NTP-A209 Provision an Integrated BLSR/Path Protection
Dual-Ring Interconnect
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at a node in the BLSR and path protection
DRI network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Complete the following steps if you have not provisioned the BLSR and path protection that you will
interconnect in an integrated DRI. If the BLSR and path protection are created, continue with Step 3.
a. To provision and test the BLSR, complete the following:
• “NTP-A40 Provision BLSR Nodes” procedure on page 5-10
• “NTP-A126 Create a BLSR” procedure on page 5-12
• “NTP-A175 Two-Fiber BLSR Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-13
• “NTP-A176 Four-Fiber BLSR Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-15
b. To provision and test the path protection, complete the following:
• “NTP-A44 Provision Path Protection Nodes” procedure on page 5-20
• “NTP-A177 Path Protection Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-22
Step 3 Verify that the BLSR and 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 BLSR and path protection 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.
• The interconnect nodes must have the correct fiber connections. An example is shown in
Figure 5-10.
Purpose This procedure provisions a BLSR and a path protection in an integrated
DRI topology.
