Cisco Cisco ONS 15454 M2 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) Technical References

 lists the CTC-level default settings for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 M2, 

Cisco ONS 15454 M6, Cisco NCS 2002, and NCS 2006. Cisco provides the following user-configurable 
defaults for CTC:

Automatic Routing—Set circuit creation with the Route Automatically check box selected by 
default.

Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable—Set by default whether or not a user creating 
circuits can change (override) the Automatic Circuit Routing setting (also provisionable as a default) 
in the CTC Circuit Routing Preferences area. When this default is set to TRUE it enables users to 
change whether or not Route Automatically is selected in the check box. When this default is set to 
FALSE it ensures that users cannot change the Route Automatically setting while creating circuits 
in CTC.

When the Route Automatically check box is not selectable (and is not checked) during circuit 
creation, the following automatic routing suboptions are also unavailable: Using Required 
Nodes/Spans, Review Route Before Creation, and VT-DS3 Mapped Conversion.

Create TL1-like—Set whether to create only TL1-like circuits; that is, instruct the node to create 
only cross-connects, allowing the resulting circuits to be in an upgradable state.

Local domain creation and viewing—Set whether domains that users create and view persist 
globally (all CTC sessions), or only locally (within the current CTC session).

Network Map—Set the default network map (which country’s map is displayed in CTC network 
view).

This section list the default settings for each DWDM, Transponder (TXP), Muxponder (MXP), or 
Ethernet card. Cisco provides several types of user-configurable defaults for Cisco DWDM, TXP, MXP, 
and Ethernet cards. Types of card defaults can be broadly grouped by function, as outlined in the 
following subsections. For information about individual card settings, see the chapters “Provision 
Transponder and Muxponder Cards” and “Change DWDM Card Settings” in the 
Network Configuration Guide. 

When the card level defaults are changed, the new provisioning done after the defaults have changed is 
affected. Existing provisioning remains unaffected.
