Workflow to create a VLL service

Overview

The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a VLL service. As a prerequisite for creating a VLL service, this workflow assumes the following:

a group or customer with the required user access privileges has been configured.
the IP or IP/MPLS core network exists.
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 .
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.

Stages


1	Create and configure the VLL service: Define the VLL service type as Epipe, Apipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, Ipipe, or Cpipe. Specify the NEs (sites) used in the service based on the following topologies: Traditional VLL: terminating site only Switching VLL: switching site with two or more terminating sites Redundant VLL: ICB spoke to MC-LAG (Epipe) or MC-APS (for Apipe and Epipe) Specify the following information for redundant VLL services: endpoints access interfaces for VLL terminating sites Specify the following information to create a VLL Apipe or Epipe HSDPA offload fallback solution: endpoints SAP on endpoint one with MC-APS or ATM channel spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint one spoke SDP with primary precedence on endpoint two SAP on endpoint two with MC-APS spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint two Specify aggregation on a service basis, or across a card or port. Specify QoS, scheduling, accounting, ANCP, MEP association and filter policies. Specify the time of day suite.
2	For VLL services created on an OmniSwitch: Create VLAN groups and add members to each group as required. See To create a VLAN group . Delete a VLAN group or group member. See To delete a VLAN group or group member .
3	Turn up the service.
4	Perform one or more of the following as required. Configure a GNE site on a VLL service. See To configure a GNE site on a VLL service . Create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site. See To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site . Create a SAP aggregation group for a 7705 SAR Apipe. See To create a SAP aggregation group on a 7705 SAR Apipe . Configure an Epipe site for EVPN VXLAN. See To configure EVPN on an Epipe site. Create an HSDPA resiliency configuration. See To create an HSDPA resiliency configuration . Activate and manually operate an HSDPA resiliency configuration. See To activate and manually operate an HSDPA resiliency configuration . Run an OAM validation test for a VLL service. See To run an OAM validation test for a VLL service . Configure a BGP VPWS. See To create a BGP VPWS .
5	As required, view VLL service-related information: View the ECMP/LAG hashing of Epipe services to monitor the distribution of Epipe service traffic into the network. See To view ECMP/LAG hashing of Epipe services . View the local status information associated with the VLL service. See To view the local PW status information for a VLL service . View the peer status information associated with the VLL service. See To view the peer PW status information for a VLL service . View the VLL service operational status. See To view the VLL service operational status . View the service topology map associated with a VLL service. See To modify a VLL service using the topology view .
6	As required, modify a VLL service: Using the Manage Services form. See To modify a VLL service . Using the topology view. See To modify a VLL service using the topology view .
7	As required, delete a VLL service. See To delete a VLL service .
