NTP- D54 Create an Automatically Routed Low-Order VC3 Circuit
Review the circuit route. To change the circuit routing order, choose a node from the Required
e.
Nodes/Lines or Excluded Nodes Links lists and click the Up or Down buttons to change the circuit
routing order. Click Remove to remove a node or span.
Click Next. In the VC LO Matrix Optimization page, choose one of the following:
Step 17
•
Create VC LO tunnel on transit nodes—This option is available if the VC3 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 VC3 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 VC3 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 an 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.

Click Finish. One of the following results occurs, depending on the circuit properties you chose in the
Circuit Creation dialog box:
If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and selected Auto-ranged, CTC
•
automatically creates the number of circuits entered in the Number of Circuits field. If auto-ranging
cannot complete all the circuits, for example, because sequential ports are unavailable at the source
or destination, a dialog box appears. Set the new source or destination for the remaining circuits,
then click Finish to continue auto-ranging. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window
appears.
•
If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and did not choose Auto-ranged, the
Circuit Creation dialog box appears so you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps
through
In the Circuits window, verify that the new circuits appear in the circuits list.

on an STM-N card.
