Deploying and provisioning services

The service model provides a logical and uniform way of constructing connectivity services. The basic steps for deploying and provisioning services can be broken down into three phases.

Building the core network

The first phase of deploying and provisioning services is the core network construction.

Build the IP or IP/MPLS core network.
Configure the routing protocols.
Configure MPLS LSPs (if MPLS is used).
Construct the core SDP service tunnel mesh for the services.

Performing service administration

Performing service administration

Perform the first phase for deploying and provisioning services, that is, building the core network.

The second phase of deploying and provisioning services is the service administration. The service administration includes preliminary policy and SDP configurations to control traffic flow, operator access, and to manage fault conditions and alarm messages.

Configure group and user access privileges.
Build templates for QoS, filter, or accounting policies needed to support the core services.

Provisioning services

Provisioning services

Perform the second phase for deploying and provisioning services, that is, performing service administration.

The third phase of deploying and provisioning services is the service provisioning.

Provision customer account information.
If necessary, build any customer-specific QoS, filter, or accounting policies.
Provision the services on the service edge routers by defining SAPs, binding policies to the SAPs, and binding the service to appropriate SDPs as necessary.
See Configuring customers and Configuring an SDP.
