Workflow to create a VLL service
Overview
The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a VLL service. As a prerequisite for creating a VLL service, this workflow assumes the following:
-
a group or customer with the required user access privileges has been configured.
-
the IP or IP/MPLS core network exists.
-
any required service tunnels are created including the static, dynamic or SR-TE LSP required to create the service tunnel; see
To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel .
-
the access ports for the service are created; see
Chapter 16, Port and channel object configuration for more information.
-
any required pre-defined routing, QoS, scheduling, filter, accounting, and time of day suite policies are created; see
Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information. You do not have to create pre-defined policies if policies are created on a per-service basis.
-
any required MP-BGP for PE-to-PE routing is configured; see
Chapter 28, Routing protocol configuration for more information about protocol configuration.
Stages

|
1 | Create and configure the VLL service:
-
Define the VLL service type as Epipe, Apipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, Ipipe, or Cpipe.
- Specify the NEs (sites) used in the service based on the following topologies:
-
Traditional VLL: terminating site only
-
Switching VLL: switching site with two or more terminating sites
-
Redundant VLL: ICB spoke to MC-LAG (Epipe) or MC-APS (for Apipe and Epipe)
- Specify the following information for redundant VLL services:
- Specify the following information to create a VLL Apipe or Epipe HSDPA offload fallback solution:
-
endpoints
-
SAP on endpoint one with MC-APS or ATM channel
-
spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint one
-
spoke SDP with primary precedence on endpoint two
-
SAP on endpoint two with MC-APS
-
spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint two
-
Specify aggregation on a service basis, or across a card or port.
-
Specify QoS, scheduling, accounting, ANCP, MEP association and filter policies.
-
Specify the time of day suite.

-
Create VLAN groups and add members to each group as required. See
To create a VLAN group .
-
Delete a VLAN group or group member. See

-
View the local status information associated with the VLL service. See
To view the local PW status information for a VLL service .
-
View the peer status information associated with the VLL service. See
To view the peer PW status information for a VLL service .
-
View the VLL service operational status. See
To view the VLL service operational status .
-
View the service topology map associated with a VLL service. See
