New Features and Functionality

If you change the column width of table data in a CTC window, CTC will retain that width for the rest of the CTC session (unless you change it again). CTC Release 3.3 allows the operator to save individual column widths for each type of table.
OSPF Support
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) support allows OSPF hello notifications to be exposed through the LAN interface to external routers which automatically update their static route tables. OSPF can be configured so that OSPF routes are not displayed automatically. The default setting is off (not advertising OSPF).
Inhibit Switch to Protection Support
CTC reflects protection switches issued by TL1 commands. CTC also supports Lockout inhibition when set by TL1 or CTC.
