Network View
The Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) network view allows you to view and manage Cisco ONS nodes that have data communications channel (DCC) connections to the node that you logged into and any login node groups you have selected. Selecting a node or span in the graphic area displays information about the node and span in the CTC window status area.
Note: Nodes with DCC connections to the login node do not appear if you select Disable Network Discovery in the Login dialog box.
The graphic area displays a background image with colored icons. A user with Superuser security privileges can set up a network view that can be viewed by all ONS node users. The icon color indicates the node status.
Node is initializing for the first time. CTC displays Unknown# because CTC has not discovered the name of the node yet.
The span lines show DCC connections between the nodes. DCC connections can be green (active) or grey (fail). The lines can also be solid (circuits can be routed through this link) or dashed (circuits cannot be routed through this link).
