   A list of UNI devices is displayed.

3. Select the check boxes beside the UNIs that you want to associate with the service order and click Ok. You can select more than one UNI.

   The table now displays the UNI interfaces configured on the selected device.

To delete a UNI Interface from a selected device, select the check box next to the interface you want to delete, and click the Delete button above the table.

Setting Attributes for UNIs or Sites

If there is a service template attached to the service definition, there is a link to that template at the bottom of the Site Settings section of the screen. For instructions on working with service templates in service orders, see Creating a Service Order Based on a Service Definition with a Template.

This part of the create Ethernet service order procedure sets the attributes for each UNI or interface in the service. Selection is made using the Site Settings screen.

The interface shown in the UNI Interface field is automatically selected by the Connectivity Services Director application, which chooses the UNI that has the highest available capacity among interfaces that are in the Up state. To calculate the available capacity of the interface, the system subtracts the bandwidth reserved for each service deployed on that interface from the total capacity of the interface.

For each endpoint, the Site Settings page shows the value for each UNI attribute.

1. To modify the device settings, select the device by clicking the check box next to it.

   The row is highlighted in blue.

Specifying QoS Settings

CoS profiles enable the grouping of class-of-service (CoS) parameters and apply them to one or more interfaces. Connectivity Services Director provides you with predefined traffic types for each CoS profile that you create. These traffic types represent the most common types of traffic for the device type. Each of these templates has preconfigured values for all CoS parameters based on the typical application requirements. You can change the preconfigured values of these parameters to suit your requirements. To display the CoS Profiles page, in Build mode, select CoS under Profile and Configuration Management in the Tasks pane. The Manage CoS Profiles page appears.

If QoS is enabled on the service definition, configure the QoS Settings of the Site Settings panel of the service order creation wizard.

1. In the QoS profile field, select a profile from the list.

   The QoS profile list displays the QoS profiles that are currently configured in the Manage CoS Profiles page of the Connectivity Services Director application.

   A QoS profile classifies traffic into defined service groups to provide the special treatment of traffic across the network service.

Specifying Template Settings

The Template Settings page of the service order creation and modification wizards enables you to associate service templates with an E-Line, E-LAN, and IP service order. You can apply only the templates that are previously configured in a service definition with the corresponding service order. The Template Settings page is available in the service order wizard only if the service definition that you selected to apply to the service order contains a service template. Otherwise, the Template Settings page is not displayed in the service order wizard. You can perform template operations for all endpoints in a service order.

If you defined a service template as the default service template, it is attached to the endpoint by default. You have the flexibility to create and provision a dynamic attribute in a service template. You can mark an attribute of a service template as dynamic, and you can obtain the values for these dynamic attributes from a specific device. To create a dynamic attribute, you must first mark an attribute of a service template as dynamic and then specify the device XPath for the dynamic attribute.

The Template Settings page is displayed before the Review page, which is the final step of the service order wizard.

In the Service Settings page of the Select Service Definition field of the service order creation wizard, you can double-click a service definition name displayed in the table to view the details of the definition in a popup dialog box. You can use this information to determine if the service definition is appropriate for your deployment needs. To filter and sort the display of service templates, enter the name of the template as a match criterion in the Search box and click the Search icon. The page refreshes to display only the template names that match with the search term. You can use the paging controls to navigate across multiple pages of templates as necessary.

All the tasks that you can perform with service templates are presented in the Template Settings page. The page is divided into three panes. The top half of the page displays a table of selected endpoints. All the endpoints or UNIs that you selected in the preceding pages of the service order wizard are displayed in this table. You can configure the template pertaining to only one endpoint at a point in time. If the selected endpoints (in previous pages of the wizard) contained a manually-entered unit number, that number is displayed in the table of selected endpoints. Otherwise, the Auto-pick label is displayed.

The lower half of the page is divided into two panes. The left pane displays the template selection table for the endpoint you selected. All the templates associated with the service definition are displayed. You can add and delete templates using the template selection table. The right pane displays all the parameters that you can modify for a selected service template. All such editable paramters are displayed in a consolidated form of a configuration page. This pane is displayed after you select a template. If any configuration parameter in template is set as a service-specific value, such attributes are not displayed in this pane.

1. Click Add to include a service template for the endpoint. The templates selected in this dialog box are displayed in the Template Selection table for the specified endpoint. Such templates are considered to be attached to that endpoint.

   When you click Add, a dialog box is displayed with the list of service templates associated with the service definition that is used to create the service order. If you specified a template as a default template during the service definition creation, the template is displayed by default in the template selection table. You can associate non-default templates with the serviceo rder by clicking the Add button.

2. Click the link in the template name to open the Template Details dialog box. The template settings are displayed in the popup dialog box. For the selected template, the Configuration Page is displayed in the lower-right pane of the Template Settings page.
3. Modify any template-specific service components as necessary.
4. Click Save to submit the changes.
5. Select a template from the Template Selection table, and click Delete to remove the template from being associated with the service order for a particular endpoint.

Reviewing the Configured Settings

You can examine and modify the created service order parameters in the Review page of the Create IP Service Order wizard.

If you want to modify a particular section in the review page, click the Edit button corresponding to that section.

Click Done to save the service order. The Confirmation dialogue box appears.

Deploying the New Service

• Choose Save & Validate to validate the service.

• Choose Save & Deploy to deploy the service immediately.

The service order is now complete.
