ncimCache. connectstable

The ncimCache.connects table describes the type and speed of connections between devices.

The following table shows the schema for the ncimCache.connects database table.

Table 1. ncimCache.connects database table schema
Column name	Constraints	Data type	Description
ENTITYID	NOT NULL	Integer	The identifier of an entity. Corresponds to the aEndEntityId in the `connects` table in the NCIM database.
ENTITYNAME	NOT NULL	String	The name of the aEndEntityId device.
MANUAL		Boolean	If the connection was added manually to the topology, this value is present and set to 1.
MSGTYPE		String	The name of the table within the ncimCache database.
connectSpeeds	NOT NULL	List of name/value pairs	A list of name/value pairs for the connection. ENTITYNAME The name of the zEndEntityId device in the `connects` table in the NCIM database. SPEEDTYPE Corresponds to `speedType` in the `connectSpeeds` table in the NCIM database. SPEEDVALUE Corresponds to `speedValue` in the `connectSpeeds` table in the NCIM database. UNIDIRECTIONAL Corresponds to `unidirectional` in the `connects` table in the NCIM database.
connects	NOT NULL	List of name/value pairs	A list of name/value pairs for the connection. ENTITYNAME Corresponds to `zEndEntityID` in the `connects` table in the NCIM database. MANUAL This value is 1 if the connection was manually added. The connection can be between discovered devices, manually added devices, or both. If the connection was not manually added, this name/value pair is not present. TOPOENTITYNAME Corresponds to `entityId` in the `topologyLinks` table in the NCIM database. UNIDIRECTIONAL Corresponds to `unidirectional` in the `connects` table in the NCIM database.
