Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
CE-100T-8 cards—Before deleting a member of an LCAS VCAT circuit, Cisco recommends that
•
you put the member in the Locked-enabled,outOfGroup service state. If you create non-LCAS
VCAT circuits on the CE-Series card, adding members to the circuit is possible, but
service-affecting. You cannot delete members from non-LCAS VCAT circuits without affecting the
entire VCAT circuit.
CE-1000-4 and CE-MR-10 cards—You can add or delete SW-LCAS VCAT members, although it
•
might affect service. Before deleting a member, Cisco recommends that you put the member in the
Locked-enabled,outOfGroup service state. If you create non-LCAS VCAT circuits, adding and
deleting members to the circuit is possible, but service-affecting.
• FC_MR-4 (enhanced mode) card—You can add or delete SW-LCAS VCAT members, although it
might affect service. Before deleting a member, Cisco recommends that you put the member in the
Locked-enabled,outOfGroup service state. You cannot add or delete members from VCAT circuits
without SW-LCAS.
FC_MR-4 (line rate mode) card—All VCAT circuits using FC_MR-4 (line rate mode) cards have a
•
fixed number of members; you cannot add or delete members.
ML-Series card—All VCAT circuits using ML-Series cards have a fixed number of members; you
•
cannot add or delete members.
