To configure service tunnel required bandwidth for the service

Prerequisites

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.

The following prerequisites apply for use of CAC:

An LSP must be created between the required NEs. See To create a static LSP or To create a Dynamic LSP.
If a Tunnel Selection profile is used, the Tunnel Selection profile must contain MPLS: RSVP. See To create a tunnel selection profile.
For CAC on a Static LSP, the LSP must be configured using the NFM-P for all hops.

Static LSPs and hops configured in the NE do not appear complete in the NFM-P.
For CAC on an MLPPP port, MLPPP physical links must be created. See To create a physical link.

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Bandwidth management configuration/Static LSP/Physical link is lost if the NE is unmanaged from the NFM-P.

If management is re-started, bandwidth management parameters must be configured again.

Steps


1	Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.
2	Choose a VLL service and click Properties. The VLL_type Service (Edit) form opens.
3	Click on the Bandwidth tab.
4	Configure the Bandwidth Method parameter.
5	If the Bandwidth Method parameter is set to Input Manually or Calculate from SAPs, configure LSP Path Booking and Service Path Booking parameters.
6	If the Bandwidth Method parameter is set to Input Manually, enter a required bandwidth value for each CoS (see CoS 0 Bandwidth - CoS 7 Bandwidth). If the bandwidth values configured in the service and the site differ, the lower number will be used by the system.
7	Save the changes and close the forms. End of steps
