The ONS 15600 SDH supports 1+1 protection to create redundancy for optical ports. Protect ports must match the working ports. For example, port 1 on an STM-16 card can be protected by port 1 on another STM-16 card or another port on the same card.
2.1.13.7 Autodiscovery
The ONS 15600 SDH supports automatic discovery of connected elements. CTM can connect to one node and retrieve information about all connected nodes. The first time CTM connects to a node, it retrieves only the IP address of the connected node; CTM does not retrieve the node name, even though CTM has to report this element to the user. Because the IP address is unique, CTM uses the NE IP address as the name of the newly discovered element. An Object Creation Event is generated for this managed element with the IP address as the name. Later, CTM connects to this element and retrieves all information, including the actual name, and an AVC Event is generated for the managed element name. The NMS should listen to AVC Event for the managed element name and invoke managedElementManager::ManagedElementManager_I::getManagedElement.
2.1.14 Cisco ONS 15800-, ONS 15801-, and ONS 15808-Specific Details
CTM R5.0 supports the following ONS 15800 releases:

2.1.14.4 Topological Link
All topological links are unidirectional for ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 NEs. Links between ONS 15454 DWDM and ONS 15800 or ONS 15801 demultiplexer cards are bidirectional. Links involving an ONS 15808 BT10E or ONS 15808 BT10G card are also bidirectional.
2.1.14.5 Physical Termination Point
All PTPs are unidirectional for ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 NEs. There are four types of PTPs:
•
•
•
•
A topological link starts in a "source" PTP and ends in a "sink" PTP. PTPs bordering the same link have the same direction (east-to-west or west-to-east).
For the ONS 15800 and ONS 15801, links can be established between PTPs supported by following modules:
•
•
For the ONS 15808, each terminal site supports a maximum of two links in opposite directions. All other ONS 15808 sites support a maximum of four links (two east-to-west and two west-to-east). Links can be established between PTPs supported by BCS-LH and BCS-ELH modules. Transponder modules export PTPs that support the creation of OCH links. Mux and demux modules export PTPs that support the creation of OCH links.
2.1.14.6 Connection Termination Point
CTPs for the ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 are not supported in this release of GateWay/CORBA.
2.1.14.7 Subnetwork Connection
SNCs for the ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 are not supported in this release of GateWay/CORBA.
2.1.15 Unmanaged NEs
Unmanaged NEs are other vendor MEs in CTM. There is no equipment for these NEs. CTM will report PTPs for unmanaged NEs only if there is a topological link originating or terminating on the unmanaged NE. There are no reported alarms on unmanaged NEs.
2.2 CTM-Specific Details
2.2.1 Layer Rates
CTM R5.0 supports the following layer rates. Layer rates numbered 0 to 91 are TMF-defined, and layer rates numbered 92 to 106 are CTM-defined.

2.2.2 Inventory
The ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15501, ONS 15530, ONS 15540, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH are single-shelf NEs. In the future they might be expanded to multishelf, multibay NEs. Considering this, CTM always reports rack = 1 and shelf =1 for ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15501, ONS 15530, ONS 15540, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH inventory. This implementation allows CTM to accommodate future changes quickly.
For the ONS 15454 SDH, the EFCA shelf and the main shelf are considered to be a single logical shelf with slots numbering from 1 to 29.
CTM reports rack = 1 and shelf = 1 for ONS 15216 NEs. For the ONS 15216 DCU, CTM reports the DCU chassis as the shelf, two slots as equipment holders contained by the shelf, and the DCM module as the equipment under the shelf. For the ONS 15216 UniDirectional Filter (UDF), CTM reports the UDF chassis as the shelf. CTM reports four slots as equipment holders contained by the shelf. Any provisioned module will be reported as equipment under the slot. For the remaining ONS 15216 NEs, CTM reports only one equipment under shelf. The equipment name is the same as the NE name.
For some supported NEs, equipment does not fit in the normal equipmentHolders (rack, shelf, slot, and so on) and does not have provisioning functions. For inventory purposes, CTM defines a special EquipmentHolder named AdditionalHolder to hold this equipment.
For the ONS 15454 SONET R3.4 or later, the Alarm Interface Extension (AIE) is reported in AdditionalHolder 1 (if installed). The Alarm Extension Panel (AEP) is reported in AdditionalHolder 2.
For the ONS 15454 SDH R3.4 or later, the AIE is reported in AdditionalHolder 1 (if installed).
For unmanaged NEs, CTM reports only ManagedElement. CTM does not report any equipment holders or equipment.

2.2.4 Object Details
2.2.4.1 MultiLayer Subnetwork
A subnetwork is a collection of managed elements that reflects network connectivity, in most cases. There are two ways to create a new subnetwork through the CTM client:
1.
2.
There are four ways to add NEs to subnetworks:
1.
2.
3.
4.
SNC creation is limited within a MultiLayerSubnetwork scope. For example, assume Subnetwork-001 contains two NEs, A and B, that are connected to each other with an autodiscovered link. Subnetwork-002 contains two NEs, C and D, that are connected to each other with an autodiscovered link. There is also a manual link between NEs B and C, and the use-for-routing attribute for the link is set to true by CTM. To create an SNC between NEs A and D, you must move NEs C and D into Subnetwork-00000001, or move NEs A and B into Subnetwork-00000002.
CTM R5.0 includes a new feature to automatically group NEs in subnetworks. This feature is enabled by default. If a routable link is created between two NEs in different subnetworks and CTM decides to merge the two subnetworks, the result is reflected in CTM GateWay/CORBA. In the example used above, the two subnetworks are automatically merged when this feature is enabled in CTM.
2.2.4.2 Subnetwork Connection
SNC is supported only for ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH NEs. CTM does not support SNC in a pending state. However, CTM SNC has a proprietary deleting state.
2.2.4.3 AVC Events
In certain situations, CTM cannot provide the list of changed object attributes. In this case, CTM generates an AVC event with an empty attribute list. The NMS must retrieve the object details by making an explicit get call.
2.2.4.4 Managed Element and Object Creation Event
You can use the CTM client to add new managed elements. If the name of the new element is incorrect, an Object Creation event is generated with the incorrect name. Later, when CTM connects to the actual NE, it retrieves the correct name. CTM generates an AVC Event to notify the NMS.
2.2.4.5 Source of Object Attributes
This section lists the attributes of objects that CTM GateWay/CORBA reports. Each attribute is a constant value or is retrieved from the cache or from the NE. The term cache refers to "in-memory" and includes the CTM database repository and configuration files. CTM relies on notifications from the NE to update the value of these attributes.

2.2.5 Naming Conventions
The following sections describe naming conventions for objects that CTM reports.
2.2.5.1 MultiLayerSubnetwork
Name is defined by the user in the CTM client. If the user does not specify a name, CTM assigns a default name.
2.2.5.2 ManagedElement
Name is reported by ManagedElement.
2.2.5.3 Physical Termination Point
The PTP name represents the position of the PTP with respect to the equipment. For example, port number 4 on the equipment in slot 15 is reported as /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=4. This PTP naming convention will be used to represent the front Ethernet ports for the ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH ML-series cards. The back Ethernet ports will be reported as FTPs.
For ONS 15600, ASAP card on slot 3, port 1 on PPM 3 and PIM 2 will be reported as /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=3/sub_slot=2/ppm_holder=3/port=1.
Similarly, for the ONS 15310 CL, a port on PPM 2 will be referred as /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=2/ppm_holder=2/port=4.
For ONS 15501, ONS 15530, and ONS 15540 NEs, the PTP name represents the position of the PTP with respect to the equipment. It also specifies the cliName, because more than one interface type could have the same physical position. Numbering for equipmentHolders and ports starts from 0 in the NE. However, the TMF convention is to start numbering from 1 for equipmentHolders and ports. Therefore, CTM does translation when reporting PTP names.
For example, wavepatch0/0/0 (which is present in slot 1, subslot 1) is reported as /rack=1,/shelf=1/slot=1/subslot=1/port=1:wavepatch0/0/0.
Transparent0/0/0 (which is also present in slot 1, subslot 1) is reported as /rack=1,/shelf=1,slot=1,subslot=1,port=1:transparent0/0/0.
Some PTPs such as wdm0/0 do not have an associated port number. In these cases the port number is set to 1.
Wdm0/0 present in slot 0 and subslot 0 is reported as /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=1/subslot=1/port=1:wdm0/0.
Because the subslot does not apply to the Wave0 interface present on slot 0, it is reported as /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=1/port=1:Wave0.
In-Port present on chassis is reported as rack=1/shelf=1/port=1:In-Port.
For the ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808, the PTP name represents the position of the PTP with respect to the equipment, where the physical location is composed of rack/shelf/slot. It also specifies the direction since there can be more than one PTP with the same physical position:
/rack=1/shelf=1/slot=13:0Subslot and port are not significant for ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 equipment. The direction can assume the following values:
•
•
•
•
For unmanaged NE, the PTP nativeName is a free-format string.
2.2.5.4 Connection Termination Point
Naming convention rules for SONET, SDH, and plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) CTP are defined by TMF 814 in a document named objectNaming.html. CTM follows these rules.
For OC-N or STM-N cards on ONS 15454 SONET release 3.2.1 or later, ONS 15327 release 3.3 or later, and ONS 15454 SDH release 3.3 or later, CTM supports STS6c, STS9c, and STS24c layer rates. On ONS 15327 release 5.0 or later, ONS 15454 SONET release 5.0 or later, and ONS 15454 SDH 5.0 or later, CTM supports STS18c and STS36c layer rates. These are not conventional SONET/SDH rates; therefore, the TMF document does not cover their naming. Table 2-25 shows the CTM naming conventions for STS6c, STS9c, STS24c, STS18c, and STS36c layer rates.
The number after `-r' is the remainder difference between the STS/VC4# and the previous edge STS/VC4#.
In addition, the following CTP name support has been added:
For CTPs used for WDM SNCs, use the naming convention defined in TMF: /frequency=nnn.mm, where nnn.mm is a decimal representing the frequency in terahertz (THz).
For unidirectional CTP, the naming convention is to add "/direction=src or sink" in front of the name. Because the CTPs in WDM SNC are all unidirectional, the name will be "/direction=src or sink/frequency=nnn.mm" for WDM SNC CTPs.
Since the CTM client uses wavelength to represent an optical channel, enter the corresponding wavelength value in the nativeEMSName field for the CTP.
The formula for converting wavelength to frequency is:
frequency (THz) = 299792458 / wavelength (nm) / 1000
The formula for converting frequency back to wavelength is:
wavelength (nm) = 299792458 / frequency (THz) / 1000
The possible values of the frequency nnn.mm (in THz) in the CTP and the corresponding wavelength values are:
195.90(1530.33), 195.80(1531.12), 195.70(1531.90), 195.60(1532.68), 195.40(1534.25), 195.30(1535.04), 195.20(1535.82), 195.10(1536.61), 194.90(1538.19), 194.80(1538.98), 194.70(1539.77), 194.60(1540.56), 194.40(1542.14), 194.30(1542.94), 194.20(1543.73), 194.10(1544.53), 193.90(1546.12), 193.80(1546.92), 193.70(1547.72), 193.60(1548.51), 193.40(1550.12), 193.30(1550.92), 193.20(1551.72), 193.10(1552.52), 192.90(1554.13), 192.80(1554.94), 192.70(1555.75), 192.60(1556.55), 192.40(1558.17), 192.30(1558.98), 192.20(1559.79), 192.10(1560.61)
2.2.5.5 Floating Termination Point
The FTP naming contains three tuples. The first tuple is the EMS name, the second tuple is the ME name, and the third tuple is the FTP name. The value of the name field in the third tuple is "FTP." The native name of FTP is a free-formatted string. However, CTM GateWay/CORBA follows the convention for PTP and CTP, if applicable.
In CTM R5.0, all Ethernet TPs for circuit provisioning on E-series, G-series, ML-series, FC_MR-4, CE-100T-8, and ML-100T-8 cards are modeled as FTPs. The convention for the FTP values for Ethernet TPs is as follows:

2.2.5.6.14 Unmanaged NE
Unmanaged NEs do not report any equipment.
2.2.5.7 Boolean Mapping
The following Boolean parameters apply:
•
•
2.2.5.8 Resource Cleanup
Many TMF interfaces that CTM implements return iterator objects for large volumes of data. These iterators are allocated CTM resources. CTM supports a maximum of 128 iterators. If the iterator limit is reached, the NMS receives an EXCPT_TOO_MANY_OPEN_ITERATORS exception.
CTM, by default, cleans up all the iterator objects if they are not accessed in a time interval of six hours.
2.2.5.9 Development Environment
CTM GateWay/CORBA has been developed with Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4.2 and JacORB object request broker (ORB) 1.4 on Sun Solaris 2.8. JacORB1.4 is portable object adapter (POA)-based and ORB-compliant with the CORBA 2.3 specification. You can use Java or the C++ IDL compiler to compile IDL files.
Note
2.2.5.10 Exception Handling
All interfaces implemented by CTM GateWay/CORBA raise the exception globaldefs::ProcessingFailureException. The following sections discuss each exception type in detail.
2.2.5.10.1 EXCPT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
This exception indicates whether some IDL operations are optional or are not implemented in this release. If the operation itself is not supported, the errorReason is an empty string.
2.2.5.10.2 EXCPT_INTERNAL_ERROR
This exception indicates an internal EMS error and applies to all methods.
2.2.5.10.3 EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT
This exception indicates an incorrect parameter format, such as a three-level namingAttribute termination point (TP) name that is passed as a single-level name. If a parameter is out of range, this exception is also used. The reason field contains the incorrect parameter.
2.2.5.10.4 EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND
This exception indicates that the NMS has supplied an object name as a parameter to an operation and the EMS cannot find the object with the given name. The reason field contains the name that was passed as a parameter.
2.2.5.10.5 EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY
This exception is used as a generic value when a server cannot respond to the request.
2.2.5.10.6 EXCPT_NE_COMM_LOSS
This exception is used as a generic value when a server cannot communicate with the NE, preventing the successful completion of the operation. All operations that involve communication with the NE might return this exception type.
2.2.5.10.7 EXCPT_ACCESS_DENIED
This exception indicates that an operation has resulted in a security violation. Verify that you have the required access to invoke the operation.
2.2.5.10.8 EXCPT_TOO_MANY_OPEN_ITERATORS
This exception indicates that the EMS has exceeded the number of iterators it can support. CTM supports 128 iterators. If you receive this exception, it is possible that other sessions are retrieving data in large volume. Wait several minutes; then, retry. Alternately, close other sessions. To avoid this exception, the NMS must invoke the destroy method on iterators.
2.2.5.10.9 EXCPT_USERLABEL_IN_USE
This exception indicates that the userLabel uniqueness constraint cannot be met.
2.2.6 EquipmentHolder
The TMF defines the EquipmentHolder naming convention. Numbering is done from left to right and from top to bottom. For example, slot 15 is named /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15.
For ONS 15501, ONS 15540, and ONS 15530 NEs, the numbering for equipmentHolders starts from 0 in the NE. The TMF convention is to start numbering from 1 for equipmentHolders. CTM does translation when reporting EquipmentHolder names.
For example, subslot 1 in slot 0 in the NE is named /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=1/sub_slot=2.
For the ONS 15501, ONS 15540, and ONS 15530, there is a new equipment holder called a port_holder. The port_holder holds the transceiver modules that contain PTPs. A port_holder in subslot 1, slot 0 in the NE is named /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=1/sub_slot=2/port_holder=1.
A port_holder in slot 1 in the NE is named rack=1/shelf=1/slot=2/port_holder=1.
For ONS 15600 NE and ASAP cards, PIM present in slot 3 will be named rack=1/shelf=1/slot=3/sub_slot=1 and PPM present in PIM 3 in slot 2 will be named rack=1/shelf=1/slot=2/sub_slot=3/ppm_holder=1.
For AdditionalHolder, the naming convention is defined as /additionalHolder=1. There is no subholder for additionalHolder.
2.2.6.1 TopologicalLink
CTM discovers topological links and assigns a name with the following default format:
MENameA:slot number/port number-MENameB: slot number/port numberInteger values are used for slot and port number. You can use the CTM client to change the link name.
For the ONS 15501, ONS 15530 and ONS 15540, the TopologicalLink name has the following format:
MENameA:InterfaceType/slot number/subslot number [/port number]-MENameB:InterfaceType/slot number/subslot number[/port number]The port number is optional.
For example:
NE540A:Wdm0/0--NE540B:Wdm1/0NE540A:Wavepatch10/1/0--NE540A:Filter0/3/1CTM reports two TopologicalLinks for a Y-Cable link. Both TopologicalLinks have the same nativeEMSName, but different values in the second tuple of the TopologicalLink name. The names "<nativeEMSName>:::1" and "<nativeEMSName>:::2" identify the two legs of the Y-Cable link.
2.2.6.2 Protection Group
The protection group name reported by the NE is used as the PGP native name for 1_FOR_N and 1_PLUS_1 protection groups. The Ring ID is used as the PGP native name for 2_FIBER_BLSR and 4_FIBER_BLSR protection groups. The Ring Name is used instead of the Ring ID in this release. "-EAST" and "-WEST" are used as the native names for the two component groups of 4_FIBER_BLSR PGP.
2.2.6.3 L2 Topology
L2 topology represents a point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, or Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) Layer 2 network topology. These topologies exist over the underlying Layer 1 topology, which are formed by physical Topological Links. Each L2 topology name is identified in the context of a EMS and has two tuples. The first tuple represents the EMS name, and the second tuple represents the nativeEMSName of the L2Topology. The L2Topology name is unique within an EMS. Each L2 Topology can be associated with multiple MLVlans.
2.2.6.4 MLVLAN
Each MLVlan is associated with a L2Topology and is unique for a given L2Topology. The fully qualified MLVlan name is identified by three tuples. The first tuple represents the EMS name, the second tuple represents the L2Topology name, and the last tuple represents the nativeEMSName of the MLVlan (which is the VLAN ID). A maximum of 255 MLVlans can be created per L2Topology, ranging from 1 to 4095.
2.2.6.5 QoS Template
QoS template is defined in the scope of the EMS domain. The fully qualified QoS template name is identified by two tuples. The first tuple represents the EMS name and the second tuple represents the QoS template name.
2.2.6.6 VCAT
The fully qualified VCAT name is identified by two tuples. The first tuple represents the EMS name and the second tuple represents the VCAT name, which is the same as the nativeEMSName of the VCAT.
2.2.7 Provisioning Subnetwork Connections
SNC provisioning must be within a MultiLayerSubnetwork scope, which means the aEnd and the zEnd of an SNC must be in the same MultiLayerSubnetwork.
CTM defines the method multiLayerSubnetwork::MultiLayerSubnetworkMgr_I::createAndActivateSNCFromUserLabel for SNC provisioning.
See the "Naming Conventions" section for naming convention information.
2.2.7.1 SNC Provisioning on OC-N or DC-N Equipment
CTM supports SNC provisioning on OC-N and DC-N cards for ONS 15310, ONS15327, ONS15454 SONET, ONS15454 SDH, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS15600 SDH NEs. CTPs are used as the end points to create the SNC.
2.2.7.2 SNC Provisioning on Ethernet Equipment
The ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, and ONS 15454 SDH network elements support Ethernet equipment. SNC can be created on these NEs to carry Ethernet traffic. The TMF standard supports only SONET, SDH, DWDM, and ATM; it does not support Ethernet at this time.
Creating SNC provisioning on E-series, G-series, and ML-series equipment supported by ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, and ONS 15327 is different from creating SNC on SONET or PDH equipment. For SNCs on Ethernet equipment, CTM uses FTP to model the end point.
The three modes supported for SNC provisioning on Ethernet equipment are:
•
•
•
To get available source and destination FTPs for SNC provisioning, use the methods managedElementManager::ManagedElementManager_I::getAllSrcFTPsForSNCProvisioning and managedElementManager::ManagedElementManager_I::getAllDestFTPsForSNCProvisioning.
2.2.7.2.1 Single-Card and Multi-Card Modes
By default, all E-series cards are in the multi-card mode EtherSwitch group. Each node has only one multi-card mode EtherSwitch group; the group exists even if the node has no Ethernet cards. To create SNC in multi-card mode, both aEnd and zEnd must be in the multi-card EtherSwitch group.
A single-card EtherSwitch group can exist only if a node has at least one Ethernet card. To create SNC in single-card mode, one end can be OCn CTP. You must create bidirectional SNC.
The following table shows the maximum bandwidth allowed for single-card EtherSwitches and multi-card EtherSwitches:
2.2.7.2.2 Linear-Card Mode
You can apply linear-card mode SNC provisioning to all types of Ethernet cards. One end of the SNC must be an FTP; the other end can be a CTP on any OCn port, or an FTP. The FTPs must use linear-mode naming conventions.
Only single source and single destination are supported for the SNC creation, and the SNC must be bidirectional.
For E-series and G-series cards, the port number in the FTP name is the number of the front Ethernet port. For ML-series cards, the port number is the number of the virtual back-end port.
2.2.7.2.3 Layer Rates
CTM supports the following layer rates for E-series cards:
•
•
•
•
CTM supports the following layer rates for G-series cards:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
CTM supports the following layer rates for ML-series cards:
•
•
•
•
•
•
CTM supports the following layer rates for FC_MR-4 cards:
•
•
CTM supports the following layer rates for the CE-100T-8 and ML-100T-8 cards
•
2.2.7.3 Tunnel SNC Provisioning
CTM supports tunnel SNC provisioning on ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, and ONS 15454 SDH NEs. The tunnel circuit must be bidirectional.
The tunnel SNC for the ONS 15310, ONS 15327, and ONS15454 SONET is called VTTunnel, and the layer rate must be 14 (LR_STS1_and_AU3_High_Order_VC3). The tunnel SNC for the ONS 15454 SDH is called VCTunnel, and the layer rate must be 15 (LR_STS3c_and_AU4_VC4). The TerminationPoints used in the provisioning are modeled as TunnelCircuitTP, which is a subclass of FTP.
The following table shows tunnel SNC provisioning details for ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, and ONS 15454 SDH NEs:
Note
Note
For VCTunnel for VC3 port grouping SNC provisioning, if the source or destination end is an STM-N card, it is modeled as CTP, and if the source or destination end is on an E3, DS3I, or DS3IN card, it is modeled as FTP.
The following table shows the combinations of cards you can select for creating the VC4 Tunnel for VC3 Port Grouping circuits:
When VCTunnel for VC3 port grouping SNC provisioning is complete:
•
•
Deleting one PGC SNC results in the deletion of all four SNCs. You cannot delete a PGT SNC if any PGC SNCs exist.
2.2.7.4 SNC Provisioning on WDM Equipment
CTM supports Optical Channel Network Connection (OCHNC) circuit provisioning on some of the WDM cards for ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH NEs. We will refer to them as WDM SNC. The WDM SNC is created on a particular wavelength channel with a direction of either east-to-west or west-to-east. The WDM SNCs are basically unidirectional. CTM GateWay/CORBA supports the creation of bidirectional OCHNC circuits on NE releases 5.0 and later. You can also create two unidirectional OCHNC circuits on the same frequency, one west-to-east and one east-to-west.
The CTPs used in the WDM SNC are different from the CTPs used in SONET/SDH SNCs in terms of naming and nature. See Connection Termination Point for the CTP naming conventions. The layer rate for the CTPs and WDM SNC must be LR_Optical_Channel.
The OCHNC size is "Equipped not specific."
To create a bidirectional OCHNC you must specify all four CTPs (which are source, destination, secondary source, and secondary destination in the API). The secondary source/destination must be the CTPs in the opposite direction: If the circuit is from node A to B, the secondary source is on node B, and the secondary destination is on node A. You can specify four possible directions:
•
•
•
•
2.2.7.5 Low Order Circuit Provisioning using VAP/LAP
CTM supports low-order circuit provisioning using VAP circuits on ONS 15310, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 SONET NEs and LAP circuits on ONS 15454 SDH NEs. The VAP/LAP circuits have to be bidirectional.
When provisioning VAP/LAP circuits, the source will be treated as STS grooming end and the destination will be treated as VT grooming end and will be later used to hook up VT circuits.
The source is a CTP and the destination is an FTP. For information about the CTP and FTP naming conventions, see the "Connection Termination Point" section and "Floating Termination Point" section.
