How do I create a redundant C-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a redundant 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 redundant C-Line template is being used.

Steps
 
1 

Perform How do I create a service template?.

2 

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

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

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.

  2. Active Multipath should be enabled on an endpoint with two spokes

  3. When Active Multipath is enabled, ICB cannot be enabled

  4. When Active Multipath enabled, asymmetric-delay cannot be enabled

  5. Active Multipath is only supported on SAR devices
