How do I create a C-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a C-Line service. The parameters that are available to you is dependant on the intent type that is associated with the service template you select, and may differ from those described in this procedure, which assumes the Nokia-provided C-Line template is being used.

Steps

Perform How do I create a service template?.

From the Service Management, Services view, click + CREATE.

The Select a service template to start form opens displaying a list of service templates.

Click on a C-Line service template from the list.

The Create Service form opens with the Template Name parameter populated.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Service Name	Specifies the name of the service. Must be unique from other services created using NSP.
NE Service ID	Specifies the NE service ID
VC Type	Specifies the virtual circuit type
MTU	Specifies the service MTU
Customer ID	Specifies the customer ID
Description	Describes the service
Admin State	Specifies the initial administrative state of the service upon deployment
Job ID	Specifies the work-order number

Continue to the Site A panel.

Configure the required parameters:

Parameter	Description
Device ID	Specifies the device identifier
Site Name	Specifies the site name
Description	Describes the site

Note: If site names and descriptions are added, these will take precedence over any service name and description specified in Step 4, with the Site A name and description taking precedence over Site B. As such, these attributes will be displayed in various locations, such as NSP's Model Driven Configurator function and NFM-P.

Click + ADD.

The Add Endpoint form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Port ID	Specifies the port identifier
Time Slots	Specifies the time slot pattern to be used
Admin State	Specifies the administrative state of the service
Description	Describes the SAP

In the CEM panel, configure the parameters as required:

Parameter	Description
RTP Header	Specifies whether or not an RTP header is used when packets are transmitted to the Packet Service Network
Payload Size	Specifies the payload size (in bytes) of packets transmitted to the Packet Service Network
Jitter Buffer	Specifies the jitter buffer size (in milliseconds)
Asymmetric Delay Control
Enable	Specifies whether or not asymmetric delay control is enabled
Samples	Specifies the number of packets that will be sampled during the sampling period
Repeat Period	Specifies the sampling period (in minutes)

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Enable QoS	Specifies whether or not QoS is enabled
Enable IP/IPv6 Filter	Specifies whether or not an IP/IPv6 filter is enabled

If QoS was enabled in Step 9, configure the parameters as required in both the ingress and egress panels:

Parameter	Description
QoS
Match QinQ Dot1p (ingress only)	Specifies the match QinQ Dot1p
QinQ Mark Top Only (egress only)	Specifies whether top Q-tags are marked
SAP Ingress
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the ingress SAP policy
Queuing Type	Specifies the ingress queuing type
SAP Egress
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the egress SAP policy
Queue (click + ADD)
Queue ID	Specifies the unique identifier for the queue
CBS	Specifies the CBS of the queue
MBS	Specifies the MBS of the queue
PIR	Specifies the PIR rate of the queue
CIR	Specifies the CIR rate of the queue
Policer (click + ADD)
Policer ID	Specifies the unique identifier for the policer
CBS	Specifies the CBS of the policer
MBS	Specifies the MBS of the policer
Policer Control Policy
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the policer control policy
Scheduler Policy
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the scheduler policy
Scheduler (click + ADD)
Scheduler Name	Specifies the name of the scheduler
PIR	Specifies the PIR rate of the scheduler
CIR	Specifies the CIR rate of the scheduler

If an IP/IPv6 filter was enabled in Step 9, configure the parameters as required in both the ingress and egress panels:

Parameter	Description
IP	Specifies the IP filter identifier
IPv6	Specifies the IPv6 filter identifier

Click ADD to add the endpoint. The Add Endpoint form closes.

Configure the PW Switching parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Primary Hub ID	Specifies the identifier of the primary hub
Secondary Hub ID	Specifies the identifier of the secondary hub

In the Site B panel, specify the Device ID, then click + ADD.

The Add Endpoint form opens.

Repeat Step 5 to Step 12 for Site B.

In the SDP Details panel, click + ADD.

The Add SDP form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Admin State	Specifies the desired state of the service SDP binding
Source Device ID	Specifies the SDP source device identifier
Destination Device ID	Specifies the SDP destination device identifier
Steering Parameter	Specifies the steering parameter used by NSP
SDP ID	Specifies the SDP identifier
Description	Describes the SDP binding
Override VC-ID	Specifies whether or not the VC-ID will serve as the NE service ID for the SDP
VC ID	Specifies the SDP virtual circuit identifier

Click ADD to add the SDP binding. The Add SDP form closes.

Perform one of the following:

Select the Reserve Resources check box and click PLAN to create the service in a Planned state.
Click SAVE to create the service in a Saved state.
Click DEPLOY to create the service in a Deployed state.
