To configure a VPRN service

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Click Create→VPRN. The VPRN Service (Create) form opens.

3 

Configure the parameters in the Customer panel.

4 

On the navigation tree, right-click on the Sites object and choose Create VPRN Site. The Select Network Elements form opens.

5 

Choose the required Wavence sites, and click OK. The site objects are displayed on the navigation tree.

6 

Perform the following to configure the L3 access interfaces:

  1. Right-click on the L3 Access Interfaces object on the navigation tree and choose Create L3 Access Interface. The VPRN L3 Access Interface (Create) form opens.

  2. Configure the parameters in the General tab.

  3. Click on the Port tab and select the terminating port.

  4. Configure the VLAN ID parameter.

  5. Click on the Addresses tab and click Create. The IP Address (Create) form opens.

  6. Configure the required parameters and click OK.

    • If it is required to provide IPv4 address, you can provide the IPv4 IP address on the L3 access interface.

    • If it is required to provide IPv6 address, enable the Allow IPv6 check-box. With IPv6 allowed check-box enabled, you can either specify linked local address manually or Use Self-Generated check-box for the system to generate an IP linked local address.

      It is required by the user to provide a valid IPv6 IP address and prefix length under addresses tab and routing tab of VPRN service to avoid any deployment errors.

      There is no MIB mapped to show "Use Self-Generated" in the NFM-P GUI from the Wavence NE. Once you have set the "administrative" Link Local address by VRtrIfAdminLinkLocalAddr, you cannot go back to a self-assigned IP linked local address.

  7. Save your changes.

  8. Repeat sub-steps 1 to 7 to add multiple L3 access Interfaces, if required.

Result: The SAP objects are displayed on the navigation tree below the VPRN L3 Access Interfaces object for each site.

7 

Configure a static route on all the SAP objects.

Two types of VPRN services are supported on SAP nodes. Full mesh, see To configure static routes on a VPRN site and Hub and Spoke method, see To create a black-hole route.

Result: The Remote System or Next Hop objects are displayed on the navigation tree below the Static Routes object for each site.

8 

Click Apply to deploy all of the L3 SAPs and routes on the Wavence devices.

9 

Close the forms.
