This procedure creates a hub and spoke Ethernet configuration, which is
made up of multiple circuits that share a common endpoint. It does not
apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode.
E-Series Ethernet cards must be installed at all Ethernet circuit endpoint
nodes.

Name—Assign a name to the circuit. 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 circuit.
Type—Choose STS.
Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid circuit sizes for an Ethernet single-card circuit are STS-1,
STS-3c, STS6c, and STS12c.
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
Number of circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
State—Choose IS (in service)
Apply to drop ports—Uncheck this check box; states cannot be applied to E-Series ports.
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—uncheck this check box; it does not apply to Ethernet
circuits.
Inter-domain (UCP) SLA—If the circuit will travel on a unified control plane (UCP) channel, enter
the service level agreement number. Otherwise, leave the field set to zero.
