Workflow to create a VLL service

Overview

The following workflow lists the high-level steps required to create a VLL service. As a prerequisite for creating a VLL service, this workflow assumes the following:

  • a group or customer with the required user access privileges has been configured.

  • the IP or IP/MPLS core network exists.

  • any required service tunnels are created including the static, dynamic or SR-TE LSP required to create the service tunnel; see To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel .

  • the access ports for the service are created; see Chapter 16, Port and channel object configuration for more information.

  • any required pre-defined routing, QoS, scheduling, filter, accounting, and time of day suite policies are created; see Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information. You do not have to create pre-defined policies if policies are created on a per-service basis.

  • any required MP-BGP for PE-to-PE routing is configured; see Chapter 28, Routing protocol configuration for more information about protocol configuration.

Stages
 
1 

Create and configure the VLL service:

  1. Define the VLL service type as Epipe, Apipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, Ipipe, or Cpipe.

  2. Specify the NEs (sites) used in the service based on the following topologies:

    • Traditional VLL: terminating site only

    • Switching VLL: switching site with two or more terminating sites

    • Redundant VLL: ICB spoke to MC-LAG (Epipe) or MC-APS (for Apipe and Epipe)

  3. Specify the following information for redundant VLL services:

    • endpoints

    • access interfaces for VLL terminating sites

  4. Specify the following information to create a VLL Apipe or Epipe HSDPA offload fallback solution:

    • endpoints

    • SAP on endpoint one with MC-APS or ATM channel

    • spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint one

    • spoke SDP with primary precedence on endpoint two

    • SAP on endpoint two with MC-APS

    • spoke SDP with ICB on endpoint two

  5. Specify aggregation on a service basis, or across a card or port.

  6. Specify QoS, scheduling, accounting, ANCP, MEP association and filter policies.

  7. Specify the time of day suite.

For VLL services created on an OmniSwitch:

  1. Create VLAN groups and add members to each group as required. See To create a VLAN group .

  2. Delete a VLAN group or group member. See To delete a VLAN group or group member .

3 

Turn up the service.

4 

Perform one or more of the following as required.

  1. Configure a GNE site on a VLL service. See To configure a GNE site on a VLL service .

  2. Create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site. See To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site .

  3. Create a SAP aggregation group for a 7705 SAR Apipe. See To create a SAP aggregation group on a 7705 SAR Apipe .

  4. Configure an Epipe site for EVPN VXLAN. See To configure EVPN on an Epipe site.

  5. Create an HSDPA resiliency configuration. See To create an HSDPA resiliency configuration .

  6. Activate and manually operate an HSDPA resiliency configuration. See To activate and manually operate an HSDPA resiliency configuration .

  7. Run an OAM validation test for a VLL service. See To run an OAM validation test for a VLL service .

  8. Configure a BGP VPWS. See To create a BGP VPWS .

5 

As required, view VLL service-related information:

  1. View the ECMP/LAG hashing of Epipe services to monitor the distribution of Epipe service traffic into the network. See To view ECMP/LAG hashing of Epipe services .

  2. View the local status information associated with the VLL service. See To view the local PW status information for a VLL service .

  3. View the peer status information associated with the VLL service. See To view the peer PW status information for a VLL service .

  4. View the VLL service operational status. See To view the VLL service operational status .

  5. View the service topology map associated with a VLL service. See To modify a VLL service using the topology view .

6 

As required, modify a VLL service:

  1. Using the Manage Services form. See To modify a VLL service .

  2. Using the topology view. See To modify a VLL service using the topology view .

7 

As required, delete a VLL service. See To delete a VLL service .
