Provisioning Pseudowires

Pseudowire is the emulation of native services (such as TDM and ATM) over packet-switched services (such as IP and MPLS) networks. When you configure a pseudowire, the packets travel over a PSN tunnel, which is either a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel.

Before you can provision pseudowires, you must:

• Install IPBackhaul Manager license.
• Configure IP address for Io0.0 Interface of the device
• Configure NETCONF over SSH access methods
• Configure MPLS or GRE tunnels.

This chapter gives an overview of the Provisioning tab, and explains the configurations required of provisioning pseudowires.

This chapter includes the following topics:

• The Provisioning Tab
• Configuring MPLS and GRE Tunnels
• Provisioning Pseudowires
• Filtering and Testing Pseudowires
