Defines the circuit type:
• |
VC_HO_Path_Circuit —On the ONS 15454 SDH, creates a specific high-order path (VC4 or VC4 concatenated) circuit. On the ONS 15600 SDH, creates creates a specific high-order path (VC3, VC4, or VC4 concatenated) circuit. |
• |
VC_LO_Path_Circuit —On the ONS 15454 SDH, creates a low-order path (VC3, VC11 [with XC-VXC-10G card only], or VC12) circuit. On the ONS 15600 SDH, low-order paths are supported only for pass-through nodes. |
• |
VC_LO_Path_Tunnel —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a VC low-order path tunnel. VC low-order path tunnels allow VC3, VC11 (with XC-VXC-10G card only), and VC12 circuits to pass through an ONS node without using low-order cross-connect resources on the cross-connect cards. Low-order circuits using tunnels use low-order cross-connect capacity only at the source and destination nodes. One low-order tunnel can carry three VC3s, and each VC3 can contain a VC3 circuit span, 28 VC11 circuit spans, or 21 VC12 circuit spans. |
• |
VC_LO_Path_Aggregation —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a low-order aggregation point (LAP). LAPs allow low-order VC12, VC11 (with XC-VXC-10G card only), and VC3 circuits to be aggregated into a VC4 for handoff to non-ONS 15454 SDH networks or equipment, such as interoffice facilities (IOFs), switches, or digital access cross-connect systems (DACS). The VC4 grooming end of the LAP requires an STM-N card. LAPs can be created on MS-SPRings, 1+1 protection groups, or unprotected nodes, but cannot be created on SNCP nodes. |
• |
VC_HO_Path_VCAT_Circuit —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a high-order path VCAT VC4 circuit. VC4-V circuits require ML-Series and FC_MR-4 cards at the circuit source and destination nodes. |
• |
VC_LO_Path_VCAT_Circuit —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a low-order path virtual concatenated VC circuit. VC-V circuits require ML-Series and FC_MR-4 cards at the circuit source and destination nodes. |
• |
OCHNC —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates an OCHNC between ONS nodes that are provisioned for DWDM. Choose this option if you want to create an OCHNC or OCHNC DCN circuit. |
• |
OCHCC —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a circuit from TXP/MXP client ports; used to manage multi-ring and meshed topologies. |
• |
OCH TRAIL —(ONS 15454 SDH only) Creates a circuit between optical trunk/client ports on DWDM nodes or between TXP/MXP trunk/client ports; used to manage multi-ring and meshed topologies. |
