list of ML-series and/or ML2
(L2/L3) equipment names to involve in the topology. RPR consists of all ML-series equipment or all
ML2 (L2/L3) equipment or a combination of ML and ML2 (L2/L3) equipment. To create a point-to-point
topology, you must specify the end TPs of the underlying L1 SNC.
During the L2 topology creation, if any part of the underlying L1 SNC creation fails, Prime Optical
generates a processing failure exception. However, Prime Optical autodiscovers the L2 topology in
