Chapter 7 Create Channels and Circuits
DLP-G101 View Optical Channel Network Connection Information
• To view circuits that originate, terminate, or pass through a specific card, in node view, double-click
the card containing the circuits you want to view.
Note In node or card view, you can change the scope of the circuits that appear by choosing Card
(in card view), Node, or Network from the Scope drop-down list in the bottom right corner
of the Circuits window.
Step 2 Click the Circuits tab. The Circuits tab shows the following information:
• Circuit Name—Name of the circuit. The circuit name can be manually assigned or automatically
generated.
• Type—Circuit types are OCHNC.
Note The following circuit types are not applicable to DWDM nodes: STS, VT, VTT (VT tunnel),
VAP (VT aggregation point), STS-v (STS VCAT circuit), VT-v (VT VCAT circuit), HOP
(high-order circuit), LOP (low-order circuit), VCT (VC low-order tunnel), and VCA
(low-order VCAT circuit).
• Size—Circuit size. OCHNC sizes are Equipped not specific, Multi-rate, 2.5 Gbps No FEC (forward
error correction), 2.5 Gbps FEC, 10 Gbps No FEC, and 10 Gbps FEC.
Note The following circuit types under the circuit size column are not applicable to DWDM
nodes: STS, VT, VCAT, VC12, VC11, VC3, and VC4.
• OCHNC Wlen—The wavelength provisioned for the OCHNC. See Table 7-3 on page 7-11 for a list
of channels and wavelengths.
• Direction—The circuit direction, either two-way or one-way.
• OCHNC Dir—The line direction of the OCHNC, either East to West or West to East. If the direction
is West to East, the channel exits from the node through the LINE-TX port of the OSC-CSM-E or
OPT-BST-E, named the East Side Card by Cisco MetroPlanner (typically these cards are hosted by
Slot 17). If the direction is East to West, the channel exits from the node through the LINE-TX port
of OSC-CSM-W or OPT-BST-W, named the West Side Card by Cisco MetroPlanner (typically these
cards are hosted by Slot 1).
• Protection—The type of circuit protection. See Table 7-1 on page 7-5 for a list of protection types.
• Status—The circuit status. Table 7-2 on page 7-6 lists the circuit statuses that can appear.
• Source—The circuit source in the format: node/slot/port “port name” (if a port name has been
assigned by the user, the name will appear in quotes).
Note The user can assign a specific port name to every port of any DWDM card after completing
the “DLP-G104 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 7-10.
• Destination—The circuit destination in same format as the circuit source. STSs, VTs, VCs, and
tributary units are not applicable to DWDM nodes.
• # of VLANS—The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit. VLANs are not applicable to
DWDM nodes.
• # of Spans—The number of internode links that constitute the circuit.
