Description

Route Automatically
|
If checked, CTC routes the VCAT circuit automatically based on the parameters that you specify on this page.
|
Using Required Nodes/Spans
|
If checked, CTC allows you to choose nodes and spans to include in the automatically routed VCAT circuit path before circuit completion.
|
Review Route Before Creation
|
If checked, CTC allows you to review and modify the VCAT circuit route before circuit creation.
|
Common Fiber Routing
|
If chosen, CTC routes the VCAT circuit members on the same fiber.
|
Split Routing
|
If chosen, CTC routes the VCAT circuit members on different fibers.
|
Member Preferences
|
Provisions the protection for individual VCAT circuit members. Valid entries are:
Name: Type a unique name to identify the member. The name can be
alphanumeric and up to 48 characters (including spaces). If you leave the
field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
Protection: Choose the member protection type:
Fully Protected: Routes the circuit on a protected path.
Unprotected: Creates an unprotected circuit.
PCA: Routes the member on an MS-SPRing protection channel.
DRI: (Split routing only.) Routes the member on a dual ring
interconnect circuit.
Node-Diverse Path: (Split-fiber routing only.) Available for each member
when Fully Protected is chosen.
Note If a member is unprotected, all members must be unprotected.
