This procedure creates a multicard or single-card EtherSwitch circuit. It
does not apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode. To create a
port-mapped mode circuit, see the
E-Series Card in Port-Mapped Mode, page
E-Series Ethernet cards must be installed at each end of the Ethernet
circuit.

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.
Type—Choose STS.
Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid circuit sizes for an Ethernet multicard circuit are STS-1 and
STS-3c. Valid circuit sizes for an Ethernet single-card circuit are STS-1, STS-3c, STS6c, and
STS12c.
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
Number of circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
State—Choose IS (in service). Ethergroup circuits are always in service.
Apply to drop ports—Uncheck this check box.
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this check box; it does not apply to Ethernet
circuits.
