Chapter 6 Create Circuits and Low-Order Tunnels
NTP- D284 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit
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 might 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-D284 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit
Step 1
Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 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-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 5 .
Step 3
Complete the following as necessary (you can provision Ethernet or POS ports before or after the VCAT
circuit is created):
• To provision Ethernet ports for CE-100T-8 circuits, complete the “DLP-D136 Provision CE-100T-8
Ethernet Ports” task on page 18-30 .
•
To provision Ethernet ports for CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the “DLP-D211 Provision CE-1000-4
Ethernet Ports” task on page 19-8 .
• To provision POS ports for CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the “DLP-D141 Provision
CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 POS Ports” task on page 18-33 .
•
To provision Ethernet ports for ML-Series circuits, complete the “DLP-D493 Provision the Ethernet
Port of the ML-Series Card” task on page 21-49 .
• To provision POS ports for ML-Series circuits, complete the “DLP-D494 Provision the POS Port of
the ML-Series Card” task on page 21-50 .
Step 4
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View .
Step 5
In the Circuit Creation dialog box, choose VC_HO_PATH_VCAT_CIRCUIT from the Circuit Type
drop-down list.
Step 6
Click Next .
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 SDH Reference Manual .
Tools/Equipment ML-Series, CE-100T-8, CE-1000-4, or FC_MR-4 cards must be installed
at the nodes used in the VCAT circuit.
