Cross-Connect
Note
In this procedure, cross-connect refers to a circuit connection created within the same node between the
Ethernet card and an OC-N card connected to third-party equipment. You create cross-connects at the
source and destination nodes so an Ethernet circuit can be routed from source to destination across
third-party equipment.
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
Complete the
“DLP-A99 Determine Available VLANs” task on page 17-99
to verify that sufficient
VLAN capacity is available. (You will create a VLAN during each circuit creation task.)
Step 3
Verify that the Ethernet card that will carry the circuit is provisioned for Multicard EtherSwitch Group.
See the
“DLP-A246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card Mode” task on page 19-29
.
Step 4
Provision and enable the Ethernet ports. See
“DLP-A220 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports” task on
.
Step 5
From the View menu, choose
Go to Network View
.
Step 6
Click the
Circuits
tab and click
Create
.
Step 7
In the Create Circuits dialog box, complete the following fields:
•
Circuit Type—Choose
STS
.
•
Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
•
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Step 8
Click
Next
.
Step 9
Define the circuit attributes:
•
Name—Assign a name to the source cross-connect. 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
source cross-connect.
•
Size—Choose the size of the circuit that will be carried by the cross-connect. For multicard
EtherSwitch circuits, the available sizes are STS-1, STS-3c, and STS-6c.
•
Bidirectional—Leave checked (default).
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this box.
Purpose
This procedure manually creates multicard EtherSwitch cross-connects
between E-Series Ethernet cards and an OC-N cards connected to
non-ONS equipment.
Tools/Equipment
E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-12/E100T-G, E1000-2/E1000-2-G) must
be installed at the circuit source node.
