NTP-A44 Provision Path Protection Nodes
Note Path protection is the default ONS 15454 topology. It is available as soon as you install the path
protection OC-N cards, connect the OC-N fibers, and create the DCC terminations. Unlike the BLSRs,
ONS 15454 path protection configurations do not require explicit setup.
