BLSR (Network View)


(Network view) Use the network view BLSR tab to view information about network bidirectional line switched rings (BLSRs), including the ring name, ring type (two-fiber or four-fiber), status, names of nodes in the BLSR, and any active ring or span reversions. For ONS 15327, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600 nodes, you can create, delete, and edit two-fiber BLSRs. For ONS 15454 nodes, you can convert two-fiber BLSRs to four-fiber BLSRS and create four-fiber BLSRs.
