Modifying a Multipoint Ethernet Service

For a multipoint service, you can change the bandwidth or MTU of a specific UNI, add or delete a UNI, or add a new device endpoint.

You cannot change the interface of an existing UNI. Neither can you change the S VLAN ID.

To perform the equivalent of changing the interface on an existing UNI, add a new UNI with the desired interface, and then delete the old UNI.

Modifying a service creates a new service order based on the attribute settings of the existing service.

The following topics provide instructions for modifying a multipoint Ethernet (VPLS) service:

• Adding an Endpoint
• Adding a UNI Interface
• Deleting a UNI Interface and Deleting an Endpoint
• Changing the Endpoint Bandwidth

Adding an Endpoint

To add an endpoint to a multipoint Ethernet 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 inventory, select the service to which you want to add an endpoint.
4. In the Actions panel, select Modify Service.

   Current service settings appear in the main display area. The General Settings box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

   
5. In the Service order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
6. In the Endpoint Settings table, click Add Endpoints, as shown in the following example:

   The Add Endpoint PE Devices screen shows available N-PE devices that are not part of the service.

   
7. Select the devices on which you want to add new endpoints, and then click Next.

   The service modification screen shows the added devices with system recommended choices for UNI. To select a different UNI, see Adding a UNI Interface. To select a different bandwidth than the applied default, see Changing the Endpoint Bandwidth.

8. Click Modify.
9. In the Deployment Options window, select one of the following:
   • Save the change without scheduling it.
   • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.
   • Schedule the change for later deployment.
10. Click OK.
11. Use the Jobs workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment. See Viewing Scheduled Jobs for details.

Adding a UNI Interface

To add a UNI on a device that is already part of a multipoint Ethernet 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 inventory, select the service to which you want to add a UNI.
4. In the Actions panel, select Modify Service.

   Current service settings appear in the main display area. The General Settings box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

5. In the Service order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
6. In the Action column of the Endpoint Settings table, click Add UNI Interface for the device, as shown in the following example, which adds a UNI to the device named SFO.

   An additional UNI appears in the endpoint table.

7. Select an interface from the UNI Interface column:
8. Click Modify.
9. In the Deployment Options window, select one of the following:
   • Save the change without scheduling it.
   • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.
   • Schedule the change for later deployment.
10. Click OK.
11. Use the Jobs workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment. See Viewing Scheduled Jobs for details.

Deleting a UNI Interface and Deleting an Endpoint

To delete a UNI from a multipoint Ethernet 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 inventory, select the service from which you want to delete a UNI.
4. In the Actions panel, select Modify Service.

   Current service settings appear in the main display area. The General Settings box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

5. In the Service order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
6. In the Action column of the Endpoint Settings table, find the UNI you want to delete and click Delete UNI Interface for that table row, as shown in the following example:

   The selected UNI is removed from the table. If the deleted UNI was the only UNI selected on that device, then the device is deleted from the Endpoint Settings table.

7. Click Modify.
8. In the Deployment Options window, select one of the following:
   • Save the change without scheduling it.
   • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.
   • Schedule the change for later deployment.
9. Click OK.
10. Use the Jobs workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment. See Viewing Scheduled Jobs for details.

Changing the Endpoint Bandwidth

To change the rate limit or bandwidth for an endpoint of a multipoint Ethernet 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 inventory, select the service on which you want to change the bandwidth of an endpoint.
4. In the Actions panel, select Modify Service.

   Current service settings appear in the main display area. The General Settings box contains a unique name for the service order that will request the change.

5. In the Service order name field, change the name of the modification service order, if desired.
6. In the Action column of the endpoint Settings table, click on the Bandwidth entry for the UNI on which you want to change the bandwidth, as shown:
7. From the list of valid bandwidth settings, select the one you want, and then click Modify.
8. In the Deployment Options window, select one of the following:
   • Save the change without scheduling it.
   • Schedule the change for immediate deployment.
   • Schedule the change for later deployment.
9. Click OK.
10. Use the Jobs workspace to monitor the progress and status of the deployment. See Viewing Scheduled Jobs for details.
