Step 12 From the Node menu, choose the circuit source.
Either end node can be the circuit source.
Step 13 From the Slot menu, choose the Ethernet card where you enabl ed the single-card EtherSwitch and click
Next.
The Circuit Creation (Circuit Destination) dialog box opens.
Step 14 Choose the circuit destination from the Node menu.
Choose the node that is not the source.
Step 15 From the Slot menu, choose the Ethernet card where you enabl ed the single-card EtherSwitch and click
Next.
The Circuit Creation (Circuit VLAN Selection) dialog box opens (Figure9-8 on pag e 9-8).
Step 16 Create the VLAN:
a. Click the New VLAN tab.
The Circuit Creation (Define New VLAN) dialog box opens (Figure9-10 on page 9-11).
b. Assign an easily-identifiable name to your VLAN.
c. Assign a VLAN ID.
This should be the next available number (between 2 and 4093) not alre ad y assigned to an existing
VLAN. Each ONS 15454 network supports a maximum of 509 user-provisionable VLANs.
d. Click OK.
e. Highlight the VLAN name and click the >> tab to move the VLAN(s) from the Available VLANs
column to the Circuit VLANs column (Figure 9- 11 on page 9-12).
Step 17 Click Next.
The Circuit Creation (Circuit Routing Preferences) dialog box opens.
Step 18 Confirm that the following information about the point-to-point circuit is correct:
•Circuit name
•Circuit type
•Circuit size
•VLANs that will be transported across this circuit
•ONS 15454 nodes included in this circuit
Note If the circuit information is not correct, click the Back button and repeat the procedure with
the correct information. You can also cli ck Finish, delete the completed circuit, and start the
procedure from the beginning.
Step 19 Click Finish.You must now provision the second circuit and attach it to the already-created VLAN.
Step 20 Log into the ONS 15454 Ethernet circuit endpoint for the second circuit.
Step 21 Double-click the Ethernet card that will create the circuit. The CTC card view displays.
Step 22 Click the Provisioning > Card tabs.
Step 23 Under Card Mode, check Single-card EtherSwitch.
If the Single-card EtherSwitch checkbox is not checked, check it and click Apply.
Step 24 Log into the other ONS 15454 endpoint for the second circuit and repeat Steps 21 – 23.
