Create services with L1 and CE/MacBridge cards

Perform the following steps to create a new service using .1q/.1ad:

NOTE 1: A VCG-VCG TL should be present to create a service between L1 and CE/Mac Bridge card.

NOTE 2: At the node level, VCG link is up and it automatically displays as a VCG to VCG topology link in NMS.

NOTE 3: It is required to create the service in case of L1 node before creating the service.

Go to Configuration > Layer 2 > Services menu and click Complete Services option. The Manage Services page is displayed.
Click (Create Service) and select the radio button for .1q/.1ad - MPLS-TP under Create Service menu.

A series of new windows will now be displayed for step-by-step creation of a service.

  > To create an ELAN service, select the Service Type as 'ELAN'.
  
  NOTE: Dual Homing and Enable LLF parameters are displayed only when the service type is selected as ELINE. Service Type should always be ELAN for broadcast storm control profile.
3. Select the Forwarding Type as .1q or .1ad.
4. Do one of the following:
  > To create the service in Non Qos Domain, select the Domain as 'Non Qos Domain'.
