How do I create an EVPN E-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create an EVPN E-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 EVPN E-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 an EVPN E-Line service template from the list.

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.
