Security Level
Note VC low-order path tunnels allow VC low-order path circuits to pass through intermediary ONS nodes
without consuming VC low-order path matrix resources on the 15310E-CTX-K9 card. VC low-order
path tunnels can carry 28 VC-12 circuits. In general, creating VC low-order path tunnels is a good idea
if you are creating many VC low-order path circuits from the same source and destination. VC low path
Tunnel can carry 21 VC12 circuits. Refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Reference Manual for more information.

Name—Assign a name to the VC low-order path tunnel. 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
tunnel.
Size—Unavailable for VC low-order path tunnels.
Bidirectional—Unavailable for VC low-order path tunnels.
State—Choose the administrative state to apply to all of the cross-connects in a circuit:
– unlocked—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service state.
locked, disabled—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the locked-enabled,disabled service state.
–
Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
– Automatic In Service—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the
unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state and suppresses alarms and conditions.
When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to
unlocked-enabled.
locked, maintenance—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the locked-enabled,maintenance
–
service state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and
conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. Use locked, maintenance for
