To modify a VPLS

CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Modifying parameters can be service-affecting.

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.

The following tabs contain parameter information for the service:

  • General tab—displays the general service properties

  • MVR tab—displays multicast package policy information for the service

  • Bandwidth tab — displays service tunnel bandwidth booking information for the service.

  • OAM tab—allows the creation and execution of service-specific diagnostic tests

  • Forwarding Control tab—lists the FIB and STP instances

  • Sites tab—lists the sites that belong to the service

  • L2 Access Interfaces tab—lists the L2 access interfaces that belong to the service

  • L2 Management Interfaces tab—lists the L2 management interfaces that belong to the service

  • Mesh SDP Bindings tab—displays the mesh SDP bindings that belong to the service

  • Spoke SDP Bindings tab—displays the spoke SDP bindings that belong to the service, including active and backup SDP bindings associated with endpoints.

  • Endpoints tab—displays the endpoints associated with the service

  • Faults tab—displays the faults associated with the service

  • Schedulers tab—configures the rate type and displays the egress aggregate rate limit

  • QoS tab

3 

Navigate to related components for the service using the navigation tree, as required.

Certain service components have related objects that can be easily examined using the navigation tree. For such objects, right-clicking them in the navigation tree offers a “Navigate to...” option in the contextual menu. If you select this option, the properties form for the related object is displayed. This can be very convenient, especially for complex services containing many sites and components.

The VPLS components for which you can navigate to such related objects include:

  • I-Sites: you can navigate to the associated B-VPLS or B-(M)VPLS

  • L2 Access Interfaces: you can navigate to the opposite SAP in a VLAN Uplink configuration

  • Redundant L2 Access Interfaces: you can navigate to the opposite SAP.

  • Mesh SDP Bindings: you can navigate to the opposite (return) mesh SDP

  • Spoke SDP Bindings: you can navigate to the opposite (return) spoke SDP

Modify the components and parameters for the service, as required.

5 

Save the changes and close the forms.
