View circuit details

To view the attributes of a circuit i.e. the complete information of the circuit, graphical view and route details of a circuit do the following steps:

  1. Click Configuration > Layer 1 > Circuits menu and click on Manage Circuits. The Manage Circuits page is displayed.
  2. Select the desired circuit and click (View Details). Select the options as desired from following:

To view Circuit Attributes,

NOTE: Viewing circuit attributes is not allowed while the tabular view is grouped. Un-group the tabular view before performing the operation.

  1. Click Attributes. The complete information of the circuit is displayed.

  2. You can print this page in to a PDF format. Click Print (link available at top most right corner). The Print attributes page is displayed.
  3. Select Adobe PDF.
  4. Click OK and save the generated output file.

To view the route details,

Click Route Details. The route details of the circuit are displayed at the bottom of the Manage Circuits page.

Route Details Parameters

Attribute

Description

ID

Displays the ID assigned to the circuit.

Node Name

Displays the name of the node.

Node IP or Name

Displays the IP of the node.

Label

Displays the label of the node.

State

Displays the circuit state:

  • Active: Circuit provisioned on the node.
  • Partial: Some of the cross connections are pending.
  • Pending: Circuit is in planned state.
  • Orphan: Node is deleted from the EMS.
  • Conflict: If there is any conflict in the timeslots of the circuits.

This state is updated based on the SNC state of the circuit.

Mode

Displays the mode.

SW Port

Displays the source port of the work path.

SWTS

Displays the source timeslot of the work path.

SP Port

Displays the source port of the protect path.

SPTS

Displays the source timeslot of the protect path.

DW Port

Displays the destination port of the work path.

DWTS

Displays the destination timeslot of the work path.

DP Port

Displays the destination port of the protect path.

DPTS

Displays the destination timeslot of the protect path.

Capacity

Displays the capacity of the circuit.

Ems Name

Displays the name of the EMS.

To view the topology of the circuit,

  1. Click Graphical View. The graphical view of the circuit is displayed at the bottom of the Manage Circuits page.

    Graphical View of Circuits

The following table provides the icons marked in the above image of the Graphical view tab.

Show Graphical View In Topology

The option Show/Hide Labels allows the user to view:

The option Select Paths allows you to select the path type to view the circuit in the graphical view. By clicking either work path or protect path, you can view the path highlighted in pink color in the graphical view.

If you have moved the graph to different position on Graphical View window and you to move to default position then click on (Rearrange the Graph)

To view the active path click (Show Active Path from Source to Destination) icon in the Graphical View window.

The following figure displays the traffic flowing in the active work path. The active path is indicated in green color. The arrow mark in the graphical view indicates the direction of traffic flow.

Traffic Flowing in Active Path

To view the active alarms on the circuit click (Show Alarms on selected Path) icon in the Graphical View window. The Circuit Alarms page is displayed in a different browser window.

Circuit Alarms

To export the circuit information, route details, and graphical view of circuit to PDF format and save it to the local system click Export Graphical View to PDF (Export Graphical View to PDF) in the Graphical View window. Choose the location in your local PC to save the PDF.

To view the graphical view in Topology View page ensure the Topology View page is open and click (Show Graphical View In Topology) icon in the Graphical View window. Open the Topology View page The desired circuit and the nodes present in the circuit will be shown highlighted (in blue) in the Topology View page.

To view the intended paths for GMPLS ciruits, click on Show Intended Circuit icon which which shows the original assigned path. This icon is supported only for GMPLS circuits.
