Chapter 5 Turn Up Network
NTP-A216 Provision a Traditional Path Protection Dual-Ring Interconnect
b. Complete the “DLP-A516 Export CTC Data” task on page 22-6 to export the conditions
information.
Step 24 Repeat Steps 5 through 23 for each node on the network.
Step 25 If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
again, refer to the next level of support.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for
service application. Continue with Chapter 6, “Create Circuits and VT Tunnels.”
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A216 Provision a Traditional Path Protection Dual-Ring
Interconnect
Note To route circuits on the DRI, you must check the Dual Ring Interconnect check box during circuit
creation.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 2.
Step 2 Complete the following steps if you have not provisioned the path protection configurations that you will
interconnect in a path protection DRI. If the path protection configurations are created, go to Step 3.
a. Complete the “NTP-A44 Provision Path Protection Nodes” procedure on page 5-20 to provision the
path protection configurations.
b. Complete the “NTP-A177 Path Protection Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-22 to test the path
protection configurations.
Note All path protection configurations that will be interconnected must have the same OC-N rate.
Step 3 Verify that the path protection DRI interconnect nodes have OC-N cards installed and have fiber
connections to the other interconnect node:
• The OC-N cards that will connect the path protection configurations must be installed at the
interconnect nodes. The OC-N cards in the path protection nodes and the interconnect nodes must
be the same type.
Purpose This procedure provisions path protection configurations in a traditional
DRI topology. DRIs interconnect two or more path protection
configurations to provide an additional level of protection.
