How do I create an IES service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create an IES 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 IES template is being used.

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

Note: The creation of IES services is included in Nokia's NSP Use Case Catalog as UCC-16. 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 IES 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.
Customer ID	Specifies the customer ID
Description	Describes the service
Admin State	Specifies the initial administrative state of the service upon deployment
Job ID	Specifies the work-order number
NE Service ID	Specifies the NE service ID

In the Site Details panel, click + ADD.

The Add Site form opens.

Configure the required parameters:

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

Note: If site names and descriptions are added, these will take precedence over any service name and description specified in Step 4, with the first-configured site's name and description taking precedence over all others. 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 Interface form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Interface Name	Specifies the name of the interface
Interface Type	Specifies the interface type (SAP, SDP, or Loopback)
Admin State	Specifies the administrative state of the interface
IP MTU	Describes the interface IP MTU
IPv4
Address	Specifies the primary IPv4 address to be assigned to the interface
Prefix Length	Specifies the primary IPv4 address prefix length
Secondary (click + ADD)
Address	Specifies the secondary IPv4 address to be assigned to the interface
Prefix Length	Specifies the secondary IPv4 address prefix length
IPv6 (click + ADD)
Address	Specifies the IPv6 address to be assigned to the interface
Prefix Length	Specifies the IPv6 address prefix length
SAP
Port ID	Specifies the port identifier
Admin State	Specifies the administrative state of the service
Description	Describes the SAP
Collect Accounting Statistics	Specifies whether or not accounting statistics will be collected
Enable QoS	Specifies whether or not QoS is enabled
Enable IP/IPv6 Filter	Specifies whether or not an IP/IPv6 filter is enabled
VPLS
VPLS Name	Specifies the name of the VPLS service

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.

In both the IPv4 and IPv6 panels, click + ADD to configure the VRRP parameters as required:

Parameter	Description
Virtual Router ID	Specifies the virtual router identifier (VRID) for the VRRP virtual router instance
Backup	Specifies virtual router IP addresses for the interface
Priority	Specifies the base priority for the VRRP
MAC	Specifies a MAC address to be used by the virtual router instance, overriding the VRRP default derived from the VRID
Ping Reply	Specifies whether or not the non-owner can reply to ICMP echo requests directed to the virtual router instance IP addresses

If QoS was enabled in Step 8, configure the parameters as required in both the ingress and egress panels:

Parameter	Description
QoS
Match QinQ Dot1p (ingress only)	Specifies the match QinQ Dot1p
QinQ Mark Top Only (egress only)	Specifies whether top Q-tags are marked
SAP Ingress
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the ingress SAP policy
Queuing Type	Specifies the ingress queuing type
SAP Egress
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the egress SAP policy
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
Policer Control Policy
Policy Name	Specifies the name of the policer control policy
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

If an IP/IPv6 filter was enabled in Step 8, configure the parameters as required in both the ingress and egress panels:

Parameter	Description
IP	Specifies the IP filter identifier
IPv6	Specifies the IPv6 filter identifier

Click ADD to add the interface. The Add Interface form closes.

Repeat Step 6 to Step 12 to add additional interfaces.

Click ADD to add the site(s). The Add Site 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.

See What is the state of my service or tunnel? for more information.
