To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel
Purpose
Use this procedure to create an IP/MPLS service tunnel. Before you can create an MPLS service tunnel, you must create a static LSP, dynamic LSP or segment routing TE LSP. See the following procedures:
The steps that display in the wizard will vary based on parameter selection and source NE and release.
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Service Tunnels from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Service Tunnels form opens. |
2 |
Click Create→IP/MPLS Service Tunnel (SDP). The IP/MPLS Service Tunnel (SDP) wizard opens. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. If a range policy is applied to a service tunnel, a gray text box appears beside the ID parameter to indicate that a range policy is in effect. If a format policy is applied to a service tunnel, a drop-down menu appears beside the object field during object creation to indicate that a format policy is in effect. When there is only one matching policy, the drop-down menu is dimmed. When there are multiple matching policies, use the drop-down menu to choose a policy. The sequence of the options in the drop-down menu are ordered by the policy Priority parameter. |
4 |
Click Next. The Pick Source Node step is displayed. |
5 |
Select a source site or enter its IP address. |
6 |
Click Next. The Pick Destination Node step is displayed. |
7 |
To create an SDP tunnel using MPLS-TP: Use the following steps: |
8 |
To create an SDP tunnel without MPLS-TP, enter the IP address of the destination site or select an NE. |
9 |
Click Next. The Specify Transport step is displayed. |
10 |
Perform one of the following:
|
11 |
Click Next. The Specify Class Forwarding step is displayed. |
12 |
Configure the parameters. When the Class Forwarding Capability parameter is set to Off, the existing class-forwarding configurations are removed. The Administrative State and Enforce Diff-Serv Lsp-Fc Map parameters are configurable when the Class Forwarding Capability parameter is set to On. |
13 |
Click Next. The Associate LSPs step is displayed. |
14 |
Click Add to bind an LSP to the service tunnel. The Bind LSPs to Service Tunnel form opens with the Bind LSP to Service Tunnel Stage step displayed. If no eligible LSP is available for binding to the service tunnel, the form provides actions buttons to:
|
15 |
Choose an LSP and click Finish. |
16 |
Click Close. The Bind LSPs to Service Tunnel form closes and the LSP is listed on the Create Service Tunnel (SDP) form. |
17 |
If you are enabling class-based forwarding on the LSP: Use the following steps:
|
18 |
Click Next. The Specify Transport Destination Address step is displayed. Note: This step appears if you set the Underlying Transport parameter to MPLS in Step 10 and set the Enable LDP parameter to true. |
19 |
Configure the Transport Destination Address parameter. Note: You cannot assign tunnel administrative groups to the SDP if you configure the Transport Destination Address parameter with an IPv6 address. |
20 |
Click Next. The Specify Local End IP Address step is displayed, if applicable. |
21 |
Select a virtual router or enter its IP address. |
22 |
Click Next. The Specify Hello Parameters step is displayed. |
23 |
Configure the required parameters. |
24 |
Click Next. The Specify MTU Values step is displayed. |
25 |
Configure the required parameters. |
26 |
Click Next. The Specify Metric step is displayed, if applicable. |
27 |
Configure the Metric parameter, if applicable. |
28 |
Click Next. The VC Type Related Parameters step is displayed, if applicable. |
29 |
Configure the VLAN VC Ethertype parameters. |
30 |
Click Next. The Specify Initial State step is displayed. |
31 |
Configure the Administrative parameter. |
32 |
Click Next. The Booking Factor step is displayed, if applicable. Note: This step appears if you set the Underlying Transport parameter to MPLS in Step 10 and set the Ldp Enabled parameter to false. |
33 |
Configure the SDP Bandwidth Booking Factor (%) parameter, if required. |
34 |
Click Next. The Associate Service step is displayed. |
35 |
Select a service. |
36 |
Click Next. The Tunnel Admin Groups step is displayed. |
37 |
Select the tunnel administrative groups in the Unassigned list that you want to assign to the tunnel and click the right arrow to move them into the Assigned list. Note: You cannot assign tunnel administrative groups to the SDP if you configured the Transport Destination Address parameter with an IPv6 address in Step 19 . |
38 |
Click Next. The Network Domain step is displayed. |
39 |
Select a network domain. Note: All SDPs are associated with a network domain. This association is done during the creation or when editing an SDP in the Tunnel (Edit) form. You can also modify the network domain in the Tunnel (Edit) form. See Step 58 . The Egress Interfaces Consistency State status specifies if all the interface associations to SDP belong to a particular domain. |
40 |
Perform one of the following:
|
41 |
The Port Binding step is displayed. |
42 |
Select an Ethernet or HSMDA port, or a LAG. Only ports in hybrid mode or a LAG that contains hybrid ports can be selected. |
43 |
Click Next. The Configure Source B-MAC LSB step is displayed. |
44 |
Configure the required parameters. |
45 |
Click Next. The Weighted ECMP step is displayed, if applicable. |
46 |
Configure the parameter if required. |
47 |
Click Next. The Configure PW Ports step form is displayed, if applicable. |
48 |
Click Create. The PW Port Binding (Create) form opens. |
49 |
Perform one of the following:
|
50 |
Configure the required general parameters. |
51 |
Configure the required parameters in the Encapsulation panel. |
52 |
Select an egress shaper virtual port in the QoS panel. |
53 |
Save the changes and close the form. The PW port can be used in the Service Access Points of the following service types:
See the specific service chapter and forms when creating the required service access points. Specify the PW port as the Terminating Port when you create these service access points. The PW port can be specified as the terminating port for L3 access interfaces of the following service types:
The PW port can be specified as the terminating port for L2 access interfaces of the VLL Epipe services. See To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site . The service access point and L2 or L3 access interfaces you create appears in the lists on the Service Access Points and L2 Access Interfaces or L3 Access Interfaces tabs of the PW Port (Edit) form. |
54 |
Configure the Allow Fragmentation parameter if required. |
55 |
Click Finish to save the configuration. |
56 |
To view the service tunnel configuration after closing the form, enable the View the newly created tunnel parameter. |
57 |
Close the form. |
58 |
If the View the newly created tunnel parameter in Step 56 is enabled, the Tunnel (Edit) form opens with the newly-created service tunnel configuration displayed. Use the following steps: |
