Sample composite service configuration
General information
The figure below shows a sample composite service configuration that involves a variety of customer services and uses the three SC connector types.

Workflow to create a composite service
The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a composite service. As a prerequisite for creating a composite service, this workflow assumes the following:
-
a group or customer with the required user access privileges has been configured.
-
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 for more information.
-
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.
-
the other network services that are to be the SCs of the composite service are created.
Stages
1 |
As required, modify the default system preferences for composite services such as specifying if composite services are auto-discovered or if service alarms are aggregated for composite services. |
2 |
Create composite service.
|
3 |
As required, run an OAM validation test for the composite service. See To run an OAM validation test for a composite service for more information. Alternatively, you can also run a One Time Validation on the composite service. See To run a one-time validation test on a service for more information. |
4 |
As required, force a manual rediscovery of all composite services in the NFM-P to discover new service connectors that would add SCs to an existing composite service, or for new service connectors that would connect together two SCs to create a new composite service. See To rediscover composite services for more information. |
5 |
Manage a composite service.
