How do I create an EVPN E-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create an EVPN 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 EVPN E-Line template is being used.

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

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.
