Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity is preferred, but if node diversity is not
possible, CTC creates fiber-diverse paths for the path protection portion of the complete circuit path.
Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only fiber-diverse primary and alternate paths for path
protection portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths might be node-diverse, but
CTC does not check for node diversity.
Click Next.
Review the circuit route. To add or delete a circuit span, choose a node on the circuit route. Blue
arrows show the circuit route. Green arrows indicate spans that you can add. Click a span arrowhead,
then click Include to include the span or Remove to remove the span.
If the provisioned circuit does not reflect the routing and configuration you want, click Back to
verify and change circuit information.
This task switches all circuits on a path protection span to another span.
