Merge Two OC-48 Rings
DO ITEMS BELOW IN ORDER LISTED . . . . . . . . FOR DETAILS, GO TO
1. Overview: The steps in this procedure detail how to merge (combine) two small
OC-48 rings into a single larger OC-48 ring.
NOTE:
For discussion purposes, the two rings are referred to as ring-1 and ring-2.
Figure 1 is an example that serves to illustrate ring-1 and ring-2. Both rings
must be accessible via a CIT (either dial-up or direct connection). It is
assumed that there are enough fibers and that all new fibers have already
been tested and installed.
Required Test Equipment:
CIT
Wrist Strap
Required Personnel:
Have installation/maintenance personnel at all four nodes (two nodes of
ring-1 and two nodes of ring-2) where fibers are to be physically moved
(originals disconnected/new connected).
2. If required, connect the CIT to the local FT-2000
network element and condition it.
DLP-501
3.
NOTE:
The CIT user(s) must have a "privileged" security
level.
Log in to the CIT (on both ring-1 and ring-2) using the
expert mode by entering cit expert.
