To copy or move L2 access interface SAPs between services

Before you begin

You can move L2 access interface SAPs between VPLS, MVPLS and VLL services.

Note the following:

  • You can move the source SAP only to another service, and not within the same service. You cannot move the source SAP to a different site; it can be moved only to a different service on the same site.

  • The source and destination service types must be the same. The source and destination site types (Site, B-Site or I-Site) must be the same.

  • The source and destination services must have the same Customer ID.

VPLS L2 access interfaces can be used for MSAPs, access interfaces for SPB in control mode, and throughput tests. When you move an L2 interface, the NFM-P deletes the SAP from the source site. The NFM-P does not check that the source site has consistent configuration after the move, and for example, a throughput test might reference nonexistent SAPs.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Services→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

2 

Choose a VPLS, MVPLS, or VLL service and click Properties. The Service_Type Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service tree, expand Sites→Site→L2 Access Interfaces.

4 

Right-click on the L2 access interface that you want to move and choose Move to Another Service. The Select Services form opens with a list of eligible target services.

5 

Select a service. The NFM-P moves the L2 access interface SAP to the selected service and removes the service from the from the source service.

6 

Close the forms.
