Step 19
Click Finish.
You now need to provision the Ethernet ports and assign ports to VLANs. For port provisioning
instructions, see the
see the
following step after assigning the ports to VLANs.
Highlight the circuit and click Edit.
Step 20
The Edit Circuit dialog box opens.
Click Drops and click Create.
Step 21
The Define New Drop dialog box opens.
Step 22
From the Slot menu, choose the optical card that links the ONS 15454 to the non-ONS 15454 equipment.
Step 23
From the Port menu, choose the appropriate port.
Step 24
From the STS menu, choose the STS that matches the STS of the connecting non-ONS 15454 equipment.
Step 25
Click OK.
The Edit Circuit dialog box opens.
Step 26
Confirm the circuit information that displays in the Circuit Information dialog box and click Close.
Repeat Steps 1 – 26 at the second ONS 15454 Ethernet manual cross-connect endpoint.

Note
9.4 VLAN Support
Users can provision up to 509 VLANs with the CTC software. Specific sets of ports define the broadcast
domain for the ONS 15454. The definition of VLAN ports includes all Ethernet and packet-switched
SONET port types. All VLAN IP address discovery, flooding, and forwarding is limited to these ports.
The ONS 15454 802.1Q-based VLAN mechanism provides logical isolation of subscriber LAN traffic
over a common SONET transport infrastructure. Each subscriber has an Ethernet port at each site, and
each subscriber is assigned to a VLAN. Although the subscriber's VLAN data flows over shared circuits,
the service appears to the subscriber as a private data transport.
