Circuit Protection Types
Description
The circuit is protected by a 1+1 protection group.
The circuit is protected by a two-fiber MS-SPRing.
The circuit is protected by a four-fiber MS-SPRing.
The circuit is routed on a protection channel access (PCA) path on a two-fiber
MS-SPRing; PCA circuits are unprotected.
The circuit is routed on a PCA path on a four-fiber MS-SPRing; PCA circuits are
unprotected.
The circuit is protected by a dual-ring interconnection.
The circuit is protected by both a two-fiber and a four-fiber MS-SPRing.
A circuit with connections on the same node is not protected.
The circuit is routed on a PCA path on both two-fiber and four-fiber MS-SPRings;
PCA circuits are unprotected.
The circuit is protected by diverse SDH topologies, for example, an MS-SPRing and
an SNCP, or an SNCP and a 1+1 protection group.
The circuit is protected by an SNCP.
The circuit is protected by the protect transponder (TXPP_MR_2.5G) splitter
protection. For splitter information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Installation and Operations Guide.
A circuit has a source and destination on different nodes and communication is
down between the nodes. This protection type appears if not all circuit components
are known.
A circuit with a source and destination on different nodes is not protected.
A circuit created as a fully protected circuit is no longer protected due to a system
change, such as removal of a MS-SPRing or 1+1 protection group.
The circuit is protected by a transponder or muxponder card Y-cable protection
group. For more information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Installation and
Operations Guide.
