Item
Description
Name
Displays the circuit name. To edit the name, click in the field and type the change.
Circuit Type
Displays circuit types. For the ONS 15454 SDH, types are HOP (high-order circuit), LOP (low-order circuit), VCT (VC low-order tunnel), VCA (VC low-order aggregation point), OCHNC, HOP_v (high-order VCAT circuit), or LOP_v (low-order VCAT circuit).
For the ONS 15600 SDH, the type is HOP (high-order circuit). LOP (low-order path circuit) is supported only when the ONS 15600 SDH is a pass-through node.
Circuit Size
Displays the circuit size, which depends on the source and destination card/port. For the ONS 15454 SDH, low-order circuits are VC11 (with XC-VXC-10G card only), VC12, and VC3. High-order circuit sizes are VC4, VC4-3c, VC4-4c, VC4-6c, VC4-8c, VC4-16c, and VC4-64c. OCHNC sizes are Equipped not specific, Multi-rate, 2.5 Gbps No FEC (forward error correction), 2.5 Gbps FEC, 10 Gbps No FEC, and 10 Gbps FEC. High-order VCAT circuits are VC4-nv and VC4-4c-nv and low-order VCAT circuits are VC3-nv, where n is the number of members.
For the ONS 15600 SDH, high-order circuit sizes are VC3, VC4, VC4-4c, VC4-8c, VC4-16c, or VC4-64c. ASAP optical ports also allow circuit sizes of VC4-2c and VC4-3c.
Protection Type
Displays the type of circuit protection. See Circuit Protection Types for more information about protection types and ONS nodes that support them.
Routing Preference
Displays the circuit routing parameters. See Circuit Routing Preferences for more information about routing preference types.
Show VC LO Topology
If checked, displays any low-order path tunnels that carry the low-order path circuit. If the circuit is not carried by a low-order path tunnel, no changes appear when the box is checked.
Show WDM Topology
If checked, shows the TXP and MXP connections where high-order and low-order circuits are routed. If unchecked, only the logical STM-N links are shown. This check box is available only when circuits are routed on TXP or MXP cards provisioned in section or line mode.
Show Detailed Map
If checked, displays a detailed map that allows you to open a port or create a path trace by clicking a port on the map. You can also open a node or reset the node position by clicking on a node on the map. The map shows circuit routing information including source slot, port, specific HOP, and LOP. If the IEEE 802.17 RPR mode is enabled, the port displays as pRPR East or pRPR West. The detailed view also shows working and protect circuit paths. (You cannot use Show Detailed Map for VCAT circuits, but you can use it for individual VCAT circuit members.)
