• Circuit size
• VLAN names
• ONS nodes
Step 21 If the information is not correct, click the Back button and repeat Steps 8 through 20 with the correct
information. If the information is correct, check Route Automatically.
Step 22 Click Finish.
Step 23 Complete the “DLP-A220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on page 19-13 for each node that
carries the circuit.
Step 24 Complete the “DLP-A221 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports for VLAN Membership” task on
page 19-14.
Step 25 Complete the “NTP-A146 Test E-Series Circuits” procedure on page 6-72 for each node that carries the
circuit.
Step 26 To create additional circuits (spokes), repeat Steps 2 through 25.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A144 Create an E-Series Single-Card EtherSwitch Manual
Cross-Connect
Note In this procedure, cross-connect refers to a circuit connection created within the same node between the
Ethernet card and an OC-N card connected to third-party equipment. You create cross-connects at the
source and destination nodes so an Ethernet circuit can be routed from source to destination across
third-party equipment.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node where you will create the circuit.
If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 If you want to assign a name to the circuit source and destination ports before you create the circuit,
complete the “DLP-A314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-8. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 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.)
Purpose This procedure manually creates a single-card EtherSwitch cross-connect
between E-Series Ethernet cards and OC-N cards connected to non-ONS
equipment.
Tools/Equipment E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-12/E100T-G, E1000-2/E1000-2-G) must
be installed at the circuit source node.
