NTP-A179 Provision an Integrated BLSR Dual-Ring Interconnect
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at a node in the BLSR DRI network. If you
are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Complete the following steps if you have not provisioned the BLSRs that you will interconnect in a
BLSR DRI. If the BLSRs are created, go to Step 3.
a. Complete the “NTP-A40 Provision BLSR Nodes” procedure on page 5-10 to provision the BLSRs.
b. Complete the “NTP-A126 Create a BLSR” procedure on page 5-12 to create the BLSRs.
c. Complete the “NTP-A175 Two-Fiber BLSR Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-13 to test
two-fiber BLSRs.
d. Complete the “NTP-A176 Four-Fiber BLSR Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-15 to test
four-fiber BLSRs.
Step 3 Verify that the BLSR DRI node has OC-N cards installed and has fiber connections to the other
interconnect node:
• The OC-N cards that will connect the BLSRs 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 BLSR DRI configuration.
Purpose This procedure provisions BLSRs in an integrated DRI topology.
