Managing network services
NSP manages network services using a library of a predefined set of service models including L3 VPN, EVPN, C-Line, E-LAN, E-TREE, E-Line and IES services. These service models can be installed and utilized by the built-in, intent-based engine (NSP Network Intents views) to provide assurance that service configuration is as planned/requested, and also easy adaptability for custom service model requests. New service models to support custom needs can also be developed with aid of the NSP automation practice team using the NSP programmability suite.
Service management uses the following pathway:
-
Open a service template form under Service Management, Service List, Service Templates and select + Service template.
-
In the Template Name field, enter one of the template names listed in Table 6-1, Template names for each service (for example, for creating a teleprotection service, select Standard_Relay).
-
Select the Service Intent Type from the drop-down menu corresponding to the Template Name in Table 6-2, Supported intent types and view configurations for each service template. (for example, for Standard_Relay, select cpipe).
-
Select the Config Form from the drop-down menu corresponding to the Template Name in Table 6-2, Supported intent types and view configurations for each service template. (for example, for Standard_Relay, select StandardRelayTemplate).
-
When the service template has been created, create a service under Service Management, Service List, Services, or select the service from the Service Management drop-down in the navigation menu.
