Create .1q/.1ad service

TJ5500 supports the MEF standard services using .1q/.1ad. This section explains the procedure for simple .1q/.1ad service creation. GPON service and CEM service creation in .1q/.1ad is explained in detail in further sections.

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

Go to Configuration > Layer 2 > Services menu and click Complete Services option. Complete Services page is displayed.
Click (Create Service). A series of new windows will now be displayed for step-by step creation of a service.

Step 1: General Attributes
1. Enter a name for the service in Service Name text box and select the Technologies as .1q/.1ad.
  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.
2. Select values for remaining parameters as desired by referring to table General Attributes. Click Next.

Step 2: Adding End Points
1. Click Add on End Points page to choose the end points and the UNI ports for the service.
2. Under Network element column, select the desired node as 'endpoint' followed by selecting a UNI port.
  There are two ways of searching the desired node from the list explained as follows:
  
  > Enter the IP address/user label of the node in the text box provided and click (Search Node by IP Address or UserLabel). Or,
  
  > Click (Add switches using map view) and select desired NEs from the Topology selection window launched. Click Done.
3. Do one of the following for the selected UNI port,
  > If Domain is selected as 'Non Qos Domain' or 'All Domain' in General Attributes page, enter the VLAN value only for regular mode or select the check box under All column for Transparent mode. For All Domain the UNI port can be associated with TCProfile and CoS-0.
  
  > If Domain is selected as 'Qos Domain', enter the VLAN value and associate a Priority Mapping Profile or DSCP Mapping Profile or a pair of TCProfile and COS values.
  
  To view the bandwidth utilization, click View BW. View Port BW Utilization window is displayed with the bandwidth utilization details of Ingress and Egress Port.
  
  To view the used VLAN range, click Show Used VLans. View Used VLAN Range(s) window is displayed with a list of used VLAN values for the selected port.
4. Click Add Uni.
5. Similarly, repeat step a to d (of Step 2: Adding End Points) to add another end point to the service.
  An ELine service must have two end points as shown in the following figure:
  
  NOTE: If the Dual Homed check box is selected on General Attributes page for an ELINE service, then the Dual Homed check box has to be selected for one of the end point while adding the end points.
6. Click Next.

Refer End Points parameters table in the topic Create MPLS-TP service for description of parameters on End Points page.

Step 3: Backup Nodes
Backup Nodes window is displayed when Dual Homed check box is selected on General Attributes page for an ELINE service. Click Add Backup and select the node and the UNI port. Click Add Uni and Ok. The backup node for the selected primary node gets added. Click Next. Topology Selection page is displayed.
Step 4: Topology Selection
1. Select the path/link between the two end points (highlighted in black). If the link is in collapsed form, double-click the link to expand and then select the desired link. The link will be highlighted in pink.
2. Select Include Ring check box if you want to add a ring to the service.
3. Do one of the following:
  > To automatically add the NNI(VLAN) value, select the Auto check box and click Add Path. When Auto NNI (VLAN) is checked, the NMS suggests the NNI(VLAN) value. The same VLAN ID for UNI will be copied to NNI.
  
  > To manually add the NNI(VLAN) value, un-check the Auto check box and enter the NNI(VLAN) value. Click Add Path.
4. On adding path to the service, Reset Path option is displayed. Click Reset Path to undo the add path operation, if desired. A confirmation message will be displayed. Click OK.
5. Click Next. Advanced Configuration page is displayed.
  NOTE: If the user makes any changes in the general attributes, add UNIs or path selection mode; the added path will be deleted and Add Path option will replace Reset Path.
  
  If the NNI Vlan value falls within the Data VID of a provisioned ring, the user will receive an alert message to check the Include Ring option else change the UNI/NNI Vlan Value or Path.
Exclude Data

Exclude Data window is displayed instead of Topology Selection only when Path Selection is set as 'Auto Discover' in General Attributes page.

Exclude Data window

To add restrictions for auto path finding, click Add. The topology view is displayed.
Select the desired nodes/switches and click Exclude Nodes. Select the desired links and click Exclude Links. The selected nodes and links will not appear in service path.
Click Done. The Exclude Data window is displayed with the excluded Switches and Links under the respective tabs as shown in the following figure:
When Auto check box is selected, the NMS suggests the NNI(VLAN) value which is the VLAN ID for UNI. Same will be copied to NNI. If the user unchecks the Auto check box, the desired NNI(VLAN) value has to be entered in the text box provided.
Click Next. Advanced Configuration page is displayed.

Step 5: Advance Configuration

Advance Configuration window displayed when Enable LLF check box is selected in the General Attributes page. Enter the values against the desired attributes and click Next.

Create .1q/.1ad Service- Step 5 (Advanced Configuration- LLF)

NOTE: An error will be displayed if LLF is not supported on the source and destination nodes.

Advance Configuration window is displayed when the Service Type is selected as 'ELAN' in the General Attributes page. To enable, select Enable Broadcast/MultiCast Storm Control check box and enter the BroadCast/Multicast Stormcontrol value in Mbps. The minimum value is 66Kbps.

Create .1q_.1ad Service- Step 4 (Advanced Configuration- Storm Control Configuration and CFM)

Step 7: Summary

On Summary page of Create Service, the end points with the connecting link is displayed as shown in the following figure:

Create .1q/.1ad Service- Step 7 (Summary)

From the drop down menu, select Create to create the service or Create and Activate to create and activate the service as desired.
Click Finish. A success message is displayed. Service creation command is sent successfully.
Click OK.

NOTE: This procedure is applicable for creating ELAN service in .1q/.1ad where more than two end points can be selected.

To create a .1q/.1ad service having EPL objects, first create an EPL object at node level. Then in NMS, at Adding End Points step, after selecting the desired port, uncheck the check box under All column and enter the VLAN value for that port. The same port having EPL object can be used for creating other service with a different VLAN value.
