NTP- D144 Create an E-Series Single-Card EtherSwitch Manual Cross-Connect
Step 12 Click Next.
Step 13 Provision the circuit source:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the cross-connect source node.
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the Ethernet card where you verified the single-card
EtherSwitch in Step 5.
Step 14 Click Next.
Step 15 Provision the circuit destination:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the cross-connect circuit source node selected in Step 13.
(For Ethernet cross-connects, the source and destination nodes are the same.)
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the STM-N card that is connected to the non-ONS equipment.
c. Depending on the STM-N card, choose the port and/or circuit size from the Port and Size drop-down
lists.
Step 16 Click Next.
Step 17 Review the VLANs in the Available VLANs list. If the VLAN you want to use appears, continue with
Step 18. If you need to create a new VLAN, complete the following steps:
a. Click the New VLAN button.
b. In the New VLAN dialog box, complete the following:
• VLAN Name—Assign an easily identifiable name to your VLAN.
• VLAN ID—Assign a VLAN ID. The VLAN ID should be the next available number between 2
and 4093 that is not already assigned to an existing VLAN. Each ONS 15454 SDH network
supports a maximum of 509 user-provisionable VLANs.
• Topology Host—Choose the topology host ID from the drop-down list.
c. Click OK.
Tip You can also add VLANs in network view by choosing Tools > Manage VLANs. In the
All VLANs dialog box, click the Create button to open the Define New VLAN dialog box.
Step 18 Click the VLAN you want to use on the Available VLANs column, then click the arrow (>>) button to
move the VLAN to the Circuit VLANs column.
Step 19 Click Next. The Circuit Creation (Circuit Routing Preferences) dialog box appears.
Step 20 Confirm that the following information about the single-card EtherSwitch manual cross-connect is
correct (in this task, “circuit” refers to the Ethernet cross-connect):
• Circuit name
• Circuit type
• Circuit size
• VLAN names
• ONS 15454 SDH nodes
If the information is not correct, click the Back button and repeat the procedure with the correct
information.
Step 21 Click Finish.
Step 22 Complete the “DLP-D220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on page 19-18.
