Predefined Hub-and Spoke Layer 3 VPN Service Definitions

 

The Network Activate software provides predefined service definitions that use BGP or OSPF routing protocols that you, the service provisioner, can use to create a service order. You must have a Service Designer user role to use Layer 3 VPN hub-and-spoke service definitions.

You view predefined and custom service definitions in the Service Design >Manage Service Definitions inventory page. You can view service definition details or attributes in the Manage Service Definitions inventory page by double-clicking the service definition.

You can also view service instance details by selecting Service Provisioning > Manage Service Orders.

Table 1 describes the predefined or standard hub-and-spoke (one interface) service definitions and their preconfigured service attributes. You can not reconfigure attributes in these predefined services. However, if you need custom attributes, create a new hub-and-spoke service definition to use, as described in Creating a Layer 3 VPN Hub-and-Spoke Service Definition.
