Configuring CTC Circuits for Cisco Proprietary RPR
Figure 17-5 Three Node Cisco Proprietary RPR
The three-node Cisco proprietary RPR in Figure 17-5 is used for all of the examples in the consecutive
procedures. Combining the examples will give you an end-to-end example of creating a
Cisco proprietary RPR. It is assumed that the SONET/SDH node and its network is already active.
Caution The specific steps in the following procedure are for the topology shown in the example. Your own
specific steps will vary according to your network. Do not attempt this procedure without obtaining a
detailed plan or method of procedure from an experienced network architect.
To configure the circuits, you need to create three circuits in CTC:
Create a circuit from Node 1, POS Port 0 to Node 2, POS Port 1.
Create a circuit from Node 2, POS Port 0 to Node 3, POS Port 1.
Create a circuit from Node 3, POS Port 0 to Node 1, POS Port 1.
Step 1 In CTC, log into Node 1 and navigate to the CTC card view for the ML-Series card that will be in the
Cisco proprietary RPR (Figure 17-6).
