NTP-D305 Provision an Integrated MS-SPRing Dual-Ring
Interconnect
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at a node in the MS-SPRing DRI network.
If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
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-SPRings 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 node has STM-N cards installed and has fiber connections
to the other interconnect node:
• The STM-N cards that will connect the MS-SPRings must be installed at the two interconnect nodes.
• The two interconnect nodes must have the correct fiber connections. Figure 5-5 shows an example
of an integrated two-fiber MS-SPRing DRI configuration.
Purpose This procedure provisions MS-SPRings in an integrated DRI topology.
