Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A144 Create an E-Series Single-Card EtherSwitch Manual Cross-Connect
Step 4 In the node view, double-click the Ethernet card that will carry the cross-connect.
Step 5 Verify that the Ethernet cards that will carry the circuit are provisioned for single-card EtherSwitch. See
the “DLP-A246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card Mode” task on page 19-29.
Step 6 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 7 Click the Circuits tab and click Create.
Step 8 In the Create Circuits dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose STS.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Step 9 Click Next.
Step 10 Define the circuit attributes:
• Name—Assign a name to the cross-connect. 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 cross-connect.
• Size—Choose the cross-connect size. For single-card EtherSwitch, the available sizes are STS-1,
STS-3c, STS-6c, and STS-12c.
• Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
• Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this box.
• State—The circuit is in service (default).
• Apply to drop ports—Uncheck this box.
• 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 cross-connect source node.
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the Ethernet card where you enabled the single-card
EtherSwitch in Step 5.
Step 14 Click Next.
Step 15 Provision the circuit destination:
a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the cross-connect circuit source node selected in Step 13.
(For Ethernet cross-connects, the source and destination nodes are the same.)
b. From the Slot drop-down list, choose the OC-N card that is connected to the non-ONS equipment.
c. Depending on the OC-N card, choose the port and/or STS from the Port and STS drop-down lists.
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 18. 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.
