Description

Summary

Provides an overview of the cross-connect card (XC10G, XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G) usage:

    • VC4 Matrix: (XC10G, XC-VXL-10G, and XC-VXL-2.5G cards) Provides the percent of VC4 paths and VC4s dropped to lower order paths that are in use. The 384 VC4s are available with XC10G and XCVXL 10G cross-connect cards; 192 VC4s are available with XC-VXL-2.5G cards.

    • TUG3 Matrix Ports: (XC-VXL-10G and XC-VXL-2.5G only.) Provides the percent of the cross-connect card TUG3 matrix ports that are in use. TUG3 matrix ports are the number of VC4s that are dropped to lower order paths (using TUG3s to hold VC3s and TUG2s) shown in VC4 size. 384 TUG3 matrix ports are available.

    • TUG3 Matrix: (XC-VXL-10G and XC-VXL-2.5G only.) Provides the percent of the TUG-3 matrix resources that are in use. 384 TUG-3 paths are available.

    • VC12 Matrix Ports: (XC-VXL-10G and XC-VXL-2.5G only.) Provides the percent of the VC12 matrix ports that are in use. VC12 matrix ports are the number of TUG3s used to support TUG2s (that is, VC11s and VC12s, though only VC12s are supported in this release). 96 VC12 matrix ports are available.

    • VC12 Matrix: (XC-VXL-10G and XC-VXL-2.5G only.) Provides the percent of the VC12 matrix resources that are in use. 2016 VC12 paths are available.

TUG3 Matrix Port Detail

Provides details of the TUG3 Matrix Port usage:

  • Drop: Identifies the source slot and port.

  • Tunnel Name: If the port is used by a tunnel, the tunnel name appears here.

  • % Used: Shows the percentage of the matrix port that is used.

  • Usage: Shows the port usage.

Refresh

Updates the XC resources display.

Delete

Deletes VC12s or VC3s that use matrix resources but no longer carry circuits. This occasionally occurs when many circuits are added and deleted over a period of time. Stranded VC12s or VC3s appear with 0 percent usage in the TUG3 Matrix Port Detail area. If stranded VC12s or VC3s appear, click the VC, then click Delete to free matrix capacity.
