Site configuration

Overview

Service sites are the NEs that participate in a service.

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

Table 19-4: Service site objects

Service type	Package and class
Apipe	apipe.Site, mpr.Asite (for Wavence only)
Epipe	epipe.Site, mpr.Esite (for Wavence only)
Fpipe	fpipe.Site
Ipipe	ipipe.Site
Cpipe	cpipe.Site, mpr.Site (for Wavence only)
Hpipe	hpipe.Site
VPLS, MVPLS, PBB	vpls.Site, vpls.BSite, vpls.ISite, mvpls.Site, mvpls.BSite, mvpls.ISite
IES	ies.Site
VPRN	vprn.Site

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

The genericObject.configureChildInstance method is used in the XML request to create a site. The XML response returns the <objectFullName> parameter that can be used to identify the new service site.

Service site creation parameters

method - generic.GenericObject.configureChildInstance
distinguishedName - svc-mgr:service-${*id}
childConfigInfo - creates and configures the following service site parameters:
- Service object - see Table 19-4, Service site objects
- actionMask - specifies the create operation
- <siteId> - IP address of the NE

Figure 19-6: Service site creation request example

<generic.GenericObject.configureChildInstance xmlns="xmlapi_1.0">

   <deployer>immediate</deployer>

   <synchronousDeploy>true</synchronousDeploy>

   <distinguishedName>svc-mgr:service-620</distinguishedName>

   <childConfigInfo>

      <epipe.Site>

         <actionMask>

      </epipe.Site>

   </childConfigInfo>
