Specifying Devices and Filters in the Wizard for Creating a Service Recovery Request

 

After you select a service definition to create a service recovery request, you can specify the devices and filters to associate with the service recovery request. The Rule Parameters page of the wizard displays the devices and filters, with the devices listed in the Name column. You can specify a VCID Range and RouteTarget Range to complete the definition of the service recovery profile search.

To specify the rule parameters in the service recovery request creation wizard:

  1. From the View selector, select Service View.

    The workspaces that are applicable to routing and tunnel services are displayed.

  2. Click the Build icon in Service View of the Connectivity Services Director banner.

    The functionalities that you can configure in Build mode are displayed on the Tasks pane.

    This field is displayed for all the service types.

    Specify the route target range within which services are to be recovered. You can express the range in Autonomous System number format or IPv4 format:

    • AS number format—Autonomous system (AS) number format:<l2vpn-id:as-number:2-byte-number>. For example, 100:200. The AS number can be in the range from 1 through 65,535.

    • IPv4 format—<l2vpn-id:ip-address:2-byte-number>. For example, l2vpn-id:10.1.1.1:2. Make sure that this value is lower than the value specified as the maximum route target allowed.

    Note: The Route target parameter enables you to change the route target range for services that had been configured previously outside of the context of Junos Space.

    VPLS ID Range

    This field is displayed if you have selected an E-LAN service definition.

  8. When you complete defining the Service Recovery Profile, proceed to Reviewing the Configured Settings in the Wizard for Creating a Service Recovery Request.

    Alternatively, click Done to trigger the service recovery operation.

    The Connectivity Services Director application fetches the latest device configuration. It then processes the device configuration to derive the configuration of selected service types. A message is displayed to denote that the service recovery request is being saved in the database.
