New Features and Functionality

CTC Node View

With Release 3.3 the node view has been enhanced to match the physical appearance of the MIC and XTC cards. An LED has been added to the view for each line card showing the current state of that card. There are three states:

Loading—the card is booting

Standby—the card is fully booted and the port is not in service

Active—the card is active and the port is in service
