• The interconnect nodes must have fiber connections. An example is shown in Figure 5-7. This
example shows a path protection DRI with two rings, Nodes 1 through 4 and 5 through 8. In the
example, an additional OC-N is installed in Slot 13 at Node 4 and connected to an OC-N in Slot 6
at Node 6. Nodes 3 and 5 are interconnected with OC-N cards in Slot 6 (Node 3) and Slot 13 (Node
5).
