How do I create a redundant C-Line service?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a redundant C-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 redundant C-Line template is being used.

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

Note: The creation of C-Line services is included in Nokia's NSP Use Case Catalog as UCC-13. 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 a redundant C-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
VC Type	Specifies the virtual circuit type
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
Job ID	Specifies the work-order number

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
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.

In the Service Endpoints Details panel, click + ADD.

The Add Endpoint form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Endpoint	Specifies the IP address of the endpoint
Active Multipath	Specifies whether the endpoint is the active multipath

Notes:

To enable Active Multipath, the service must shutdown.
Active Multipath should be enabled on an endpoint with two spokes
When Active Multipath is enabled, ICB cannot be enabled
When Active Multipath enabled, asymmetric-delay cannot be enabled
Active Multipath is only supported on SAR devices

Repeat Step 7 and Step 8 as required to add additional endpoints.

In the SAP Details panel, click +ADD.

The Add SAP form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Port ID	Specifies the port identifier
Time Slots	Specifies the time slot pattern to be used
Admin State	Specifies the administrative state of the service
Description	Describes the SAP

In the Service Endpoint panel, specify the endpoint of the SAP.

In the CEM panel, configure the parameters as required:

Parameter	Description
RTP Header	Specifies whether or not an RTP header is used when packets are transmitted to the Packet Service Network
Payload Size	Specifies the payload size (in bytes) of packets transmitted to the Packet Service Network
Jitter Buffer	Specifies the jitter buffer size (in milliseconds)

In the Asymmetric Delay Control panel, configure the parameters as required:

Parameter	Description
Enable	Specifies whether or not asymmetric delay control is enabled
Samples	Specifies the number of packets that will be sampled during the sampling period
Repeat Period	Specifies the sampling period (in minutes)
Enable QoS	Specifies whether or not QoS is enabled
Enable IP/IPv6 Filter	Specifies whether or not an IP/IPv6 filter is enabled

If QoS was enabled in Step 14, 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
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 14, 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 SAP.

The Add SAP form closes.

In the SDP Details panel, click + ADD.

The Add SDP form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Destination Device ID	Specifies the SDP destination device identifier
Steering Parameter	Specifies the steering parameter used by NSP
Spoke SDP ID	Specifies the SDP identifier
Description	Describes the SDP binding

Click ADD to add the SDP binding.

The Add SDP form closes.

Configure the VC Switching parameter in the PW Switching panel.

Click ADD.

The Site Details form closes.

Repeat Step 5 and Step 20 as required to add additional sites.

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.
