To create an L2 access interface on a destination site

Note: You cannot create an L2 access interface on the site if you create an L2 access interface for redundancy in To create an endpoint for redundancy support on a mirror site .

For a 7210 SAS destination site in a mirror service, you can either create a SAP or specify a mirror SDP binding, but not both.

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Select a mirror service and click Properties. The Mirror Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service navigation tree, expand Destination Sites→destination_site, right-click on L2 Access Interface (Test Equipment Interface), and choose Create L2 Access Interface. The L2 Access Interface (Create) form opens.

4 

To configure an endpoint for redundancy, click on the Select button in the Redundancy panel to select the desired endpoint.

Note: If you select an endpoint for redundancy, the L2 access interface appears under the Endpoints object on the service navigation tree.

5 

Click on the Port tab.

6 

Select a port.

Note: The form lists only ports in access or hybrid mode. To choose a port that is not listed, you must set the Mode parameter for the port to Access or Hybrid. After you do this, the port is listed when you click on the Search button.

The form lists only ports that have the encapsulation type that you specified in the destination site creation, in To create a destination site on a mirror service

7 

Configure the required parameters.

The Auto-Assign ID parameter is configurable if the port uses dot1q encapsulation. When the parameter is enabled, the NFM-P automatically configures the Outer Encapsulation Value parameter using the lowest unassigned value.

Note: You can set the Auto-Assign ID parameter to be the default parameter for dot1q encapsulation by enabling the Access Interface Encap Value (Dot1q only) parameter on the User Preferences form.

The Inner Encapsulation Value is configurable only when the port is an Ethernet or frame relay port with QinQ encapsulation.

8 

To assign an egress QoS policy to the interface:

  1. Click on the QoS tab.

  2. Configure the Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter.

  3. Select an egress policy in the Egress Policy panel.

9 

To assign a time of day suite to the interface:

  1. Click on the TOD Suite tab.

  2. Select a time of day suite.

10 

To configure scheduling:

  1. Click on the Schedulers tab.

  2. Configure the Aggregate Rate Limit (kbps) parameter.

11 

To configure local mirroring and if you chose IP Only as the encapsulation type in Step 4 of To create a destination site on a mirror service :

  1. Click on the IP Mirror MAC Addresses tab.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

    The Source and Destination MAC addresses on L2 Access Interface must be both null or neither null. Both null means that there are no source or destination MAC addresses configured on the interface.

    Note:

    If you want to configure remote mirroring in a VPRN service, you must create an IP Mirror Interface in that service. See Chapter 79, VPRN service management for more information.

12 

To assign an ANCP policy to the interface:

  1. Click on the ANCP Static Map tab.

  2. Click Create. The ANCP Static Map (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the ANCP String parameter.

  4. Select an ANCP Policy.

  5. Save the changes and close the form.

13 

Save the changes and close the forms.
