This procedure creates a hub-and-spoke Ethernet configuration, which is
made up of multiple circuits that share a common endpoint. It does not
apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode.
E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-G or E1000-2-G) must be installed at all
Ethernet circuit endpoint nodes.

Circuit Type—Choose VC_HO_PATH_CIRCUIT.
Number of Circuits—Leave the default (1) unchanged.
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
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.
Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid circuit sizes for a single-card EtherSwitch circuit are VC4,
VC4-2c, and VC4-4c.
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this check box if you want to create one or more
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. If you check this box, low-order
tunnels and Ethergroup sources and destinations are unavailable.
