NTP- D304 Provision a Traditional MS-SPRing Dual-Ring Interconnect
Step 2 Complete the following steps if you have not provisioned the MS-SPRings that you will interconnect in
an MS-SPRing DRI. If the MS-SPRing are created, go to Step 3.
a. Complete the “NTP-D40 Provision MS-SPRing Nodes” procedure on page 5-10 to provision the
MS-SPRings.
b. Complete the “NTP-D41 Create the MS-SPRing” procedure on page 5-13 to create the
MS-SPRings.
c. Complete the “NTP-D341 Two-Fiber MS-SPRing Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-14 to test
two-fiber MS-SPRings.
d. Complete the “NTP-D342 Four-Fiber MS-SPRing Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-16 to test
four-fiber MS-SPRings.
Step 3 Verify that the MS-SPRing DRI interconnect nodes have STM-N cards installed and have fiber
connections to the other interconnect nodes:
• The STM-N cards that will connect the MS-SPRings must be installed at the interconnect nodes.
• The interconnect nodes must have fiber connections. Figure 5-4 shows an example of fiber
connections for a traditional two-fiber MS-SPRing DRI.
