Workflow to create VLAN services (OmniSwitch)

Overview

The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a VLAN service on OmniSwitch devices. As a prerequisite for creating a VLAN service, this workflow assumes that the following appropriate preconfigurations have been performed:

pre-discovery CLI modifications
discovery including mediation configuration with CLI usernames and passwords
addition of the OmniSwitches that participate in the VLAN to a VLAN group
configure OmniSwitch network ports, as required, from the navigation tree. The Automatic VLAN Binding parameter associated with a network port or LAG must be enabled before the NFM-P can identify the network port or LAG as a network interface. This parameter is only supported on Stacked VLANs.
configure QoS policies, as required

Stages


1	Provision a Standard VLAN service. See To create a standard VLAN service on OmniSwitch devices . Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to Standard VLAN) and associate a customer with the VLAN. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service .
2	Provision a L2 VPN VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch L2 VPN TLS VLAN service . Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to L2-VPN (TLS/VLAN-Stacking)) and associate a customer with the VLAN. Add Ethernet services to the VLAN site. See To add Ethernet services to a VLAN Site .
3	Provision a BTV VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch BTV VLAN service . Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to Broadcast TV (MVR/IPMV)) and associate a customer with the VLAN. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service . Add Ethernet services to the VLAN site. See To add Ethernet services to a VLAN Site .
4	Provision a VIP VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch VIP VLAN service . Create the VLAN (setting the application parameter to VIP VLAN) and associate a customer with the VLAN. Associate access interfaces with the VLAN service. See To associate an access interface with a VLAN service .
5	Provision a Backbone VLAN service. See To create an OmniSwitch Backbone VLAN service .
6	As required: 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 . Add a MEP to an OmniSwitch VLAN service access interface. See To manually add MEPs to an OmniSwitch VLAN service access interface . Configure IGMP on an OmniSwitch VLAN site. See To configure IGMP on an OmniSwitch VLAN site .
7	Turn up the service. Network interface VLAN bindings are created between the newly-created VLAN and all of the network ports on the node.
8	As required, run an OAM validation test on a VLAN service. See To run an OAM validation test on a VLAN service .
9	View the VLAN service operational status. See To view the VLAN service operational status .
