SDP binding configuration

Overview

SDP bindings are associations of SDPs to services. The SDPs are required only on distributed services. A distributed service spans more than one NE. SDPs are used to direct traffic from one NE to another through a service tunnel.

The XML API allows you to create and manage SDP bindings by using the classes specified in the following table.

Service type

Package and class

Apipe

svt.SpokeSdpBinding

Epipe

Fpipe

Ipipe

Cpipe

Hpipe

VPRN

IES

VPLS, MVPLS, PBB

svt.MeshSdpBinding, svt.SpokeSdpBinding

The following example shows the minimum XML parameter tags required to develop an XML request to create a basic service SDP bindings.

The genericObject.configureChildInstance method is used in the XML request to create a SDP binding. The XML response returns the <objectFullName> parameter to identify the new service SDP binding.
