Modifying a Multipoint-to-Multipoint Ethernet Service

 

For a multipoint-to-multipoint service, you can change the bandwidth or MTU of a specific UNI, add or delete a UNI, change C-VLAN range values, and change advanced settings for a device endpoint or add a new device endpoint.

You cannot change the interface of an existing UNI. Neither can you change the service VLAN ID.

To perform the equivalent of changing the interface on an existing UNI, add a new UNI with the desired interface, and then delete the old UNI.

After modifying a service, the configuration audit and functional audit information is cleared and the functional audit status is set to pending.

Modifying a service creates a new service order based on the attribute settings of the existing service.

Note

When you modify a service or a service order, the read-only fields in the different pages of the wizard for service or service order modification are grayed out to indicate that you cannot modify those attributes.

The following topics provide instructions for modifying a multipoint-to-multipoint (full mesh) Ethernet service:

Adding an Endpoint

To add an endpoint to a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service:

  1. in the Network Services > Connectivity view pane, select Service Provisioning > Manage Services.
  2. In the Manage Services page, select the service to which you want to add an endpoint.
  3. Click Modify at the top of the table of listed service orders.

    Current service settings appear in the main display area. The General Information box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

  4. In the service Order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
  5. If you have configured the CFM, the Service Parameters panel provides an option to disable the CFM service. You can select the Disable CFM check box to disable the CFM service, if desired.

    If you have not configured the CFM, the Service Parameters panel provides an option to enable the CFM service. You can select the CFM definition from the OAM Profile list, if desired.

  6. Click the Node Settings button to view the endpoints or devices that are associated with the service.
  7. In the Service Nodes table, click Add.

    The Choose Endpoints window shows available N-PE devices that are not part of the service.

  8. Select the devices on which you want to add new endpoints, then click OK. You are returned to the Node Settings page of the Manage Service Orders wizard.

    To filter and sort the display of objects, enter the name of the object as a match criterion in the Search box and click the Search icon. The page refreshes to display only the object names that match with the search term. You can use the paging controls to navigate across multiple pages of objects as necessary.

    Based on the devices you select in the top half of the dialog box, the interfaces that are present in the selected device are displayed in the lower half of the dialog box. Select the check boxes next to the interfaces that you want to associate with the service.

    The service modification window shows the added devices with system recommended choices for UNI. To select a different UNI, see Adding a UNI Interface. To select a different bandwidth than the applied default, see Changing the Endpoint Bandwidth.

  9. Click Finish to complete the modification of the service order and save the settings.
  10. In Deploy mode of the Service View of the Connectivity Services Director, select one of the following from the Manage Services page:
    • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.

    • Schedule the change for later deployment.

  11. Click OK.
  12. Use the System > Manage Jobs > Job Management workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment. Note

    Alternatively, to display the Job Management page, from the Junos Space Platform UI, select Jobs > Manage Jobs from the Tasks pane. You can also view the CSD Deployment Jobs page in Deploy mode of Service View by selecting the View Deployment Jobs option in the task pane.

Adding a UNI Interface

To add a UNI on a device that is already part of a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service:

  1. in the Network Services > Connectivity view pane, select Service Provisioning > Manage Services.
  2. In the Manage Services page, select the service to which you want to add a UNI.
  3. Click Modify at the top of the table of listed service orders.

    Current service settings appear in the main display area. The Service Parameters box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

  4. In the service Order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
  5. Click the Site/Endpoint Settings button to view the interfaces on endpoints or devices that are associated with the service.
  6. In the User-to-Network Interfaces table, click Add.

    The Choose Endpoints window shows available N-PE devices that are not part of the service.

  7. Select the devices on which you want to add new interfaces. The window refreshes to display all the user-to-network (UNI) or ingress interfaces for the selected device in the lower part of the window as a tabular grid. Select the interfaces that you want to assign to the service order, and then click OK.

    To filter and sort the display of objects, enter the name of the object as a match criterion in the Search box and click the Search icon. The page refreshes to display only the object names that match with the search term. You can use the paging controls to navigate across multiple pages of objects as necessary.

    You are returned to the Node Settings page of the Manage Service Orders wizard.

    The service modification window shows the added devices with system recommended choices for UNI. To select a different bandwidth than the applied default, see Changing the Endpoint Bandwidth.

  8. If the interface you selected in the previous step is already configured (duplicate) you must either manually enter a different value in the service VLAN ID fields, or check the Autopick VLAN ID field.
  9. Select an interface from the UNI Interface column.

  10. Click Finish to complete the modification of the service order and save the settings.
  11. In Deploy mode of the Service View of the Connectivity Services Director, select one of the following from the Manage Services page:
    • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.

    • Schedule the change for later deployment.

  12. Click OK.
  13. Use the System > Manage Jobs > Job Management workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment.Note

    Alternatively, to display the Job Management page, from the Junos Space Platform UI, and select Jobs > Manage Jobs from the Tasks pane. You can also view the CSD Deployment Jobs page in Deploy mode of Service View by selecting the View Deployment Jobs option in the task pane.

Deleting a UNI Interface and Deleting an Endpoint

To delete a UNI from a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service:

  1. in the Network Services > Connectivity view pane, select Service Provisioning > Manage Services.
  2. In the Manage Services page, select the service from which you want to delete a UNI.
  3. Click Modify at the top of the table of listed service orders.

    Current service settings appear in the main display area. The Service Parameters page contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

  4. In the service Order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
  5. Click the Site/Endpoint Settings button to view the interfaces on endpoints or devices that are associated with the service.
  6. In the User-to-Network Interfaces table, select the interfaces that you want to remove from being assigned to the service order, and click Delete at the top of the table.

    The selected UNI is removed from the table. If the deleted UNI was the only UNI selected on that device, then the device is deleted from the Endpoint Settings table.

  7. Click Finish to save the modified service order.
  8. In Deploy mode of the Service View of the Connectivity Services Director, select one of the following from the Manage Services page:
    • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.
