Viewing Point-to-Point Ethernet Services as Graphics

You can view thumbnail, quick look, and detailed information about services on your network. Typically, you use this feature to determine which services need attention.

To view the services on your network, 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. To display the service inventory in graphical form, in the filter bar, select the thumbnail view icon.

   The services appear in the main display area of the screen, each represented by an icon that also shows its name. The following example shows a sample service inventory of point-to-point services.

   

   From the thumbnail, you can see whether a service is a point-to-point Ethernet service, a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service, or a point-to-multipoint Ethernet service. In Figure 1, the thumbnail on the left shows one service endpoint either side of the service order, indicating a point-to-point service. The thumbnail in the center shows three service endpoints either side of the service order, indicating a multipoint-to-multipoint VPLS service. The thumbnail on the right shows one service endpoint to the left and three to the right, indicating a point-to-multipoint VPLS service.

   This topic describes point-to-point services. For details about viewing VPLS services, see Viewing Multipoint Ethernet Services as Graphics.

   Figure 1: Service Thumbnails

   

   Each service thumbnail can include decorations that show the deployed state of the service and its audit state. The deployed state is indicated by a symbol in the top left corner of the thumbnail. The audit state is indicated by a symbol in the upper right corner. Table 1 explains the thumbnail decoration that represents a deployed state.

   Table 1: Service Deployment State Decoration

   Decoration	Meaning
   	Deployed—A service does not exist until it is deployed.

   Table 2 explains each of the thumbnail decorations that represent an audit state.

   Table 2: Service Audit Status Decorations

   Decoration	Meaning
   	Up—Service passed a functional audit.
   	Down—Service failed a functional audit.

4. To restrict the display of services, enter a search criterion of one or more characters in the search bar and press Enter. All services that match the search criterion appear in the main display area.
5. For a quick look view of a specific service, click the service icon. Summary information about the service appears in the right panel:
   • Name—Unique name assigned to the service.
   • Type—Point-to-point Ethernet (LDP) or VPLS.
   • State—one of:
     • Deployed—Service does not exist until it is deployed.
     • Failed Deploy—An attempt to modify the service failed.
   • Status—One of the following values:
     • Up—Service passed functional audit.
     • Down—Service failed functional audit.
     • Pending Functional Audit—Service is deployed but a functional audit has not yet been performed, or the service has been modified since the last functional audit was performed.
   • Customer—Name of the customer the service is provided for.
   • Activation time—Date and time the service was activated.
   • Last modification—Date and time at which the service was last modified.
6. To view XML coding of the service configuration, click View Service Configuration, and then select a device. An example output follows:

8. To view details about the service itself, click on the information box above the graphic. Details about the service appear in the quick look panel to the right, as shown in the following example:
9. To view details about an endpoint, click on the box that represents the endpoint. Endpoint details appear in the quick view panel, as shown in the following example:
   
10. To view connectivity details, click on the cloud. The following connectivity details appear in the quick look panel:
    • The unique virtual circuit ID used by this service.
    • The MTU for the connectivity.

Viewing Multipoint Ethernet Services as Graphics

You can view thumbnail, quick look, and detailed information about services on your network. Typically, you will use this feature to view the state of services and determine which services need attention.

To view the services on your network, 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. To display the service inventory in graphical form, in the filter bar, select the thumbnail view icon.

   The service thumbnails appear in the main display area of the screen. A sample service inventory follows showing multipoint-to-multipoint services and point-to-multipoint services.

   

   From the thumbnail, you can see whether the service is a point-to-point Ethernet service, a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service, or a point-to-multipoint Ethernet service. In Figure 2, the thumbnail on the left shows one service endpoint either side of the service, indicating a point-to-point service. The thumbnail in the center shows three service endpoints either side of the service order, indicating a multipoint-to-multipoint VPLS service. The thumbnail on the right shows one service endpoint to the left and three to the right, indicating a point-to-multipoint VPLS service.

   This topic describes multipoint-to-multipoint and point-to-multipoint Ethernet services. For details about viewing point-to-point services, see Viewing Point-to-Point Ethernet Services as Graphics.

   Figure 2: Service Thumbnails

   

   Each service thumbnail can include decorations that show the deployed state of the service and its audit state. The deployed state is indicated in the upper-left corner of the thumbnail. The audit state is indicated in the upper-right corner. Table 3 explains the thumbnail decoration that represents a deployed state.

   Table 3: Service Deployment State Decoration

   Decoration	Meaning
