Provisioning Pseudowires

This chapter describes how to provision pseudowires to devices in JUNOScope. A pseudowire is a circuit defined by two end point devices on which legacy traffic can be transported over IP/MPLS network. Pseudowire provisioning is the process of creating, modifying or deleting pseudowires between end points and pushing the configurations corresponding to the pseudowire to the devices. JUNOScope supports the provisioning of both LDP-based Layer 2 Circuit and BGP-based Layer 2 virtual packet network (Layer 2 VPN) pseudowires.

Pseudowire provisioning involves the following steps:

1. Creating templates for pseudowires
2. Selecting Device Source and Source/Destination Endpoint devices
3. Creating, modifying, or deleting pseudowires between end points
4. Confirming Selections
5. Generating configuration for pseudowires generated in step 2 and provision pseudowires by pushing configurations generated in step 3 to boxes
6. Filtering, viewing, and testing pseudowires

• Provisioning Layer 2 Circuit Pseudowires
• Provisioning Layer 2 VPN Pseudowires
