To create a VPLS or MVPLS spoke SDP binding

Note: The maximum combined number of mesh and spoke SDP bindings that you can configure on a service site depends on the NE type and release on which the site is configured. A deployment error occurs when you attempt to create an SDP binding if this limit is reached on the NE.

You cannot create a spoke SDP binding on an MVPLS site that runs MSTP. Likewise, you cannot enable MSTP for a site that has a spoke SDP binding, or on a SAP with a non-zero encapsulation value.

For services employing BGP AD and BGP VPLS, you should create SDP bindings manually at non-BGP AD or BGP VPLS enabled sites, or to other BGP AD or BGP VPLS sites where auto-created pseudowires are not expected to be created.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

2 

Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

If you are creating a redundant spoke SDP binding under an endpoint, go to Step 4 . Otherwise go to Step 6 .

Note: Redundant spoke SDP bindings under an endpoint are only valid for VPLS regular sites and B-Sites. They do not apply to I-Sites.

4 

On the service tree, expand Sites→site→Spoke SDP Bindings.

5 

Right-click on Spoke SDP Bindings below the endpoint and choose Create Spoke SDP Bindings. The Spoke SDP Binding (Create) form opens. Go to Step 8 .

6 

On the service tree, expand the site on which you want to create a VPLS spoke SDP binding.

7 

Right-click on Spoke SDP Bindings and choose Create Spoke SDP Bindings. The Spoke SDP Binding (Create) form opens.

8 

Specify a destination NE for the spoke SDP binding:

  1. If the destination NE is a managed NE, select an NE from a list of managed NEs.

  2. If the destination NE is an unmanaged NE, specify the system ID for the Tunnel Termination Site parameter.

9 

Configure the required parameters.

The Block on Mesh SDP Failure parameter does not appear if you are creating a Spoke SDP binding for a B-site or an I-site.

The range of the Ingress Label parameter depends on the parameter value set for the Static Label Range on the MPLS instance. See To configure an MPLS instance .

10 

Perform one of the following to specify a transport tunnel for the spoke SDP binding.

  1. Let the NFM-P configure the transport tunnel automatically.

    1. Enable the Auto-Select Transport Tunnel parameter.

    2. Configure either the Profile Name or the Tunnel Auto-Selection Transport Preference parameter.

    Note: If you are creating a Spoke SDP binding for a B-site, the Tunnel Auto-Selection Preference must be either MPLS:LDP or MPLS:RSVP. For I-sites, you can use MPLS:LDP, MPLS:RSVP, GRE, or Any.

  2. Configure the transport tunnel manually by selecting a tunnel in the Tunnel panel.

  3. Configure an MPLS-TP transport tunnel manually by selecting a tunnel in the Tunnel panel. See To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel for more information about how to create an MPLS-TP service tunnel.

11 

If you are creating the spoke SDP binding for a B-Site or an I-Site, go to Step 19 .

12 

If you are creating the spoke SDP binding under an endpoint, go to Step 14 .

13 

Select an endpoint in the Redundancy panel.

14 

Configure the required general parameters.

15 

Configure the parameters in the Hash Label panel, if required.

The Enable Hash Label parameter is not configurable if you selected an MPLS-TP tunnel in Step 10 .

16 

Configure the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter in the VLAN panel.

The Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter does not appear if you are creating a Spoke SDP binding for a B-Site or an I-Site.

You cannot enable the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter if you enable the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter in Step 17 .

17 

Configure the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter in the Q in Q panel.

The Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter does not appear if you are creating a Spoke SDP binding for a B-site or an I-Site.

You cannot enable the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter if you enable the Force VLAN VC Forwarding parameter in Step 16 .

You cannot enable the Force Q-in-Q VC Forwarding parameter if the Enable IP Interface Binding parameter is enabled on the VPLS site in To configure a VPLS site .

18 

Configure the Enable PW Status Signaling parameter in the Pseudowire Signaling panel.

The Enable PW Status Signaling parameter is not configurable if you selected an MPLS-TP tunnel in Step 10 .

19 

Select an SHG for the spoke SDP binding in the Split Horizon Group panel.

Note: You must configure an SHG or residential SHG on a spoke SDP binding for an HVPLS that includes another VPLS or a VLL service.

20 

Select an application profile for the spoke SDP binding.

Only local profiles on the NE can be selected.

21 

Select a transit prefix policy to associate with the spoke SDP binding in the Transit Prefix Policy panel.

Note: You can bind a transit policy to only one access interface or spoke SDP binding per NE.

The transit policy and the application profile must belong to the same application assurance group or partition.

22 

Select an operational group for the spoke SDP Binding to join as a member.

23 

Select an operational group for the spoke SDP Binding to monitor.

24 

Perform one of the following to specify a transport tunnel for the Return SDP binding.

Note: You can create a return tunnel only between sites that are in the same service. If the sites are not in the same service, the Return tab does not appear.

If you are creating a Return SDP binding for a B-site, the Return Tunnel Auto-Selection Preference must be either MPLS:LDP or MPLS:RSVP. For I-sites, you can use MPLS:LDP, MPLS:RSVP, GRE, or Any.

  1. Let the NFM-P configure the transport tunnel automatically.

    1. Click on the Return tab.

    2. Enable the Auto Select Return Transport Tunnel parameter.

    3. Configure either the Profile Name or the Return Tunnel Auto-Selection Transport Preference parameter.

  2. Configure the transport tunnel manually.

    1. Click on the Return tab.

    2. Select a return tunnel in the Return Tunnel panel.

25 

To configure QoS:

  1. Click on the QoS tab.

  2. Select a network policy in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  3. Select an ingress queue group template policy in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  4. Configure the Instance ID parameter in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.

  5. Select a network policy in the Port Redirect panel.

  6. Select an egress queue group template policy in the Port Redirect panel.

  7. Configure the Instance ID parameter in the Port Redirect panel.

26 

Click on the States tab to specify whether the spoke SDP binding is in or out of service and configure the Administrative State parameter.

27 

Click on the Pseudowire OAM tab and configure the Control Word parameter.

Note: If you are creating a spoke SDP binding using an MPLS-TP service tunnel for pseudowire static configuration, you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred.
