SDP binding configuration

Overview

SDP bindings are associations of SDPs to services. The SDPs are required only on distributed services. A distributed service spans more than one NE. SDPs are used to direct traffic from one NE to another through a service tunnel.

The XML API allows you to create and manage SDP bindings by using the classes specified in the following table.

Table 19-6: Service SDP binding objects

Service type	Package and class
Apipe	svt.SpokeSdpBinding
Epipe
Fpipe
Ipipe
Cpipe
Hpipe
VPRN
IES
VPLS, MVPLS, PBB	svt.MeshSdpBinding, svt.SpokeSdpBinding

The following example shows the minimum XML parameter tags required to develop an XML request to create a basic service SDP bindings.

The genericObject.configureChildInstance method is used in the XML request to create a SDP binding. The XML response returns the <objectFullName> parameter to identify the new service SDP binding.

Service SDP binding creation parameters

method - generic.GenericObject.configureChildInstance
distinguishedName - svc-mgr:service-${*id}:${siteId}
childConfigInfo - creates and configures the following SDP binding parameters:
- Service object - see Table 19-6, Service SDP binding objects
- actionMask - specifies the create operation
- <tunnelSelectionTerminationSiteId> - assigns the termination site ID of the SDP binding
