DLP-E163 Delete Circuits
Step 1 Complete the “NTP-E69 Back Up the Database” procedure on page 14-4.
Step 2 Investigate all network alarms and resolve any problems that could be affected by the circuit deletion. If
necessary, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 3 Verify that traffic is no longer carried on the circuit and that the circuit can be safely deleted.
Step 4 Click the Circuits tab.
Step 5 Choose the circuit you want to delete, then click Delete.
Step 6 In the Delete Circuits confirmation dialog box, check one or both of the following, as needed:
•Check Change drop port admin state and choose OOS,DSBLD from the drop-down list to put the
circuit source and destination ports out of service if the circuit is the same size as the port or is the
only circuit using the port. If the circuit is not the same size as the port or the only circuit using the
port, CTC will not change the port state.
•If you check Notify when completed, the CTC Alerts confirmation dialog box indicates when all
circuit source/destination ports are in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state and the circuit is deleted.
During this time, you cannot perform other CTC functions. If you are deleting many circuits, waiting
for confirmation can take a few minutes. Circuits are deleted whether or not this check box is
checked.
Note The CTC Alerts dialog box does not automatically open to show a deletion error unless you
checked All alerts or Error alerts only in the CTC Alerts dialog box. For more information,
see the “DLP-E184 Configure the CTC Alerts Dialog Box for Automatic Popup” task on
page 17-67. If the CTC Alerts dialog box is not set to open automatically with a notification,
a red triangle inside the CTC Alerts toolbar icon indicates that a notification exists.
Step 7 Complete one of the following:
•If you checked “Notify when completed,” the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. If you want to save
the information, continue with Step 8. If you do not want to save the information, continue with
Step 9.
•If you did not check “Notify when completed,” the Circuits window appears. Continue with Step 10.
Step 8 If you want to save the information in the CTC Alerts dialog box, complete the following steps. If you
do not want to save, continue with the next step.
a. Click Save.
b. Click Browse and navigate to the directory where you want to save the file.
c. Type the file name using a .txt file extension, and click OK.
Step 9 Click Close to close the CTC Alerts dialog box.
Purpose This task deletes circuits.
