Step 1

Double-click the card that has the port you want to provision.

Step 2

Click the Provisioning tab.

 

Step 3

Click the Port Name column for the port number you are assigning a name to and enter the desired port

 

name.

 

 

The port name can be up to 32 alphanumeric/special characters and is blank by default.

DLP-E111 Provision Path Protection Selectors During Circuit Creation

Purpose

This task provisions path protection selectors during circuit creation. Use

 

this task only if the circuit will be routed on a path protection.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

You must have the Circuit Creation wizard open.

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Note Provisioning signal degrade–path (SD-P) or signal fail–path (SF-P) thresholds in the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard sets the values only for path protection-protected spans. The circuit source and destination use the node default values of 10E-4 for SD-P and 10E-6 for SF-P for unprotected circuits and for the source and drop of path protection circuits.

Step 1 In the Circuit Attributes area of the Circuit Creation wizard, set the path protection path selectors:

Provision working go and return on primary path—Check this box to route the working path on one fiber pair and the protect path on a separate fiber pair. This feature only applies to bidirectional path protection circuits.

Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
