To configure an Ethernet tunnel
Purpose
Use this procedure to configure an Ethernet tunnel. Before you can create an Ethernet tunnel, you must configure an Ethernet tunnel endpoint. See To configure an Ethernet tunnel endpoint .
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Service Tunnels from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Service Tunnels form opens. |
2 |
Click Create→Ethernet Tunnel or select an existing Ethernet tunnel and click Properties. The Ethernet Tunnel (Create|Edit) form opens. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. The Access Adapt QoS, Enable Per Forwarding Path Ingress Queue, and Operational Path Endpoint Threshold parameters are only displayed when the Protection Type parameter is set to Load Sharing. |
4 |
Automatically configure a CFM MEG on an Ethernet tunnel path and MEPs for each Ethernet tunnel path endpoint. Perform the following steps:
|
5 |
Click on the Apply button. The Ethernet Tunnel form refreshes with additional tabs displayed. |
6 |
Click on the Components tab. |
7 |
Right-click on the Tunnel Endpoints object and choose one of the following:
|
8 |
Right click on the Paths object and choose Create Ethernet Path. The Ethernet Path (Create) form opens. |
9 |
Configure the required parameters. |
10 |
Click on the Endpoints tab. Perform one of the following:
|
11 |
Click on the Intermediate Services tab to view and specify the intermediate services for the Ethernet path. The services that you add to the list (or that already appear there) are in the order of proceeding from Endpoint A to Endpoint B. Perform the following to add an intermediate service: Perform the following steps:
|
12 |
Click on the CFM Continuity Check tab to configure a CFM Continuity Check test for each path. You must complete the following steps before selecting a test:
|
13 |
In the CFM Test panel, select a CFM test. |
14 |
Perform one of the following:
|
15 |
If required, click on the MEP tab to display the MEP form and select the check box to configure the Control MEP parameter. |
16 |
Save your changes and close the form. |
17 |
If the Protection Type parameter was set to G8031 1:1 in Step 3 , repeat Step 8 to Step 16 for the other path. If the Protection Type parameter was set to Load Sharing in Step 3 , repeat Step 8 to Step 16 for all paths. |
18 |
Click Apply. The Path Id, Operational State, and CC Protocol State parameters are updated and the path endpoints with this specific configuration are sent to the NEs. The CC protocol state appears under the global path (in the navigation tree and on the CFM Continuity Check form). The CC protocol state displays the state of the continuity check protocol running between the MEPs of the two endpoints of the path. |

Save your changes and close the form. End of steps |
