Chapter 6 Create Circuits and Low-Order Tunnels
NTP- D54 Create an Automatically Routed Low-Order VC3 Circuit
NTP-D54 Create an Automatically Routed Low-Order VC3 Circuit
Step 1
Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at an ONS 15454 SDH on the network
where you will create the circuit. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2 .
Step 2
On the shelf graphic, verify that XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXL-2.5G cross-connect cards are installed in
Slots 8 and 10.
Step 3 If you want to assign a name to the circuit source and destination ports before you create the circuit,
complete the
“DLP-D314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-7 . If you want CTC to assign a name
automatically based on circuit type, node name, and sequence number, continue with Step 4 .
Step 4
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View .
Step 5 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create .
Step 6
In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
•
Circuit Type—Choose VC_LO_PATH_CIRCUIT .
•
Size—Choose VC3 .
• Number of Circuits—Enter the number of VC3 circuits that you want to create. The default is 1. If
you are creating multiple circuits with the same slot and consecutive port numbers, you can use
Auto-ranged to create the circuits automatically.
Step 7
Click Next .
Step 8 Define the circuit attributes ( Figure 6-5 on page 6-32 ):
•
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.
•
Auto-ranged—This check box is automatically selected if you enter more than 1 in the Number of
Circuits field. Auto-ranging creates identical (same source and destination), sequential circuits
automatically. Uncheck the box if you do not want CTC to create sequential circuits automatically.
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this check box if you want to create one or more
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. If you check this box, low-order
tunnels and Ethergroup sources and destinations are unavailable.
•
State—Choose the administrative state to apply to all of the cross-connects in a circuit:
–
Unlocked —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Unlocked-enabled service state.
Purpose This procedure creates an automatically routed low-order VC3 circuit,
meaning that CTC chooses the circuit route based on the parameters you
specify and on the software version.
Tools/Equipment XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXL-2.5G cards must be installed at the circuit
source and destination nodes.
Prerequisite Procedures NTP-D127 Verify Network Turn-Up, page 6-5
XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXL-2.5G cards must be installed at the circuit
source and destination nodes.
