• 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 11 If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the “DLP-A218 Provision Path Protection
Selectors” task on page 19-12.
Step 12 Click Next.
Step 13 Provision the circuit source:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the hub node.
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the Ethernet card where you enabled the single-card
EtherSwitch.
Step 14 Click Next.
Step 15 Provision the circuit destination:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose an EtherSwitch circuit endpoint node.
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the Ethernet card where you enabled the single-card
EtherSwitch.
Step 16 Click Next.
Step 17 Review the VLANs listed in the Available VLANs list. If the VLAN you want to use appears, continue
with Step 19. 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:
• VLAN Name—Assign an easily identifiable name to your VLAN.
• VLAN ID—Assign a VLAN ID. The VLAN ID should be the next available number between 2
and 4093 that is not already assigned to an existing VLAN. Each ONS 15454 network supports
a maximum of 509 user-provisionable VLANs.
• Topology Host—Choose the topology host ID from the drop-down list.
c. Click OK.
Tip You can also add VLANs in network view by choosing Tools > Manage VLANs. In the All
VLANs dialog box, click the Create button to open the Define New VLAN dialog box.
Step 18 In the Available VLANs column, click the VLAN you want to use and click the arrow button (>>) to
move the VLAN to the Circuit VLANs column.
Note Moving the VLAN from Available VLANs to Circuit VLANs forces all the VLAN traffic to use
the shared packet ring you are creating.
Step 19 Click Next.
