Overview

You can use the Logical Connection subflow to create a logical connection on your network interface cards.

This subflow also creates the connection elements and associates them to the logical connection.

If you enter a network interface, equipment, physical connection, logical connection, or managed function as a connection element, the Logical Connection Creation subflow creates the corresponding connection element.

Roles and availability

Users with the admin role can add a subflow to a flow and define the configuration details of the flow. This Flow Designer subflow is available in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application so that you can perform inventory-related data operations.
