Chapter 9 Manage Circuits
In the Summary area of the Resources Usage tab, view the following information:
Step 3
STS-1 Matrix—(XCVT and XC10G.) Provides the percent of the cross-connect card STS-1 path
•
resources that are in use. 288 STS-1 paths are available for XCVT cards; 1152 STS-1 paths are
available for XC10G cards.
VT Matrix Ports—(XCVT and XC10G.) Provides the percent of the cross-connect card VT matrix
•
ports that are in use. Each port is one STS in size, and each can transport 28 VT1.5s. 24 VT matrix
ports are available for the XCVT and XV10G cards.
VT Matrix—(XCVT and XC10G.) Provides the percent of the VT matrix resources that are in use.
•
672 are available, which is the number of VT matrix ports (24) multiplied by the number of VT1.5s
in an STS (28).
Step 4 In the VT Matrix Port Detail section, you can view details of the VT Matrix Port usage:
• Drop—Identifies the source slot, port, and STS.
Tunnel Name—VT tunnels use VT matrix ports on the tunnel source and destination nodes (VT
•
tunnels do not use matrix resources on pass-through nodes). If the port is used by a VT tunnel, the
tunnel name will appear here.
• % Used—Shows the percent of the matrix port that are in use. Each matrix port can carry 28 VT1.5s,
so for example, if one STS carries seven VT1.5 circuits, the matrix port will be 25 percent 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 in use.
Step 5 As needed, you can perform the following actions:
• Click the Refresh button to see an updated XC Resources view. For example, if other users create
circuits while you view the XC Resources tab, click Refresh to see the effects those circuits have
on the VT matrix usage.
• Click the Delete button to delete 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 VT matrix capacity.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

The Delete button requires a Superuser security level.
VT tunnels may appear as STSs with 0 percent capacity used. These cannot be deleted.
