To connect a G.8032 Ethernet ring to a VPLS
Purpose
Perform the following procedure to connect an existing G.8032 Ethernet ring to a VPLS. See Ethernet G.8032 rings for information about using the NFM-P to automatically create G.8032 Ethernet rings. See To create an Ethernet G.8032 ring to create G.8032 Ethernet rings using the NFM-P GUI.
Connecting an Ethernet ring adds the sites in the ring to the VPLS, then creates SAPs and paths for the ring.
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens. |
2 |
Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens. |
3 |
Perform the following bandwidth management configuration as required:
|
4 |
Select one or more sites in the navigation tree and right-click and choose Connect to Ethernet Ring. The sites must be part of the same Ethernet ring. The Connect to Ethernet Ring form opens. |
5 |
Select an Ethernet ring:
|
6 |
Configure the required parameters. Note: If you are connecting a G.8032 Ethernet ring to a VPLS using a Dot1q SAP, only configure the Data Service Outer Encap parameter. For QinQ SAPs, configure both the Data Service Outer/Inner Encap parameters. |
7 |
As required, repeat Step 3 to perform additional bandwidth management configuration on customer SAPs. If you modify the bandwidth parameters, choose Audit CAC to recalculate service tunnel bandwidth booking. |
8 |
Save the changes and close the forms. All sites in the ring are created in the service, if they were not already present. End of steps |
