NTP-A105 Add a Path Protection Node
CTC computers are directly connected to other nodes on the same subnet.

Log into the new node:
Step 8
• If the node has a LAN connection and appears on the network map, from the View menu, choose
Go to Other Node, then enter the new node.
• If the new node is not connected to the network, log into it using the

Step 9 Click the Alarms tab. Verify that no critical or major alarms are present, nor any facility alarms, such as
LOS, LOF, AIS-L, SF, and SD. If trouble is indicated (for example, a major alarm exists), resolve the
problem before proceeding. See the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide, as necessary.
(Optional.) Create test circuits, making sure they pass through the path protection trunk cards, and run
Step 10
test traffic through the node to ensure that the cards are functioning properly. See the

procedure on page 6-51
Create the DCC terminations on the new node. See the
Step 11
Terminations" task on page
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 12
Complete the

away from the span that will be broken to connect to the new node.
Two nodes will connect directly to the new node; remove their fiber connections:
Step 14
Remove the east fiber connection from the node that will connect to the west port of the new node.
a.
Remove the west fiber connection from the node that will connect to the east port of the new node.
b.
Replace the removed fibers with the fibers that are connected to the new node.
Step 15
Step 16 Log out of CTC and log back into a node in the network.
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View to display the path protection nodes. The new node
Step 17
should appear in the network map. Wait for a few minutes to allow all the nodes to appear.
Step 18 Click the Circuits tab and wait for all the circuits to appear, including spans. Count the number of
incomplete circuits.
Note
Step 19 In the network view, right-click the new node and choose Update Circuits With New Node from the
shortcut menu. Wait for the confirmation dialog box to appear. Verify that the number of updated circuits
in the dialog box is correct.
