Step 8
Click Next.
Step 9 Complete the “DLP-D36 Provision a VCAT Circuit Source and Destination” task on page 17-28 for the
VCAT circuit you are creating.
Step 10 In the VCAT Circuit Routing Preferences area (Figure 6-14), check Route Automatically. Two options
are available; choose either, both, or none based on your preferences.
• Using Required Nodes/Spans—Check this check box to specify nodes and spans to include or
exclude in the CTC-generated circuit route.
Including nodes and spans for a circuit ensures that those nodes and spans are in the working path
of the circuit (but not the protect path). Excluding nodes and spans ensures that the nodes and spans
are not in the working or protect path of the circuit.
• Review Route Before Creation—Check this check box to review and edit the circuit route before the
circuit is created.
