Distributed Epipe Service

Note:

SDPs are supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode.

To configure a distributed Epipe service, you must configure service entities on the originating and far-end nodes. You must use the same service ID on both ends (for example, Epipe 5500 on ALA-1 and Epipe 5500 on ALA-2). The spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id must match on both sides. A distributed Epipe consists of two SAPs on different nodes.

By default, QoS policy ID 1 is applied to ingress service SAPs. On egress, QoS policies are associated with a port. Existing filter policies can be associated with service SAPs on ingress and egress.

Meters (defined in SAP-ingress policies) can be applied on ingress, which is associated with SAPs. Scheduler policies can be applied on egress, which is associated with a port.

Ingress and egress SAP parameters can be applied to local and distributed Epipe service SAPs.

For SDP configuration information, see Configuring an SDP. For SDP binding information, see Configuring SDP bindings.

The following example configures a distributed service between ALA-1 and ALA-2:

A:ALA-1>epipe 5500 customer 5 create
     config>service>epipe$ description "Distributed epipe service to east coast"
     config>service>epipe# sap 221/1/3:21 create 
     config>service>epipe>sap# ingress
     config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# qos 555
     config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# filter ip 1
     config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# exit
     config>service>epipe>sap# no shutdown
     config>service>epipe>sap# exit
     config>service>epipe#

A:ALA-2>config>service# epipe 5500 customer 5 create
     config>service>epipe$ description "Distributed epipe service to west coast"
     config>service>epipe# sap 441/1/4:550 create
     config>service>epipe>sap# ingress
     config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# filter ip 1020
     config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# exit
     config>service>epipe>sap# egress
     config>service>epipe>sap>egress# filter ip 6
     config>service>epipe>sap>egress# exit
     config>service>epipe>sap# no shutdown
     config>service>epipe#

The following is a sample of the SAP configurations for ALA-1 and ALA-2:
