Modifying a Point-to-Point Service

You can modify the following entities of a point-to-point Ethernet service:

  • MTU across the network
  • Rate limiting bandwidth of an endpoint
  • MTU of an endpoint

To modify the attributes of a service, follow these steps:

  1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Service Provisioning workspace icon.
  2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Services task icon.
  3. In the Manage Services screen, select the service you want to modify.
  4. In the Actions panel, select Modify Service.

    A graphical image of the service appears, showing device images that represent the service endpoints and a cloud image that represents the network core. By default, the cloud image is selected, which displays general settings and connectivity information in the right panel. The General Settings box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.
