To configure a spoke SDP binding on a VLL site

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Choose a VLL service and click Properties. The VLL_type Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service tree, expand Sites→Spoke SDP Bindings, right-click and choose Create SDP Spoke Binding, or expand Spoke SDP Bindings, right-click on a circuit and choose Properties. The Spoke SDP Binding (Create|Edit) form opens.

4 

Specify a destination NE for the spoke SDP binding:

  1. If the tunnel termination site is a managed NE, select an NE from a list of managed NEs.

  2. If the tunnel termination site is an unmanaged NE, specify the system ID for the Tunnel Termination Site parameter.

5 

Configure the required general parameters.

The VC ID parameter is configurable when the Auto-Assign ID parameter is disabled.

The Block On Peer Fault parameter takes effect only when PW status signaling is enabled.

The Block On Peer Fault parameter is not configurable on a spoke SDP that is on an MC LAG or an endpoint.

You must configure the VLAN VC Tag parameter with the same value as the inner tag of the QinQ SAP on the service. See Epipe (Ethernet VLL) in VLL service management overview for more information. See To configure a VLL site and To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site for additional configuration requirements for a 3-plus-tag Epipe service.

The SDP Admin Bandwidth parameter is not configurable if you select an MPLS-TP tunnel in Step 6 .

The range of the Ingress Label parameter depends on the parameter value set for the Static Label Range on the MPLS instance. See To configure an MPLS instance .

The Override Service MTU parameter is only configurable on SDP bindings in a Epipe service. Configuring this parameter to any value other than -1 uses that value for the MTU size, instead of the value configured at the service level. When the value is -1, the service-level MTU is used.

6 

To specify a transport tunnel for the spoke SDP binding:

  1. Configure the transport tunnel manually by selecting a service tunnel for the SDP binding in the Tunnel panel.

    Note: The NFM-P blocks the manual selection of a tunnel with insufficient bandwidth if the server configuration includes the following parameter setting:

    <vll-CAC enforceTunnelBandwidth="true"/>

    The parameter is set to false by default, which means that the NFM-P does not block the manual selection of a tunnel with insufficient bandwidth; instead, the “Insufficient Bandwidth To Allocate To SDP Binding” State Cause indicator is set.

    To change the parameter setting, contact Nokia technical support.

  2. For Apipe and Cpipe VLLs, configure an MPLS-TP transport tunnel manually by selecting a tunnel in the Tunnel panel. See To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel for more information about how to create an MPLS-TP service tunnel.

  3. Let the NFM-P configure the transport tunnel automatically.

    1. Enable the Auto-Select Transport Tunnel parameter.

    2. Configure either the Profile Name or the Tunnel Auto-Selection Transport Preference parameter.

7 

To create redundant SDP bindings, configure the endpoint in the Redundancy panel.

  1. Select an endpoint in the Redundancy panel.

  2. Configure the parameters.

    When the Precedence parameter is set to 0, you can configure a secondary SAP on an ATM interface, MC-APS, or APS for HSPDA offload fallback.

8 

To specify a transport tunnel for the Return SDP binding:

Note: You can create a return tunnel only between sites that are in the same service. If the sites are not in the same service, the Return tab does not appear.

When the Auto Select Return Transport Tunnel parameter is enabled, NFM-P will consider and use a portion of the bandwidth you specified when setting the SDP Admin Bandwidth parameter in Step 5 .

  1. Allow the NFM-P to configure the transport tunnel automatically by clicking on the Return tab, enabling the Auto Select Return Transport Tunnel parameter and selecting a tunnel selection profile beside the Profile name parameter. See To create a tunnel selection profile for more information about how to create a service tunnel profile.

  2. Allow the NFM-P to configure the transport tunnel automatically by clicking on the Return tab, and enabling the Auto Select Return Transport Tunnel and Return Tunnel Auto-Selection Transport Preference parameters.

  3. Configure the transport tunnel manually, by clicking on the Return tab, selecting a return tunnel in the Return Tunnel panel.

9 

Select a return endpoint on the terminating site in the Return SDP Binding Endpoint panel.

10 

Configure the parameters in the Hash Label panel, if supported.

11 

Configure the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter in the VLAN panel.

The Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter is configurable only on Epipe SDP bindings.

You cannot enable the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter if you enable the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter in Step 12 .

12 

Configure the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter in the Q in Q panel.

The Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter is configurable only on Epipe SDP bindings.

You cannot enable the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter if you enable the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter in Step 11 .

13 

To configure QoS:

  1. Click on the QoS tab.

  2. Select a network policy and configure the required parameters in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  3. Select an ingress queue group template policy in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  4. Configure the Instance ID parameter in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  5. Select a network policy and configure the required parameters in the Port Redirect panel.

  6. Select an egress queue group template policy in the Port Redirect panel.

  7. Configure the Instance ID parameter in the Port Redirect panel.

14 

Click on the States tab and configure the Administrative State parameter.

15 

To configure BFD:

  1. Click on the BFD tab.

  2. Enable the Enable BFD parameter.

  3. Select a BFD template in the BFD Template panel.

16 

To configure pseudowire OAM:

  1. Click on the Pseudowire OAM tab.

  2. Configure the Control Word parameter.

    If you are creating a spoke SDP binding using an MPLS-TP service tunnel for pseudowire static configuration, you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred.

    For Apipes, if you set the VC Type parameter to ATM-SDU in Step 3 of To create a VLL service , you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred.

    For Fpipes, if you set the VC Type parameter to FR-DLCI in Step 3 of To create a VLL service , you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred.

    For Hpipes, if you set the VC Type parameter to HDLC in Step 3 of To create a VLL service , you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred.

17 

To assign ingress and egress filter policies to the spoke SDP binding:

  1. Click on the ACL tab.

  2. Select an ingress filter in the Ingress Filter panel.

  3. Select an egress filter in the Egress Filter panel.

  4. Select an IPv6 ingress filter in the IPv6 Ingress Filter panel.

18 

To assign an accounting policy to the SDP binding:

  1. Click on the Accounting tab.

  2. Configure the Collect Accounting Statistics parameter.

  3. Select an accounting policy in the Accounting policy panel.

19 

To configure security:

  1. Click on the Security tab.

  2. Enable the IP Src Monitoring parameter.

20 

To assign an Application Profile to the spoke SDP binding:

  1. Click on the Application Assurance tab.

  2. Select an application profile string.

    You can select only local profiles on the NE.

  3. To associate a transit IP policy with an Epipe service object, select a transit IP policy in the Transit IP Policy panel.

    See To configure an AA transit IP policy for more information about how to configure a transit IP policy.

  4. To associate an AA transit prefix policy with the service object, select a transit prefix policy in the Transit Prefix Policy panel.

    See To configure an AA transit prefix policy for more information about how to configure a transit prefix policy.

  5. To associate an AA redundant protocol with an Epipe service object, select an AA redundant protocol in the AA Redundant Protocol panel.

21 

Perform one of the following:

  1. If you are configuring a VLL with spoke switching, you must configure a switching site and two or more terminating sites. Repeat To configure a VLL site to configure more sites, and repeat Step 1 through Step 22 of this procedure.

  2. If you are configuring a PBB Epipe, you can only configure one Spoke SDP. Go to Step 22 .
