VC4/VC LO Allocation (CE-100T-8)
(Applies to the CE-100T-8 only) Use the VC4/VC LO Allocation tab to display how provisioned circuits populate the pools. Use this information to free the bandwidth required for provisioning a circuit, if there is not enough existing capacity on any one pool for provisioning the desired circuit. The CE-100T-8 card has four pools, each with a maximum capacity of three STS-1s with SONET or three VC3s with SDH. All VCAT circuit members must be from the same pool. One of the four memory pools is reserved for the low-order VCAT circuits, if sufficient bandwidth exists to support the high-order circuits on the remaining three pools. To help prevent stranding bandwidth, provision your high-order VCAT circuits first to distribute them evenly.
 
POS Port Map area
Displays the port map information.
Port—Identifies the port where a circuit is provisioned (only one circuit per port is allowed).
Allocation—Displays the number of VC4s/VC LOs used by the circuit provisioned on the port. If the circuits provisioned are LO VCAT, there is a maximum of 63 VC12s with SDH.
Pool—Identifies the pool in which the VC4s/VC LOs are categorized.
Refresh—Updates the POS Port Map area with current data.
Pool Utilization area
Displays the pool utilization information.
Pool—Identifies the pool number.
Type—Displays the type of circuit the pool currently supports (VC4 or VC LO).
Circuit Usage—Displays the maximum number of circuits per pool and the number of currently provisioned circuits per pool; for example 1 of 4. Display options are x of 4 on pools 1 and 2, and x of 3 on pool s 3 and 4. If you provision VC12 VCAT circuits on SDH, you can create four circuits if the total members between all four circuits is less than or equal to 63.
Pool Usage—Displays the maximum number of VC4 or VC LOs per pool and the number of currently provisioned VC4 or VC LOs in the pool; for example, 1 of 1 VC4s or 63 of 63 VC LOs.
Pool Available—Indicates availability of the pool for the new circuit (Yes or No).
Help—Displays context-sensitive help.
