This procedure creates a hub-and-spoke Ethernet configuration, which is
made up of multiple circuits that share a common endpoint. It does not
apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode.
E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-12/E100T-G, E1000-2/E1000-2-G) must
be installed at all Ethernet circuit endpoint nodes.

Circuit Type—Choose STS.
Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
Size—Choose the circuit size.
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
