View Summary and Provision an L3VPN Service

Routing Director enables you to view the summary of the site and site network access details that you added to the L3VPN service in the summary section. For example, locations, devices, access diversity, connections, placement parameters, and so on. You can then save and provision the service.

On the Summary page:

  1. You can view a graphical map of your service topology and a summary of the instance details in the Summary section.
  2. (Optional) Click Export to export and save the service details in JSON format on your local system.
  3. (Optional) Click Reset Placements to remove existing placement configurations for the service instance.

    Provisioning of a service instance might fail when existing placement configurations for the service instance are no longer available or applicable. When you reset placement parameters, service orchestration automatically assigns placement options for the instance before provisioning the service.

  4. Click Next to proceed to the Schedule section.
  5. (Optional) Switch the Schedule toggle on if you want to schedule when to provision the service. The Schedule option is disabled by default. When you schedule provisioning, the Save & Provision button on top of the page is disabled and grayed out.

    The Schedule field appears. Perform the following steps to schedule the date and time to provision the service:

    1. Click the calendar icon in the Schedule field.
    2. Select the date and time for provisioning the service, and click OK.
      The scheduled date and time are displayed in the MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM format.
      Note:
      • You must set a present or future date and time to schedule provisioning of a service. If you select a past time and save the service order, the service is provisioned immediately.

      • To delete a provisioning schedule, select the service-instance-name on the Service Instances page and click the edit icon. On the Modify Service-Instance-Name page, proceed to the Schedule section. In the Schedule section, switch the Schedule toggle off and click Save. The provisioning schedule is deleted and the service instance is provisioned immediately.

  6. To save and provision the service instance, click one of the following buttons:
    • Save & Provision—Click this button and confirm when prompted, to save the service instance to the Routing Director database and provision the instance immediately. This option is disabled if you have scheduled the provisioning of a service instance.

    • Save—Click this button to save the service instance to the Routing Director database.

      The Service Instances page appears and the new service instance is listed in the Service Instances table. To provision the service instance, select the service instance name and click Provision. Alternatively, you can schedule provisioning of the service instance as defined in step 5.

      Note:

      The Provision button is disabled if you schedule the provisioning of a service instance. The service is provisioned automatically at the scheduled date and time.

    Provisioning a service creates a corresponding service order. View the status of your service provisioning on the Service Orders page (Orchestration > Service Order). See About the Service Orders Page.
