Node-Diverse Path option:
• Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within the SNCP ring
portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse.
• Nodal Diversity Desired— Specifies that node diversity is preferred, but if node diversity is not
possible, CTC creates fiber-diverse paths for the SNCP ring portion of the complete circuit path.
Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only fiber-diverse primary and alternate paths for SNCP ring
•
portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths might be node diverse, but CTC does not
check for node diversity.

Step 16
Create VC LO tunnel on transit nodes—This option is available if the VC12 circuit passes through
•
a node that does not have a low-order tunnel, or if an existing low-order tunnel is full. Low-order
tunnels allow VC12 circuits to pass through ONS 15454 SDHs without consuming low-order
cross-connect card resources. Creating low-order tunnels is a good idea if you are creating many
low-order circuits from the same source and destination. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Reference Manual for more information.
Create VC LO aggregation point—This option is available if you are creating a VC12 circuit to an
•
STM-N port for handoff to non-ONS 15454 SDH networks or equipment, such as an IOF, switch, or
DACS. A LAP allows low-order circuits to be routed through a node using one VC4 connection on
the cross-connect card high-order matrix rather than multiple connections on the low-order matrix.
If you want to aggregate the low-order circuit you are creating with others onto a VC4 for transport
outside the ONS 15454 SDH network, choose one of the following:
–
–
None—Choose this option if you do not want to create a low-order tunnel or a LAP. This is the only
•
available option if CTC cannot create a low-order tunnel or LAP.

VC4 grooming node is source-node, VC12 grooming node is destination-node—Creates the
LAP on the VC12 circuit source node. This option is available only if the VC12 circuit
originates on an STM-N card.
VC4 grooming node is destination-node, VC12 grooming node is source-node—Creates the
LAP on the VC12 circuit destination node. This option is available only if the VC12 circuit
terminates on an STM-N card.
