How do I create an E-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create an E-Line service. The set of parameters that are available to you is dependant on the intent type that is associated with the service template you select, and may differ from those described in this procedure, which assumes the Nokia-provided E-Line template is being used.

Before attempting to perform this procedure, ensure that you have read Service creation prerequisites.

Note: The creation of E-Line services is included in Nokia's NSP Use Case Catalog as UCC-12. For more information about obtaining access to the catalog and its materials, contact your Nokia sales representative.

Steps

Perform How do I create a service template?.

From the Service Management, Services view, click + CREATE.

The Select a service template to start form opens displaying a list of service templates.

Click on an E-Line service template from the list.

The Create Service form opens with the Template Name parameter populated.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Service Name	Specifies the name of the service. Must be unique from other services created using NSP.
NE Service ID	Specifies the NE service ID
MTU	Specifies the service MTU
Customer ID	Specifies the customer ID
Description	Describes the service
Admin State	Specifies the initial administrative state of the service upon deployment

Continue to the Site A panel.

Configure the required parameters:

Parameter	Description
Device ID	Specifies the device identifier
Site Name	Specifies the site name
Description	Describes the site
MTU	Specifies the site MTU

Note: If site names and descriptions are added, these will take precedence over any service name and description specified in Step 4, with the Site A name and description taking precedence over Site B. As such, these attributes will be displayed in various locations, such as NSP's Model Driven Configurator function and NFM-P.

Click + ADD.

The Add Endpoint form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Port ID	Specifies the port identifier
Inner VLAN Tag	Specifies the inner VLAN tag
Outer VLAN Tag	Specifies the outer VLAN tag

Collect Accounting Statistics	Specifies whether or not accounting statistics will be collected
Multi Service Site	Specifies the multi service site name

Perform the following to specify an accounting policy to be used:

Click on the Accounting Policy field. The Select Accounting Policy form opens.
Click on an accounting policy in the list, then click SELECT. The Select Accounting Policy form closes.

Configure the parameters in the Cpu Protection panel, as required:

Parameter	Description
Policy Id	Specifies the CPM protection policy
Enable QoS	Specifies whether or not QoS is enabled
Enable IP/IPv6 Filter	Specifies whether or not an IP/IPv6 filter is enabled

SAP Ingress
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the ingress SAP policy
Queuing Type	Specifies the ingress queuing type
SAP Egress

Queue (click + ADD)
Queue ID	Specifies the unique identifier for the queue
CBS	Specifies the CBS of the queue
MBS	Specifies the MBS of the queue
PIR	Specifies the PIR rate of the queue
CIR	Specifies the CIR rate of the queue
Policer (click + ADD)
Policer ID	Specifies the unique identifier for the policer
CBS	Specifies the CBS of the policer
MBS	Specifies the MBS of the policer
Stat Mode	Specifies the mode of statistics collected by the policer
Policer Override Rate	Specifies the policer override rate
Policer Control Policy
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the policer control policy
Overrides (click check box)
Max rate	Specifies the maximum rate
Min Thresh Separation	Specifies the minimum threshold separation
Priority (click +ADD)
Priority Level	Specifies the priority level
Mbs Contribution	Specifies the minimum amount of cumulative buffer space allowed
Scheduler Policy
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the scheduler policy
Scheduler (click + ADD)
Scheduler Name	Specifies the name of the scheduler
PIR	Specifies the PIR rate of the scheduler
CIR	Specifies the CIR rate of the scheduler
Weight	Specifies the relative weight of the scheduler to feed the queue
Cir Weight	Specifies the weight used at the within-CIR port priority level
Aggregate Policer (ingress only)
Rate	Specifies the enforced aggregate rate for all queues
Burst	Specifies the aggregate policer burst
Cir	Specifies the aggregate policer CIR
Cbs	Specifies the aggregate policer CBS
Vlan Qos Policy (egress only)
Policy Name	Specifies the Egress VLAN QoS policy name
Port Redirect	Specifies whether or not to enable Egress VLAN QoS policy port redirect
Egress Remark Policy (egress only)
Policy Name	Specifies the Egress Remark policy name
Agg Rate or Percent Agg Rate	Specifies the enforced aggregate rate for all queues

If an IP/IPv6 filter was enabled in Step 9, configure the parameters as required in both the ingress and egress panels:

Parameter	Description
Aggregate Policer (ingress only)
Rate	Specifies the enforced aggregate rate for all queues
Burst	Specifies the aggregate policer burst
Cir	Specifies the aggregate policer CIR
Cbs	Specifies the aggregate policer CBS
IP/IPv6 Filter
IP	Specifies the IP filter identifier
IPv6	Specifies the IPv6 filter identifier

Click ADD to add the endpoint.

The Add Endpoint form closes.

In the Site B panel, repeat Step 5 to Step 11.

In the SDP Details panel, click + ADD.

The Add SDP form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Admin State	Specifies the desired state of the service SDP binding
Source Device ID	Specifies the SDP source device identifier
Destination Device ID	Specifies the SDP destination device identifier
Steering Parameter	Specifies the steering parameter used by NSP
SDP ID	Specifies the SDP identifier
Description	Describes the SDP binding
Override VC-ID	Specifies whether or not the VC-ID will serve as the NE service ID for the SDP
VC ID	Specifies the SDP virtual circuit identifier
VC Type	Specifies the virtual circuit type, Ether or VLAN
Control Ward	Specifies whether or not to use the control word as preferred

Click ADD to add the SDP binding.

The Add SDP form closes.

Perform one of the following:

Select the Reserve Resources check box and click PLAN to create the service in a Planned state.
Click SAVE to create the service in a Saved state.
Click DEPLOY to create the service in a Deployed state.
