Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A191 Create an E-Series EtherSwitch Circuit (Multicard or Single-Card Mode)
• If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and selected Auto-ranged, CTC
automatically creates the number of circuits entered in Number of Circuits. If auto-ranging cannot
complete all the circuits, for example, because sequential ports are unavailable at the source or
destination, a dialog box appears. Set the new source or destination for the remaining circuits, then
click Finish to continue auto-ranging. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.
• If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and did not choose Auto-ranged, the
Circuit Creation dialog box appears so you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps 5
through 10 for each additional circuit. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.
Step 12 In the Circuits window, verify that the new circuits appear in the circuits list.
Step 13 Complete the “NTP-A135 Test Electrical Circuits” procedure on page 6-36 or the “NTP-A62 Test OC-N
Circuits” procedure on page 6-51, as applicable. Skip this step if you built a test circuit.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A191 Create an E-Series EtherSwitch Circuit (Multicard or
Single-Card Mode)
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node where you will create the
EtherSwitch circuit. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 If a high number of VLANs is already used by the network, complete the “DLP-A99 Determine
Available VLANs” task on page 17-99 to verify that sufficient VLAN capacity is available. (You will
create a VLAN during each circuit creation task.)
Step 3 If enough VLANs are not available, complete the “DLP-A335 Delete VLANs” task on page 20-23 to
free space.
Step 4 Verify that the circuit source and destination Ethernet cards are provisioned for the mode of the circuit
you will create, either multicard or single-card. See the “DLP-A246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card
Mode” task on page 19-29.
Step 5 Provision and enable the Ethernet ports. See “DLP-A220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on
page 19-13.
Step 6 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 7 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Purpose This procedure creates a multicard or single-card EtherSwitch circuit. It
does not apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode. To create a
port-mapped mode circuit, see NTP-A192 Create a Circuit for an E-Series
Card in Port-Mapped Mode, page 6-59.
Tools/Equipment E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-12/E100T-G, E1000-2/E1000-2-G) must
be installed at each end of the Ethernet circuit.
