Figure 6-18 Automatically Routing A Vcat Circuit - Cisco ONS 15454 Series Procedure Manual

NTP-A264 Create an Automatically Routed VCAT Circuit
Figure 6-18
If the VCAT circuit has a source or destination on a CE-100T-8 card, choose one of the following routing
Step 10
types.
Common Routing—Routes the members on the same fiber.
•
Split Routing—Allows the individual members to be routed on different fibers or each member to
•
have different routing constraints. Split routing is required when creating circuits over a path
protection.
If the VCAT circuit does not have a source or destination on a CE-100T-8 card, common routing is
automatically selected and you cannot change it.
If you want to set preferences for individual members, complete the following in the Member
Step 11
Preferences area. To set identical preferences for all members, skip this step and continue with
Number—Choose a number (between 1 and 256) from the drop-down list to identify the member.
•
Name—Type a unique name to identify the member. The name can be alphanumeric and up to
•
48 characters (including spaces). If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the
circuit.
Protection—Choose the member protection type:
•
–
–
–
–
Node-Diverse Path—(Split-fiber routing only.) Available for each member when Fully Protected is
•
chosen.
To set preferences for all members, complete the following in the Set Preferences for All Members area:
Step 12
• Protection—Choose the member protection type:

Automatically Routing a VCAT Circuit
Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
PCA—Routes the circuit on a BLSR protection channel.
DRI—(Split routing only.) Routes the member on a dual ring interconnect circuit.
Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
PCA—Routes the member on a BLSR protection channel.
DRI—(Split routing only.) Routes the member on a dual ring interconnect circuit.
