epipe

Syntax

epipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vpn vpn-id] [svc-sap-type {any | qinq-inner-tag-preserve}] [customer-vid vlan-id] [pbb-epipe]

no epipe service-id

Context

config>service

Platforms

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

Description

This command configures an Epipe service instance. This command is used to configure a point-to-point Epipe service. An Epipe connects two endpoints defined as Service Access Points (SAPs). In a local service, the SAPs may be defined in one 7210 SAS node and in distributed service the SAPs may be defined on two different 7210 SAS nodes.

On 7210 SAS, platforms operating in network mode, both local and distributed services are supported.

MAC learning and filtering are not supported on an Epipe service.

When a service is created, the customer keyword and customer-id parameter must be specified to associate the service with a customer. The customer-id value must already exist having been created using the customer command in the service context. When a service has been created with a customer association, it is not possible to edit the customer association. The service must be deleted and recreated with a new customer association.

When a service is created, the use of the customer customer-id command is optional for navigating into the service configuration context. Editing a service with the incorrect customer-id value specified results in an error.

The no form of this command deletes the Epipe service instance with the specified service-id. The service cannot be deleted until the service has been shut down and all instances of SAPs, mesh, or spokes have been deleted from the service.

Default

No Epipe services exist until they are explicitly created with this command.

Parameters

service-id

The unique service identification number or string identifying the service in the service domain. This ID must be unique to this service and may not be used for any other service of any type. The service-id must be the same number used for every 7210 SAS on which this service is defined.

Values

service-id: 1 to 2147483647

svc-name: 64 characters maximum

customer customer-id

Specifies the customer ID number to be associated with the service. This parameter is required on service creation and optional for service editing or deleting.

Values

1 to 2147483647

vpn vpn-id

Specifies the VPN ID number which allows you to identify virtual private networks (VPNs) by a VPN ID. If this parameter is not specified, the VPN ID uses the same service ID number.

Values

1 to 2147483647

Default

null (0)

svc-sap-type

Specifies the service type and the allowed SAPs in the service. When the pbb-epipe keyword is not configured, a plain Epipe service can be configured with SAPs and SDPs.

Values

any - Specifies that all supported SAPs are allowed in the service. See sectionQinQ SAP Configuration Restrictions for 7210 SAS platforms in network operating mode for information about restrictions related to QinQ SAPs.

qinq-inner-tag-preserve - Specifies that an Epipe service processes and forwards packets received with 3 or more tags on a QinQ SAP. See Processing packets received with more than two tags on a QinQ SAP in Epipe service for more information.

Default

any

create

Keyword used to create the service instance. The create keyword requirement can be enabled or disabled in the environment>create context.

pbb-epipe

Specifies a PBB Epipe service, which allows the software to allocate the appropriate resources for PBB Epipe. Only SAPs can be configured with a PBB Epipe service.

Note:

PBB and the pbb-epipe keyword are supported only on 7210 SAS-T operating in the network mode.

epipe

Syntax

epipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vpn vpn-id] [svc-sap-type {null-star | dot1q-preserve | any | dot1q-range}] [customer-vid vlan-id]

no epipe service-id

Context

config>service

Platforms

Only supported on 7210 SAS platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode

Description

This command configures an Epipe service instance. This command is used to configure a point-to-point Epipe service. An Epipe connects two endpoints defined as SAPs. In a local service, the SAPs may be defined in one 7210 SAS node and in distributed service the SAPs may be defined on two different 7210 SAS nodes.

Note:

Distributed services are only supported on 7210 SAS platforms operating in the network mode. 7210 SAS platforms operating in access-uplink mode only support local SAP-to-SAP service.

MAC learning and filtering are not supported on an Epipe service.

When a service is created, the customer keyword and customer-id parameter must be specified to associate the service with a customer. The customer-id parameter must already exist having been created using the customer command in the service context. When a service has been created with a customer association, it is not possible to edit the customer association. The service must be deleted and recreated with a new customer association.

When a service is created, the use of the customer customer-id command is optional for navigating into the service configuration context. Editing a service with the incorrect customer-id value specified results in an error.

The no form of this command deletes the Epipe service instance with the specified service-id value. The service cannot be deleted until it has been shut down and all instances of SAPs have been deleted from the service.

Default

No Epipe services exist until they are explicitly created with this command.

Parameters

service-id

Specifies the unique service identification number or string identifying the service in the service domain. The ID must be unique to the service and may not be used for any other service of any type. The service-id must be the same value for every 7210 SAS device on which this service is defined.

Values

service-id: 1 to 2147483647

svc-name: 64 characters maximum

customer customer-id

Specifies the customer ID to be associated with the service. This parameter is required on service creation and is optional for service editing or deletion.

Values

1 to 2147483647

vpn vpn-id

Specifies the VPN ID , which allows you to identify virtual private networks (VPNs). If this parameter is not specified, the VPN ID uses the same number as the service ID.

Values

1 to 2147483647

Default

null (0)

svc-sap-type

Specifies the service type and the SAPs allowed in the service.

Values

null-star - Specifies the allowed SAP in the service, which can be null SAP, dot1q default SAP, Q.* SAP, or default QinQ SAP (also known as *.* SAP).

dot1q-preserve - Specifies that the allowed access SAPs in the service are dot1q. The dot1q ID is not stripped after packets match the SAP.

dot1q-range - Specifies that the access SAP in the service can use VLAN ranges as the SAP tags. The VLAN ranges are configured using the configure>connection-profile CLI command. On ingress of the access dot1q SAP using VLAN ranges, the outermost tag is not removed before forwarding.

any - Specifies that the SAPs allowed in the service are defined as shown in Table: SAP and service combinations for 7210 SAS-T in access-uplink mode. See the SAP configuration notes for 7210 SAS platforms in access-uplink operating mode section for more information.

endpoint

Syntax

[no] endpoint endpoint-name

Context

config>service>epipe

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command configures a service endpoint.

Parameters

endpoint-name

Specifies an endpoint name.

active-hold-delay

Syntax

active-hold-delay active-hold-delay

no active-hold-delay

Context

config>service>epipe>endpoint

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command specifies that the node delays sending the change in the T-LDP status bits for the VLL endpoint when the MC-LAG transitions the LAG subgroup which hosts the SAP for this VLL endpoint from active to standby or when any object in the endpoint. For example, SAP, ICB, or regular spoke-SDP, transitions from up to down operational state.

By default, when the MC-LAG transitioned the LAG subgroup which hosts the SAP for this VLL endpoint from active to standby, the node sends immediately new T-LDP status bits indicating the new value of "standby" over the spoke-SDPs which are on the mate-endpoint of the VLL. The same applies when any object in the endpoint changes an operational state from up to down.

There is no delay applied to the VLL endpoint status bit advertisement when the MC-LAG transitions the LAG subgroup which hosts the SAP from "standby" to "active" or when any object in the endpoint transitions to an operationally up state.

Default

0 — A value of zero means that when the MC-LAG transitioned the LAG subgroup which hosts the SAP for this VLL endpoint from active to standby, the node sends immediately new T-LDP status bits indicating the new value of standby over the spoke-SDPs which are on the mate-endpoint of the VLL. The same applies when any object in the endpoint changes an operational state from up to down.

Parameters

active-hold-delay

Specifies the active hold delay in 100s of milliseconds.

Values

0 to 60

revert-time

Syntax

revert-time [revert-time | infinite]

no revert-time

Context

config>service>epipe>endpoint

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command configures the time to wait before reverting back to the primary spoke-SDP defined on this service endpoint, after having failed over to a backup spoke-SDP.

The no form of this command resets the timer to the default value of 0.

Parameters

revert-time

Specify the time, in seconds, to wait before reverting to the primary SDP.

Values

0 to 600

infinite

Causes the endpoint to be non-revertive.

standby-signaling-master

Syntax

[no] standby-signaling-master

Context

config>service>vll>endpoint

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command enables the pseudowire standby bit (value 0x00000020) to be sent to T-LDP peer for each spoke SPD of the endpoint that is selected as a standby.

This command is mutually exclusive with a VLL mate SAP created on an MC-LAG or ICB. It is also mutually exclusive with vc-switching.

Default

no standby-signaling-master

service-mtu

Syntax

service-mtu octets

no service-mtu

Context

config>service>epipe

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command configures the service payload (Maximum Transmission Unit – MTU), in bytes, for the service. This MTU value overrides the service-type default MTU. The service-mtu defines the payload capabilities of the service. It is used by the system to validate the SAP and SDP binding operational state within the service.

The service MTU and a SAP service delineation encapsulation overhead (i.e., 4 bytes for a dot1q tag) is used to derive the required MTU of the physical port or channel on which the SAP was created. If the required payload is larger than the port or channel MTU, the SAP is placed in an inoperative state. If the required MTU is equal to or less than the port or channel MTU, the SAP is able to transition to the operative state.

In the event that a service MTU, port or channel MTU, or path MTU is dynamically or administratively modified, then all associated SAP and SDP binding operational states are automatically re-evaluated.

The no form of this command returns the default service-mtu for the indicated service type to the default value.

Note: To disable service MTU check execute the command no service-mtu-check. Disabling service MTU check allows the packets to pass to the egress if the packet length is lesser than or equal to the MTU configured on the port.

Default

VPLS: 1514

The following table displays MTU values (in octets) for specific VC types.

service-name

Syntax

service-name service-name

no service-name

Context

config>service>epipe

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

This command configures an optional service name, up to 64 characters, which adds a name identifier to a specific service to then use that service name in configuration references as well as display and use service names in show commands throughout the system. This helps the service provider/administrator to identify and manage services within the 7210 SAS platforms.

All services are required to assign a service ID to initially create a service. However, either the service ID or the service name can be used o identify and reference a specific service when it is initially created.

Parameters

service-name

Specifies a unique service name to identify the service. Service names may not begin with an integer (0-9).

service-mtu-check

Syntax

[no] service-mtu-check

Context

config>service>epipe

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except those operating in access-uplink mode

Description

The no form of this command disables the service MTU check.

Disabling service MTU check allows the packets to pass to the egress if the packet length is lesser than or equal to the MTU configured on the port. The length of the packet sent from a SAP is limited only by the access port MTU. In case of a pseudowire the length of a packet is limited by the network port MTU (including the MPLS encapsulation).

Note:

If TLDP is used for signaling, the configured value for service-mtu is used during a pseudowire setup.

Default

enabled
