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

Click Create→Tunnel Selection Profile or select an existing tunnel selection profile and click Properties. The Tunnel Selection Profile (Create | Edit) form opens.

Configure the required parameters.

As part of the configuration of a tunnel selection profile, you need to select a transport preference. The Transport Preference panel lists all the transport types in static priority order, followed by the PBB Only transport preference option. When configuring your transport preferences, take into account the following considerations:

• You can select either transport types or the PBB Only option. If you select a transport type, the PBB Only option is disabled. If you select the PBB Only option, the transport type options are disabled.

• You need to select one transport preference to be able to create a tunnel selection profile.

• The Allow Auto Tunnel Creation option becomes active only if you selected at least one transport type that supports the automatic tunnel creation. The automatic tunnel creation depends on the support of the selected transport type by both NEs.

Note: On selection of Mixed LSP mode transport type, if multiple tunnels with mixed-mode are operationally up and available, and if Auto SDP Binding is enabled in the service, then the SDP binding association takes following precedence: RSVP, LDP, BGP. This is irrespective of LSP type selected in Tunnel Selection Profile.

When determining what tunnel to use for binding, apply the following guidelines:

• If tunnels that meet the constraints are operationally up and available, then select them in static priority order.

• If no tunnels that meet the constraints are operationally up, then select available tunnels that are operationally down.

• If there are no tunnels, then create tunnels following the static priority order.

Select an SDP binding template for the profile, if required.

Note: An SDP binding template allows the NFM-P to use the configuration information contained in the template for the automatic creation of SDP bindings.

Click on the Tunnel Admin Groups tab to assign included and excluded admin groups to the profile.

In either of Included- or Excluded-Unassigned panels, click on the admin group that you want to include in the profile, and click on the Right arrow to move the selected admin group to the Assigned panel.

You can select multiple groups by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the groups.

If required, you can move an assigned admin group to the unassigned portion of the form by selecting the group and clicking on the Left arrow.

Save your changes and close the forms.
