DLP-A73 Create a 1+1 Protection Group
Step 1 Verify that the cards are installed according to 1+1 requirements specified in Table 4-1 on page 4-10.
Step 2 In node view, click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step 3 In the Protection Groups area, click Create.
Step 4 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:
• Name—Type a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z,
0-9) characters. Special characters are permitted. For TL1 compatibility, do not use question marks
(?), backslash (\), or double quote (“) characters.
• Type—Choose 1+1 from the drop-down list.
• Protect Port—Choose the protect port from the drop-down list. The list displays the available OC-N
ports, as shown in Figure 17-34. If OC-N cards are not installed, no ports appear in the drop-down
list.
After you choose the protect port, a list of ports available for protection appear in the Available Ports
list, as shown in Figure 17-34. If no cards are available, no ports appear. If this occurs, you can not
complete this task until you install the physical cards or preprovision the ONS 15454 slots using the
“DLP-A330 Preprovision a Slot” task on page 20-20.
Purpose This task creates a 1+1 protection group for any OC-N card/port (OC-3,
OC-3-8, OC-12, OC-12-4, OC-48, OC-48 AS, and OC-192).
