Use this procedure to configure mixed wavelengths in an NCS 1010 C+L-Band network:
Create a network design. See Manually design a network using Cisco ONP.
Set the properties under the Entity Editor for different combinations of the functionalities.
For example, set the source Add/Drop Type and destination Add/Drop Type to Colored or Colorless for the C-band circuit. Set Band Type to L-band for the second circuit that is created on the same site. Both channels must add/drop on the same side or in the same direction.
You can choose any combination of colored or colorless add/drop for C-band circuits. However, for L-band circuits, colorless add/drop is the default value.
NoteWhen Scalable Upto Degree is 31, only C-band colored configuration is supported. You cannot create colorless if all colorless ports are exhausted, so a mixed configuration is not supported for Scalable Upto Degree 31.
