Ethernet Circuit Configurations
Choose STS from the Type pull-down menu.
Step 27
Note
From the Size pull-down menu, choose the size of the circuit.
Step 28
Verify that the Bidirectional check box is checked and click Next.
Step 29
Choose the circuit source from the Node menu and click Next.
Step 30
Either end node can be the circuit source.
Choose the circuit destination from the Node menu.
Step 31
Choose the node that is not the source.
Step 32 From the Slot menu, choose the Ethernet card where you enabled the Single-card EtherSwitch and click
Next.
The Circuit Creation (Circuit VLAN Selection) dialog box appears.
Highlight the VLAN that you created for the first circuit and click the >> tab to move the VLAN(s) from
Step 33
the Available VLANs column to the Selected VLANs column.
Step 34 Click Next and click Finish.
Step 35 You now need to provision the Ethernet ports and assign ports to VLANs. For port provisioning
instructions, see the
assigning ports to VLANs, see the

9.4.4 Ethernet Manual Cross-Connects

ONS 15327s require end-to-end CTC visibility between nodes for normal provisioning of Ethernet
circuits. When other vendors' equipment sits between ONS 15327s, OSI/TARP-based equipment does
not allow tunneling of the ONS 15327 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent this lack of continuous DCC,
the Ethernet circuit must be manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS
network. This allows an Ethernet circuit to run from ONS node to ONS node utilizing the non-ONS
network.
Provisioning manual cross-connects for Multicard EtherSwitch circuits is a separate procedure from
Note
provisioning manual cross-connects for Single-card EtherSwitch circuits. Both procedures follow.
