To create a B-site for VPLS or MVPLS
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens. |
2 |
Choose the required VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens. |
3 |
On the service tree, right-click on the Sites icon and choose Create VPLS B-Site. |
4 |
Select a site. The B-Site (Create) form opens. |
5 |
Configure the required parameters. |
6 |
Click on the Backbone tab. |
7 |
Configure the backbone parameters. The Source MAC Address should not be duplicated for other B-sites within the same B-VPLS. The Source MAC Address parameter is the only applicable parameter when configuring PBB on a 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, or 7210 SAS-X. The Use SAP Backbone MAC Address parameter is configurable only on the 7750 SR, 7750 SR-c12, 7750 SR-12E, 7450 ESS, or 7950 XRS. The NE must also be configured with an IOM 3 MDA or an XMA. |
8 |
To configure MFIB, STP, FIB, and MRP parameters for the B-site:
|
9 |
To assign test generation options to the site: |
10 |
To configure service tunnel required bandwidth for the site: Note: To configure service tunnel required bandwidth, you must enable the Multi-Segment Tunnel Selection and Service Bandwidth Management checkboxes on the Services tab on the NFM-P System Preferences form. For more information, see the procedure to configure NFM-P system preferences in the NSP System Administrator Guide.

11 |
To configure a provider tunnel for the site: When you configure an inclusive Provider Tunnel, multicast and broadcast Ethernet frames are always forwarded over a P2MP LSP, defined as the Inclusive Provider Multicast Service Interface (I-PMSI). When a Provider Tunnel is not configured, these frames are replicated at the ingress PE and a copy of each frame is forwarded over the P2P PW to each destination PE participating in the VPLS instance. Provider Tunnels can be configured on VPLS and B-VPLS sites. Note: Provider tunnels are supported on the 7750 SR-7, 7750 SR-12, 7750 SR-c4, 7750 SR-c12, 7750 SR-12E, and 7450 ESS NEs in all chassis modes, as well as on the 7540 ESS, provided all network IP interfaces are on IOM3/IMM ports (chassis mode D).

12 |
To create an endpoint for redundancy (dual homing) on the B-site: |
13 |
If you are configuring an MVPLS B-site, go to Step 17 . |
14 |
To configure an SHG on the site: Note: You must configure an SHG or RSHG if you plan to create a spoke circuit from this VPLS B-site to a VLL or to another VPLS.
|
15 |
To create a B-L2 access interface for the site, perform Step 4 to Step 30 of To create a VPLS or MVPLS B-L2 access interface . |
16 |
To create a mesh SDP binding for the site, perform Step 4 to Step 21 of To create a VPLS or MVPLS mesh SDP binding . |
17 |
To create a redundant spoke SDP binding under an endpoint, perform Step 3 to Step 34 of To create a VPLS or MVPLS spoke SDP binding . |
18 |
To create a spoke SDP binding for the site, perform Step 5 to Step 34 of To create a VPLS or MVPLS spoke SDP binding . Note: You cannot create a spoke SDP binding on an MVPLS site that runs MSTP, or enable MSTP on a site that has a spoke SDP binding. You cannot enable MSTP on a SAP that has a non-zero encapsulation value. |
19 |
To create a virtual MEP on the site, perform Step 3 to Step 12 of To create a Virtual MEP on a VPLS site . |
