NTP-B191 Create an E-Series EtherSwitch Circuit (Multicard or Single-Card Mode)
Inter-domain (UCP) SLA—If the circuit will travel on a unified control plane (UCP) channel, enter
•
the service level agreement number. Otherwise, leave the field set to zero.
Protected Drops—Leave the default unchanged (unchecked).
•
If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the
Step 8
Selectors During Circuit Creation" task on page
Click Next.
Step 9
Provision the circuit source:
Step 10
From the Node drop-down menu choose one of the EtherSwitch circuit endpoint nodes. Either end
a.
node can be the EtherSwitch circuit source.
From the Slot drop-down menu choose one of the following:
b.
–
–
Click Next.
Step 11
Step 12 Provision the circuit destination:
a. From the Node drop-down menu choose the second EtherSwitch circuit endpoint node.
From the Slot drop-down menu choose one of the following:
b.
–
–
Click Next.
Step 13
In the Circuit VLAN Selection area, click New VLAN. If the desired VLAN already exists, continue
Step 14
with Step
In the New VLAN dialog box, complete the following:
Step 15
VLAN Name—Assign an easily-identifiable name to your VLAN.
•
VLAN ID—Assign a VLAN ID. The VLAN ID should be the next available number between 2 and
•
4093 that is not already assigned to an existing VLAN. Each ONS 15327 network supports a
maximum of 509 user-provisionable VLANs.
Click OK.
Step 16
In the Circuit VLAN Selection area, highlight the VLAN name and click the arrow button (>>) to move
Step 17
the available VLAN(s) to the Circuit VLANs column.
If you are building a single-card EtherSwitch circuit and want to disable spanning tree protection on this
Step 18
circuit, uncheck the Enable Spanning Tree check box and click OK on the Disabling Spanning Tree
dialog box. The Enable Spanning Tree check box will remain checked or unchecked for the creation of
the next single-card point-to-point Ethernet circuits.
Caution Disabling spanning tree protection increases the likelihood of logic loops on an Ethernet network.
Turning off spanning tree on a circuit-by-circuit basis means that the ONS 15327 is no longer protecting
Caution
the Ethernet circuit and that the circuit must be protected by another mechanism in the Ethernet network.

If you are building a multicard EtherSwitch circuit, choose Ethergroup.
If you are building a single-card EtherSwitch circuit, choose the Ethernet card where you
enabled the single-card EtherSwitch.
If you are building a multicard EtherSwitch circuit, choose Ethergroup.
If you are building a Single-card EtherSwitch circuit, choose the Ethernet card where you
