Connection profile policies

Overview

You can configure an ATM-cell Apipe service with an ATM SAP type. The SAP type is an ATM connection profile name. The NFM-P ATM connection profile configures a list of VPI/VCI pairs.

You can apply a connection profile only to a SAP that is part of an Apipe VLL with a VC Type parameter that is set to ATM-cell. The ATM SAP can be on a regular port or APS port. You can apply a connection profile to any number of ATM SAPs.

Consider the following when you configure a connection profile:

• A SAP-to-SAP VLL service is not supported using ATM SAP to which a connection profile is assigned. You must configure each VPI/VCI pair into a separate SAP and create as many Apipe VLL services with the VC type ATM-vcc as required.

• You cannot configured an ATM SAP to which a connection profile is assigned on a port which is part of a MC-APS protection group.

• You cannot add an ATM SAP to which a connection profile to an Apipe VLL endpoint. The SAP cannot be configured on a MC-LAG or MC-APS port. However, this ATM SAP can be part of a VLL service which has an endpoint on a spoke SDP.

You can configure connection profile policies on the 4-port OC-3/STM-1:OC-12/STM-4 ATM MDA and on the 16-port OC-3/STM-1 ATM MDA, on the IOM3/IMM on the 7750 SR-1, 7750 SR-7, 7750 SR-12, 7750 SR-c4, and the 7750 SR-c4.

7210 SAS VLAN ranges

7210 SAS VLAN ranges allow you to group a range of VLAN IDs as a single entity. This allows you to provide a VPLS or VLL Epipe service configuration—such as forwarding, ACL, QoS, and accounting—to the group of VLAN IDs.

You can use a connection profile to specify either a range of VLAN IDs or individual VLANs to be grouped together in a single SAP. You can configure only one VLAN range SAP in a VPLS or Epipe service. In an Epipe service, the other endpoint must be a Q.* SAP or a spoke SDP binding. Access SAPs that use VLAN range values are allowed only for a Dot1Q-encapsulated port or LAG. You can configure multiple connection profiles for each port or LAG, as long as the VLAN values that are specified in each profile do not overlap.

For VPLS VLAN range SAPs, the following restrictions apply:

• BPDU translation, IGMP snooping, and MVR are not supported

• IPv4 and Ipv6 egress ACL filters are not supported

• You cannot configure the Maximum Entries parameter for the FIB

• The Learning Enabled parameter for the SAP cannot be set to false
