NTP- D145 Create an E-Series Multicard EtherSwitch Manual Cross-Connect
Step 23 Complete the “DLP-D221 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports for VLAN Membership” task on
page 19-19.
Step 24 Complete the “NTP-D146 Test E-Series Circuits” procedure on page 6-89.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-D145 Create an E-Series Multicard EtherSwitch Manual
Cross-Connect
Note In this procedure, cross-connect refers to a circuit connection created within the same node between the
Ethernet card and an STM-N card connected to third-party equipment. You create cross-connects at the
source and destination nodes so an Ethernet circuit can be routed from source to destination across
third-party equipment.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at a circuit endpoint. 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 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 Verify that the Ethernet card that will carry the circuit is provisioned for Multicard EtherSwitch Group.
See the “DLP-D246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card Mode” task on page 19-50.
Step 5 Provision and enable the Ethernet ports. See “DLP-D220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on
page 19-18.
Step 6 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 7 Click the Circuits tab and 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.
Purpose This procedure manually creates multicard EtherSwitch cross-connects
between E-Series Ethernet cards and STM-N cards connected to non-ONS
equipment.
Tools/Equipment E-Series Ethernet cards must be installed at the circuit source node.
