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

Choose an IES and click Properties. The IES Service (Edit) form opens.

On the service navigation tree, expand Sites→site, right-click on L3 Access Interfaces and choose Create IES L3 Access Interface, or expand L3 Access Interfaces, right-click on an access interface and choose Properties. The IES L3 Access Interface (Create|Edit) form opens.

Configure the required parameters.

The Unnumbered Type parameter is configurable when the Class parameter is set to Unnumbered.

The Unnumbered IP Address parameter is configurable when the Unnumbered Type parameter is set to IP Address.

The Unnumbered Interface Name parameter is configurable when the Unnumbered Type parameter is set to Name.

For a 7705 SAR, if a port or LAG is associated with the L3 access interface, the loopback parameter cannot be enabled. If the loopback is enabled, a port or LAG cannot be associated with the L3 access interface.

The Admin Link Local Address parameters are only configurable when the IPv6 Allowed parameter is enabled.

The Enable Ingress FlowSpec IPv4 and Enable Ingress FlowSpec IPv6 parameters appear only when a port is configured on the interface.

The Tunnel Fault Notification parameter is configurable on interfaces where the device has ports configured in access or hybrid mode with QinQ encapsulation.

If you are configuring a tunnel facility MEP, Tunnel Fault Notification must be set to Accept, in order to receive the fault notification from the tunnel facility MEP.

Configure the Configured IP MTU (Octets) parameter in the Frame Size Constraints panel.

Configure the parameters in the Unicast RPF panel.

The URPF Check State IPv6 and URPF Check Mode IPv6 parameters are only configurable when the IPv6 Allowed parameter is enabled.

To associate a host lockout policy with the L3 access interface, select a policy in the Host Lockout panel.

Configure the PTP HW Assist parameter in the PTP HW panel.

You can only enable the PTP HW Assist parameter after the port is associated to the interface, and an IP address is configured on the interface.

To configure cflowd sampling:

1. Click Create in the Cflowd Sampling panel. The Cflowd Sampling (Create) form opens.

2. Configure the required parameters and click Apply. The Cflowd sampling object appears in the Cflowd Sampling panel.

3. Save your changes.

Select an operational group in the Operational Group panel.

Associate a port with the L3 access interface:

1. Click on the Port tab.

   If the Loopback Enabled parameter in Step 4 is enabled, you cannot associate a port with the L3 access interface.

2. Select a port in the Terminating Port panel.

   Only ports in access or hybrid mode, or PW ports are listed. To choose a port that is not listed, you must set the Mode parameter for the port to Access or Hybrid. The port is listed when you click Search.

   The form only lists PW ports that are bound to a service tunnel. See To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel for information about creating a service tunnel with a PW port binding.

   You can select a bundle in the Terminating Port panel.

3. 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.

   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. Choose Application→ User Preferences from the main menu.

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

   The Outer Encapsulation Value (VPI) and Inner Encapsulation Value (VCI) parameters are configurable only for ATM ports.

4. Configure the required parameters in the Properties panel.

5. Select an NE DoS protection policy in the Security panel and configure the required parameters.

Save the changes and close the forms.
