Use the STS/VT Allocation subtab 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. All virtual concatenation (VCAT) circuit members must be from the same pool. One of the four memory pools is reserved for the VT VCAT circuits, if sufficient bandwidth exists to support the STS circuits on the remaining three pools. To help prevent stranding bandwidth, provision your STS VCAT circuits first to distribute them evenly. For a list of ONS nodes and cards that support this subtab, see
Maintenance.

|
|
Displays the port map information.
|
|
Identifies the port on which a circuit is provisioned (only one circuit per port is allowed).
|
|
Displays the number of STSs/VTs used by the circuit provisioned on the port. If the circuits provisioned are LO VCAT, there is a maximum of 84 VT1.5s with SONET.
|
|
Identifies the pool in which the STS/VTs are categorized. The ONS 15454 CE-100T-8 card has four pools.
|
|
Updates the table with current data.
|
|
Displays the pool utilization information.
|
|
Displays the type of circuit the pool currently supports (STS or VT).
|
|
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 pools 3 and 4.
|
|
Displays the maximum number of STSs or VTs per pool and the number of currently provisioned STSs or VTs in the pool; for example, 68 of 84 VTs.
|
|
Indicates availability of the pool for the new circuit (Yes or No).
|
|
Displays context-sensitive help.
