Creating Public and Private LSPs
Managing Public LSPs by using NorthStar Controller
From Connectivity Services Director Release 3.0 onward, you can manage public LSPs that are created by using Tunnel services, through NorthStar Controller. These LSPs can be used by any service or service instance deployed on a device and are not specific to a service.
If the Enable NorthStar Manangement check box is selected in Preferences, the LSPs are created through Connectivity Service Director and deployed on the device by using NorthStar Controller.
For information on creating a public LSP service definition, see Creating an LSP Service Definition.
For information on creating a public LSP service order, see Creating an LSP Service Order.
Creating Private LSPs by Using Connectivity Services Director
From Connectivity Services Director Release 3.0 onward, you can create LSPs that are specific to a service.
The LSP association check box in the General Settings tab of the service order creation workflow enables you to create or associate LSPs specific to the service you choose.
If there are several terms mapping different VPNs to different LSPs, there must be a corresponding except keyword at the end of the policy statement to prevent the mapping of other VPNs to the LSPs.
Sample Policy
policy-statement lsp-install {
term 0 {
from community VPN1;
then {
install-nexthop lsp testlsp
accept;
}
}
term 1 {
then {
install-nexthop except lsp testlsp
}
}
}
Alternatively, you can use the associate keyword to associate the LSP, instead of the except keyword.
