NTP-D191 Create an E-Series EtherSwitch Circuit (Multicard or
Single-Card Mode)
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at an ONS 15454 SDH on the network
where you will create the circuit. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 If you want to assign a name to the circuit source and destination ports before you create the circuit,
complete the “DLP-D314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-7. If you want CTC to assign a name
automatically based on circuit type, node name, and sequence number, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 If a high number of VLANs is already used by the network, complete the “DLP-D99 Determine
Available VLANs” task on page 17-98 to verify that sufficient VLAN capacity is available. (You will
create a VLAN during each circuit creation task.)
Step 4 If enough VLANs are not available, complete the “DLP-D34 Delete VLANs” task on page 17-27 to free
space.
Step 5 Verify that the circuit source and destination Ethernet cards are provisioned for the mode of the circuit
you will create, either multicard or single-card. See the “DLP-D246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card
Mode” task on page 19-50.
Step 6 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 7 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 8 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose VC_HO_PATH_CIRCUIT.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
• Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Step 9 Click Next.
Step 10 Define the circuit attributes:
• Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
• Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid circuit sizes for an Ethernet multicard circuit are VC4 and
VC4-2c. Valid circuit sizes for an Ethernet single-card circuit are VC4, VC4-2c, and VC4-4c.
• Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
Purpose This procedure creates a multicard or single-card EtherSwitch circuit. It
does not apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode. To create a
port-mapped mode circuit, see the “NTP-D192 Create a Circuit for an
E-Series Card in Port-Mapped Mode” procedure on page 6-75.
Tools/Equipment E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-G or E1000-2-G) must be installed at each
end of the Ethernet circuit.
