DLP- E113 Provision a Half Circuit Source and Destination on a Path Protection

DLP-E113 Provision a Half Circuit Source and Destination on a Path Protection

 

Purpose

This task provisions a half circuit source and destination for a path

 

 

protection. This task is used to create path protection selectors on the node.

 

 

Depending on the specific network configuration, the path protection

 

 

selector can be created on the source side (two sources, one destination);

 

 

the destination side (one source, two destinations); or both (two sources,

 

 

two destinations). Selectors are required on both the source and destination

 

 

sides when two STS path protection paths (rings) are interconnected at a

 

 

single node.

 

Tools/Equipment

None

 

Prerequisite Procedures

The Source page of the Circuit Creation wizard must be open.

 

Required/As Needed

As needed

 

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

 

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

 

 

Step 1

From the Node drop-down list, choose the node that will contain the half circuit.

Step 2

From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the card where the circuit will originate.

Step 3

From the Port drop-down list, choose the port where the circuit will originate.

Step 4

If applicable, choose the source STS.

Step 5

If you want to create a path protection with two sources, click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps

 

1 through 4. If not, skip this step and continue with Step 6.

Step 6

Click Next.

 

Step 7

From the Node drop-down list, choose the node chosen in Step 1.

Step 8

From the Slot drop-down list, choose the destination slot.

Step 9

From the Port drop-down list, choose the destination port.

Step 10

If applicable, choose the destination STS.

Step 11

If you want to create a path protection with two destinations, click Use Secondary Destination and

 

repeat Steps 7 through 10.

 

Step 12

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
