a.
In the Circuit Route Constraints area, click a node or span on the circuit map.
b.
Click Include to include the node or span in the circuit, or click Exclude to exclude the node or span

from the circuit. The order in which you choose included nodes and spans is the order in which the
circuit will be routed. Click spans twice to change the circuit direction.
Repeat Step
d.
Review the circuit route. To change the circuit routing order, choose a node in the Required

Nodes/Lines or Excluded Notes Links lists, then click the Up or Down buttons to change the circuit
routing order. Click Remove to remove a node or span.

arrows show the circuit route. Green arrows indicate spans that you can add. Click a span arrowhead,
then click Include to include the span or Remove to remove the span.
If the provisioned circuit does not reflect the routing and configuration you want, click Back to

verify and change circuit information. If the circuit needs to be routed to a different path, see the
"NTP-B189 Create a Manually Routed Optical Circuit" procedure on page 5-43
route yourself.
Step 15 Click Finish. One of the following results occurs, based on the circuit properties you provisioned in the
Circuit Creation dialog box:
If you entered more than 1 in Number of circuits and selected Auto-ranged, CTC automatically

creates the number of circuits entered in Number of circuits. If auto ranging cannot complete all the
circuits, for example, because sequential ports are unavailable on the source or destination, a dialog
box appears. Set the new source or destination for the remaining circuits, then click Finish to
continue auto ranging.
