Add L2 Circuit Service Post Update Placements Parameters

You can configure placement parameters for the L2 circuit service when you are creating or modifying the service instance. Use Update Placements button on the VPN Nodes page to automatically assign possible placement options for the service instance.

Before adding the Update Placements parameters, you must create an L2 circuit service instance and add general and VPN nodes details about the service. See Add an L2 Circuit Service Instance and Add L2 Circuit VPN Nodes.

To configure placement parameters:

  1. Click the Update Placements button on top of the VPN Nodes page and click Yes when prompted to confirm.

    The service instance is saved to the Routing Director database. The saved instance is listed in the Service Instances table on the Service Instances page.

    Service orchestration automatically assigns possible PE device interface placement options for the service instance. After placement options are assigned, a confirmation message appears indicating that the placement was successfully updated.

  2. To configure the placement parameters, select the node for which you want to configure placement parameters, and click the edit (pencil) icon.

    The VPN Node page appears.

  3. Click Next to go to Network Accesses page, select the network access ID, and click the edit (pencil) icon.
    The Configure Network Access page appears.
  4. Configure the placement parameters by referring to the following table:
    Table 1: Placement Parameter

    Field

    Description

    Port ID

    Click the drop-down to view the updated interface placement options. Select the PE device interface that connects to the CE device. For example, et-0/0/1.

    The list displays tagged interfaces when you select dot1q as the L2 access type and untagged interfaces when you do not select the L2 access type.
  5. Edit the placement parameters for service stitching:

    • If you selected stitching-endpoint as the Access Type on the Configure Network Access page, edit the Placement Service Stitching Creator parameters by referring to the following table:

      Table 2: Placement Service Stitching Creator Parameters
      Field Description

      PE

      Select the PE device where the logical tunnel interface is created.

      Logical Tunnel

      Select the logical tunnel interface (for example, lt-0/0/0) created for service stitching.

      Left Range

      Select the range of logical tunnel subinterfaces (for example, range-2) from which the subinterface for initiating the service stitch is allocated.

      Left Unit

      Enter the subinterface on the left-side of the logical tunnel interface.

      Right Range

      Select the range of logical tunnel subinterfaces (for example, range-1) from which the subinterface for terminating the service stitch is allocated.

      Right Unit

      Enter the subinterface on the right-side of the logical tunnel interface.

    • If you selected service as the Access Type on the Configure Network Access page, edit the Placement Service Stitching Connector parameters by referring to the following table:

      Table 3: Placement Service Stitching Connector Parameters
      Field Description
