NTP-A265 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit
c. Review the circuit route. To add or delete a circuit span, choose a node on the circuit route. Blue
arrows show the circuit route. Green arrows indicate spans that you can add. Click a span arrowhead,
then click Include to include the span or Remove to remove the span.
d. If the provisioned circuit does not reflect the routing and configuration you want, click Back to
verify and change circuit information. If the circuit needs to be routed to a different path, see the
“NTP-A265 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit” procedure on page 6-90 to assign the circuit
route yourself.
e. Repeat Steps a through d for each member.
Step 16 Click Finish. The Circuits window appears.
Note Depending on the complexity of the network and number of members, the VCAT circuit creation
process may take several minutes.
Step 17 In the Circuits window, verify that the circuit you created appear in the circuits list.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A265 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit
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 tunnel 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 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 4 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, choose STS-V or VT-V from the Circuit Type drop-down list.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 Define the circuit attributes (Figure 6-17 on page 6-87):
• 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.
• Type—Displays the circuit type you chose in Step 4. You cannot change it.
• Bidirectional—Checked is the default. You cannot change it.
Purpose This procedure creates a manually routed VCAT circuit. For more
information about VCAT circuits, refer to the “Circuits and Tunnels”
chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
Tools/Equipment CE-100T-8, FC_MR-4, or ML-Series cards must be installed at the nodes
used in the VCAT circuit.
