4.5.2.3 Link Consolidation
CTC provides the ability to consolidate multiple data communications channel (DCC), general
communications channel (GCC), optical transport section (OTS), provisionable patchcord (PPC), and
server trail links into one or more links. Link consolidation allows you to condense multiple inter-nodal
links into a single link. The link consolidation sorts links by class, meaning that all DCC links are
consolidated together, for example.You can access individual links within consolidated links using the
right-click shortcut menu.
Each link has an associated icon (Table 4-7).
