Resource Usage
Use the Cross-Connect > Resource Usage subtab to view the percentage of cross-connect card resources that the circuits use to traverse or terminate on an ONS node.
 
Item
Description
Summary
Provides an overview of the cross-connect card usage:
 •
STS-1 Matrix—Provides the percentage of the cross-connect card STS-1 path resources that are used.
 •
VT2 Matrix Ports—(XC-VXC-10G cards only)—Provides the percentage of the cross-connect card Virtual Tributary (VT2) matrix ports that are used.
 •
VT2 Matrix—(XC-VXC-10G cards only)—Provides the percentage of the VT2 matrix resources that are used.
 •
VT1.5 Matrix Ports—Provides the percentage of the cross-connect card Virtual Tributary (VT1.5) matrix ports that are used.
 •
VT1.5 Matrix—Provides the percentage of the VT1.5 matrix resources that are used.
VT Matrix Port Detail
Provides details of the VT Matrix Port usage. For XC-VXC-10G cards, click VT1.5 or VT2 to view the matrix port details.
 •
Drop—Identifies the source slot, port, and STS.
 •
Tunnel Name—If VT tunnel uses a port, the tunnel name appears here. VT tunnels use VT matrix ports on the tunnel source and destination nodes, but do not use matrix resources on pass-through nodes.
 •
% Used—Shows the percentage of the matrix port that is used.
 •
Usage—Shows the port usage. For example, if one STS carries seven VT1.5 circuits, the matrix port will show that 7 of 28 are used.
Refresh
Updates the XC resources display.
Delete
Deletes STSs that use VT matrix resources but no longer carry VT circuits. This occasionally occurs when many VT circuits are added and deleted over a period of time. Stranded STSs appear as STSs with 0 percent usage in the VT Matrix Port Detail area. If stranded STSs appear, click the STS, then click Delete to free up VT matrix capacity.
