Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A142 Create an E-Series Shared Packet Ring Ethernet Circuit
Step 3 Verify that the Ethernet cards that will carry the circuit are provisioned for the Multicard EtherSwitch
Group. See the “DLP-A246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card Mode” task on page 19-29.
Step 4 Provision and enable the Ethernet ports. See “DLP-A220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on
page 19-13.
Step 5 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 6 Click the Circuits tab and click Create.
Step 7 In the Create Circuits dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose STS.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
• Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Step 8 Click Next.
Step 9 Define the circuit attributes:
• Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
• Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid shared packet ring circuit sizes are STS-1, STS-3c, and STS6c.
• Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
• Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this box; it does not apply to Ethernet circuits.
• State—The circuit is in service (default).
• Apply to drop ports—Uncheck this box; states cannot be applied to E-Series ports.
• Protected Drops—Leave the default unchanged (unchecked).
Step 10 If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the “DLP-A218 Provision Path Protection
Selectors” task on page 19-12.
Caution Layer 1 SONET protection does not extend to multicard EtherSwitch circuits on path protection.
Step 11 Click Next.
Step 12 Provision the circuit source:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose one of the shared packet ring circuit endpoint nodes. (Either
end node can be the shared packet ring circuit source.)
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose Ethergroup.
Step 13 Click Next.
Step 14 Provision the circuit destination:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the second shared packet ring circuit endpoint node.
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose Ethergroup.
Step 15 Click Next.
Step 16 Review the VLANs listed in the Available VLANs list. If the VLAN you want to use appears, continue
with Step 17. If you need to create a new VLAN, complete the following steps:
a. Click the New VLAN button.
b. In the Define New VLAN dialog box, complete the following:
