DLP- E180 Provision Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports

DLP-E180 Provision Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports

 

 

 

Purpose

 

This task creates a path trace on STS circuit source ports and destination.

 

 

 

Tools/Equipment

ONS 15600 cards capable of transmitting and receiving path trace must be

 

 

 

 

 

installed at the circuit source and destination ports. See Table 17-1for a list

 

 

 

 

 

of cards.

Note

This task assumes you are setting up path trace on a bidirectional circuit and setting up transmit strings

 

 

 

at the circuit source and destination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1

From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2

Click the Circuits tab.

 

 

Step 3

For the STS circuit you want to monitor, verify that the source and destination ports are on a card that

 

 

 

can transmit and receive the path trace string. Table 17-1provides a list of cards that support path trace.
