Workflow to create VLAN services (OmniSwitch)

Overview

The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a VLAN service on OmniSwitch devices. As a prerequisite for creating a VLAN service, this workflow assumes that the following appropriate preconfigurations have been performed:

Stages
 

Provision a Standard VLAN service. See To create a standard VLAN service on OmniSwitch devices .

  1. Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to Standard VLAN) and associate a customer with the VLAN.

  2. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service .


Provision a L2 VPN VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch L2 VPN TLS VLAN service .

  1. Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to L2-VPN (TLS/VLAN-Stacking)) and associate a customer with the VLAN.

  2. Add Ethernet services to the VLAN site. See To add Ethernet services to a VLAN Site .


Provision a BTV VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch BTV VLAN service .

  1. Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to Broadcast TV (MVR/IPMV)) and associate a customer with the VLAN.

  2. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service .

  3. Add Ethernet services to the VLAN site. See To add Ethernet services to a VLAN Site .


Provision a VIP VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch VIP VLAN service .

  1. Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to VIP VLAN) and associate a customer with the VLAN.

  2. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service .


Provision a Backbone VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch Backbone VLAN service .


As required:

  1. Create VLAN groups and add members to each group as required. See To create a VLAN group .

  2. Delete a VLAN group or group member. See To delete a VLAN group or group member .

  3. Add a MEP to an OmniSwitch VLAN service access interface. See To manually add MEPs to an OmniSwitch VLAN service access interface .

  4. Configure IGMP on an OmniSwitch VLAN site. See To configure IGMP on an OmniSwitch VLAN site .


Turn up the service.

Network interface VLAN bindings are created between the newly-created VLAN and all of the network ports on the node.


As required, run an OAM validation test on a VLAN service. See To run an OAM validation test on a VLAN service .
