Configuring a VLL Service with CLI

This section provides the information required to configure Virtual Leased Line (VLL) services using the command line interface.

Topics in this section include:

Common Configuration Tasks

The following list provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure a VLL service.

  1. Associate the service with a customer ID.
  2. Define SAP parameters.
    1. Optional—select egress and ingress QoS policies (configured in the config>qos context)
    2. Optional—select ingress IP filter policies (for Epipes and Ipipes only)
  3. Define spoke SDP parameters.
    1. Optional—select egress and ingress vc label parameters
    2. Optional—explicitly assign spoke SDP endpoints for pseudowire (PW) redundancy applications
  4. Enable the service.

Configuring VLL Components

This section provides configuration examples for components of VLL services. Each component includes some or all of the following: introductory information, CLI syntax, a specific CLI example, and a sample CLI display output. Included are the following VLL components:

Configuring Apipe SAPs as Aggregation Group Members

Use the following CLI syntax to configure an Apipe SAP as a member of a SAP aggregation group. To add a SAP as a member of a SAP aggregation group, enter the sap-aggregation-group group-id command after the sap sap-id command. A SAP aggregation group can have up to 16 SAP members.

ATM attributes for aggregation group members can also be configured, including:

  1. vcid-translation
  2. traffic descriptor profiles for egress
    Note:

    You cannot apply ATM QoS traffic descriptor profiles on ingress to a SAP in a SAP aggregation group; the profile is set to the default (1). Attempting to change the ingress traffic descriptor will cause an error message to be displayed.

  3. OAM alarm notifications

For ingress and egress configuration information, see Configuring Apipe SAP Parameters.

CLI Syntax:
config>service# apipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vpn vpn-id] [vc-type {atm-vcc | atm-vpc | atm-cell}] [vc-switching]

Configuring Epipe SAP Parameters

The 7705 SAR supports distributed Epipe service and local (SAP-to-SAP) Epipe service. A distributed Epipe consists of two SAPs on different nodes. A local Epipe consists of both SAPs on the same 7705 SAR. To configure a distributed Epipe service, you must configure service entities on the originating and far-end nodes.

Use the following CLI syntax to create distributed Epipe SAPs. For ingress and egress configuration information, see Configuring Ingress and Egress SAP Parameters. For SAP ETH-CFM configuration information, see Configuring ETH-CFM Parameters (802.1ag and Y.1731).

Configuring Epipe SAP MEF 8 Parameters

MEF 8 allows TDM services to be encapsulated across Epipes. To configure MEF 8, define one TDM SAP and one Ethernet SAP on the Epipe; see Configuring Epipe SAP Parameters for information on configuring an Ethernet SAP. The TDM SAP for the Epipe must include a local and remote ECID and a far-end destination MAC address. The TDM port’s MAC address is used as the source MAC address for the circuit.

TDM can also be encapsulated into Ethernet, which is then encapsulated in MPLS (or GRE) by configuring an Epipe with a TDM SAP and a spoke SDP. See Configuring SDPs for information on configuring a spoke SDP. The TDM SAP configured in the Epipe must include a local and remote ECID and a far-end destination MAC address. The TDM port’s MAC address is used as the source MAC address for the circuit.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure MEF 8 parameters:

CLI Syntax:

Configuring Epipe SAP Microwave Link Parameters for Interworking with TDM2Ethernet

In a Microwave Awareness environment, a mixed microwave link scenario may exist where an access link site has an MPR-e radio connected to a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18 as a standalone network element as well as an MPR-e radio connected to a 9500 MSS as an indoor unit, as shown in Figure 68.

When TDM2Ethernet transport is required, the 9500 MSS packetizes the TDM2Ethernet stream using a MEF 8 frame format; the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18 acts as the MEF 8 endpoint. From a packet flow perspective, the TDM2Ethernet MEF 8 stream is a VLAN flow that can be handled by a VLAN SAP into an Epipe service going into the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18. To optimize the microwave bandwidth for the TDM2Ethernet MEF 8 transport, the packet header is compressed at the ingress MPR-e radio (connected to the 9500 MSS) and restored at the egress MPR-e radio (connected to the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18). In order for the egress MPR-e radio to perform this function, the parameters listed below are configured for an Epipe SAP on a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18; see Epipe Service Configuration Commands for more information:

  1. TDM2Ethernet compression on the Epipe
  2. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) header, if required (see RTP Header for a description of how an RTP header is applied)
  3. source 9500 MSS MAC address and destination 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18 MAC address
Figure 68:  Mixed Microwave Link Scenario 

Apply Epipe SAP microwave link parameters for interworking with TDM2Ethernet as shown in the CLI syntax example below:

CLI Syntax:
config>service>epipe epipe-id customer customer-id create
sap sap-id create
mw
compression source-mac destination-mac [rtp]

Configuring Epipe Spoke SDP Bindings

Figure 69 shows an example of a distributed Epipe service configuration between two routers, identifying the service and customer IDs and the unidirectional SDPs required to communicate to the far-end routers. The spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id must match on both sides.

Figure 69:  SDPs—Unidirectional Tunnels 

An SDP must exist before it can be used with a spoke SDP. For SDP configuration information, see Configuring SDPs.

To configure a spoke SDP for ETH-CFM support, see Configuring ETH-CFM Parameters (802.1ag and Y.1731).

Use the following CLI syntax to create a spoke SDP binding with an Epipe service.

CLI Syntax:
config>service# epipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vc-switching]
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id [vc-type {ether|vlan}] [create] vlan-vc-tag 0..4094
egress
vc-label egress-vc-label
eth-cfm
ingress
vc-label ingress-vc-label
no shutdown
Example:
ALU-1>config>service# epipe 5500
config>service>epipe# spoke-sdp 2:123
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# egress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 5500
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 6600
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# no shutdown
ALU-2>config>service# epipe 5500
config>service>epipe# spoke-sdp 2:123
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# egress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 6600
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 5500
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# no shutdown

The following example shows the configuration output for binding an Epipe service between ALU-1 and ALU-2. This example assumes the SAPs have already been configured (see Configuring Epipe SAP Parameters).

Configuring PW Switching

The vc-switching parameter defines a VLL service as a PW switching point, also called an S-PE. This is the point where a VLL service switches from one PW type to another. The vc-switching parameter must be specified when the VLL service is created.

Once a VLL service is configured as an S-PE, you cannot add a SAP to the configuration. The following example shows the error message generated by the CLI if you attempt to create a SAP on a VLL PW switching service.

Example:
*A:ALU>config>service>epipe 2 customer 1 create
vc-switching
*A:ALU>config>service>epipe$ sap 1/5/1 create
MINOR: SVCMGR #1311 SAP is not allowed under PW switching service
*A:ALU>config>service>epipe$

Use the following CLI syntax to configure pseudowire switching VLL services.

CLI Syntax:
config>service# apipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vpn vpn-id] [vc-type {atm-vcc|atm-vpc|atm-cell}] [vc-switching]
description description-string
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id

no shutdown
config>service# ipipe service-id [customer customer-id] [vpn vpn-id] [vc-switching]
description description-string
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id
no shutdown

The following shows an example of the command usage to configure a VLL service as a PW switching service:

Example:
ALU-1>config>service# apipe 5 customer 1 vpn 1 vc-switching create
config>service>apipe$ description “Default apipe description for service id 100”
config>service>apipe# spoke-sdp 3:1 create
config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>apipe# spoke-sdp 6:200 create
config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>apipe# no shutdown

The following example shows configurations for each service:

*A:ALA-48>config>service# info

Configuring Ingress and Egress SAP Parameters

By default, QoS policy ID 1 is applied to ingress and egress service SAPs. Existing QoS policies can be associated with service SAPs on ingress and egress ports.

Ingress and egress QoS SAP parameters can be applied to distributed and local Epipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, and Ipipe service SAPs, and to local Apipe and Cpipe service SAPs.

Ingress and egress QoS parameters can also be applied to SAP aggregation groups for ATM VCC VLL services. QoS parameters cannot be applied to SAPs that are members of the aggregation group.

By default, there are no IP filters associated with interfaces or services. IP filter policies can be applied to ingress Epipe and Ipipe service SAPs.

Example:
ALU-1>config>service# epipe 5500
config>service>epipe# sap 1/1/3:21
config>service>epipe>sap# ingress
config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# filter ip 1
config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# qos 555
config>service>epipe>sap>ingress# exit
config>service>epipe>sap# egress
config>service>epipe>sap>egress# qos 627
config>service>epipe>sap>egress# exit
config>service>epipe>sap#

The following example shows the Epipe SAP ingress and egress configuration output.

ALU-1>config>service#
----------------------------------------------
        epipe 5500 customer 5 vpn 5500 create
            description "Distributed epipe service to east coast"
            sap 1/1/3:21 create

                    filter ip 1
                    qos 555
                exit
                egress
                    qos 627
                exit
            exit
            spoke-sdp 2:123 create
                ingress
                    vc-label 6600
                exit
                egress
                    vc-label 5500
                exit
            exit
            no shutdown
        exit
----------------------------------------------

Using the Control Word

The control word is mandatory for Cpipe SAToP and CESoPSN configurations, and Fpipe one-to-one configurations. The control word is optional for Apipe, Epipe, Hpipe, and Ipipe configurations.

When the control word is enabled, the Admin Control Word is set to Preferred. Both sides of the VLL must be configured with a matching control word, either both enabled or both disabled, for the pipe to be up.

The control word state will be set to True or False depending on what is configured, either enabled (True) or disabled (False).

Example:
config>service# cpipe 2100 customer 1
config>service>cpipe$ description ”Default cpipe description for service id 2100”
config>service>cpipe$ sap 1/2/7.1:4 create
config>service>cpipe>sap$ description “Default sap description for service id 2100”
config>service>cpipe>sap$ exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 1:2001 create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ control-word
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ exit
config>service>cpipe# no shutdown

The following example shows the control word configuration output for a Cpipe service.

*A:ALU-Dut-B>config>service>cpipe# info 
----------------------------------------------
            description "Default cpipe description for service id 2100"
            sap 1/2/7.1:4 create
                description "Default sap description for service id 2100"
            exit
            spoke-sdp 1:2001 create
                control-word
            exit
            no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
*A:ALU-Dut-B>config>service>cpipe# 

The control word cannot be disabled on Cpipe services. To disable the control word option on Apipe, Epipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, or Ipipe services, use the no control-word command.

Example:
config>service>apipe# spoke-sdp 1:2001 no control-word
config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp$ exit

Configuring PW Redundancy

This section describes configuring PW redundancy. Additional topics in this section include:

For PW redundancy, create an explicit endpoint and then assign a primary spoke SDP and up to three secondary spoke SDPs, or up to four secondary spoke SDPs with no primary spoke SDP, to that endpoint.

CLI Syntax:
config>service# cpipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create]
endpoint endpoint-name [create]
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id endpoint endpoint-name [create]
precedence precedence-value
no shutdown
Example:
config>service# cpipe 2100
config>service>cpipe$ endpoint “Endpoint_Y” create
config>service>cpipe$ spoke-sdp 1:100 endpoint
    “Endpoint_Y” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence primary
config>service>cpipe$ spoke-sdp 2:200 endpoint
    “Endpoint_Y” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence 1
no shutdown

The following example shows the PW redundancy configuration output for a Cpipe service.

*A:7705:Dut-C>config>service>cpipe# info
----------------------------------------------
            endpoint "Endpoint_Y" create
            exit
            spoke-sdp 1:100 endpoint "Endpoint_Y" create
                precedence primary
            exit
            spoke-sdp 2:200 endpoint "Endpoint_Y" create
                precedence 1
            exit
----------------------------------------------------
*A:7705:Dut-C>config>service>cpipe# 

Configuring PW Redundancy—Standby Signaling

For standby signaling, create an endpoint as shown in the preceding section, but specify an SDP as the standby signaling master and the far-end endpoints as standby signaling slaves.

In the following example, precedence primary indicates that the spoke SDP is the active SDP and precedence 1 indicates that the spoke SDP is the standby SDP.

To create a standby signaling master:

CLI Syntax:
config>service# cpipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create]
endpoint endpoint-name [create]
standby-signaling-master
exit
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id endpoint endpoint-name [create]
precedence precedence-value
no shutdown
Example:
config>service cpipe 555
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “stdbyMaster” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# standby-signaling-master
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 5:555 endpoint
    “stdbyMaster” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence primary
exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 131:555 endpoint
    “stdbyMaster” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence 1
exit

To create the far-end endpoints as standby signaling slaves:

CLI Syntax:
config>service# cpipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create]
endpoint endpoint-name [create]
standby-signaling-slave
exit
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id endpoint endpoint-name [create]
precedence precedence-value
no shutdown
Example:
config>service cpipe 555
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “FarendA” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# standby-signaling-slave
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 130:555 endpoint
    “FarendA” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence primary
exit
Example:
config>service cpipe 555
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “FarendB” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# standby-signaling-slave
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 130:555 endpoint
    “FarendB” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp$ precedence primary
exit

Configuring PW Redundancy—ICB

ICB (Inter-Chassis Backup) spoke SDPs are supported for use with Cpipe services in an MC-APS configuration and Epipe services in an MC-LAG configuration. ICB improves switch times, provides additional protection in case of network failures, and reduces packet loss when an active endpoint is switched from a failed MC-APS or MC-LAG node to a protection node.

To configure ICB, create explicit endpoints on the access and network side on the active node and then assign a primary spoke SDP on the reverse side of the protection node.

CLI Syntax:
config>service# cpipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create]
description description-string
endpoint endpoint-name [create]
service-mtu octets
standby-signaling-master
exit
sap sap-id [create]
spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id endpoint endpoint-name [icb] [create]
precedence precedence-value
no shutdown

To configure ICB on the active node:

Example:
config>service cpipe 555
config>service>cpipe# description “Cpipe for service id 1”
config>service>cpipe# service-mtu 1000
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “X” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “Y” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# sap aps-1.1.1.1.1 endpoint “X” create
config>service>cpipe>sap# description “SAP for service id 1”
config>service>cpipe>sap# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 2003:1 endpoint
    “Y” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 2004:1001 endpoint    “X” icb create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 2004:1001 endpoint    “Y” icb create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# no shutdown
exit

To configure ICB on the protection node:

Example:
config>service cpipe 1 vc-type cesopsn create
config>service>cpipe# service-mtu 1000
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “X” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# endpoint “Y” create
config>service>cpipe>endpoint# exit
config>service>cpipe# sap aps-1.1.1.1.1 endpoint “X” create
config>service>cpipe>sap# description “SAP description for service id 1”
config>service>cpipe>sap# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 4003:1 endpoint
    “Y” create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 4002:1001 endpoint    “Y” icb create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# spoke-sdp 4002:2001 endpoint    “X” icb create
config>service>cpipe>spoke-sdp# exit
config>service>cpipe# no shutdown
exit

Service Management Tasks

The service management tasks are similar for Apipe, Cpipe, Epipe, and Ipipe services. This section discusses the following service management tasks:

Modifying Service Parameters

Use the show service service-using command to display a list of configured VLL services.

To modify a VLL service:

  1. Access the specific account by specifying the service ID.
  2. Enter the service parameter to modify and then enter the new information.

PE router 1 (A:ALU-41):

Example:
A:ALU-41>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# sap 1/1/1.1:0/32 create
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>sap# accounting-policy 2
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>sap# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# spoke-sdp 1:4
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# egress
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 2048
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 18431
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe#

PE router 2 (A:ALU-42):

Example:
A:ALU-42>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# sap 2/2/2.1:0/32 create
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>sap# accounting-policy 2
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>sap# exit
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# spoke-sdp 1:4
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# egress
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 18431
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 2043
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe>spoke-sdp# exit
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe#

The following example shows the configuration output when adding an accounting-policy to an existing SAP and modifying the spoke SDP parameters on an existing Apipe service for PE Router 1 (ALU-41) and PE Router 2 (ALU-42).

Use a similar syntax to modify Cpipe, Epipe, and Ipipe services.

Disabling a Service

A service can be shut down without deleting the service parameters.

Use the shutdown command to shut down a VLL service. The following CLI syntax shows the command to shut down an Apipe service. Use a similar syntax to shut down Cpipe, Epipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, and Ipipe services.

CLI Syntax:
config>service#
apipe service-id
shutdown

PE router 1 (A:ALU-41):

Example:
A:ALU-41>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# shutdown
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# exit

PE router 2 (A:ALU-42):

Example:
A:ALU-42>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# shutdown
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# exit

Re-enabling a Service

Use the no shutdown command to re-enable a previously disabled VLL service. The following CLI syntax shows the command to re-enable an Apipe service. Use a similar syntax to re-enable Cpipe, Epipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, and Ipipe services.

CLI Syntax:
config>service#
apipe service-id
no shutdown

PE router 1 (A:ALU-41):

Example:
A:ALU-41>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# no shutdown
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# exit

PE router 2 (A:ALU-42):

Example:
A:ALU-42>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# no shutdown
A:ALU-42>config>service>apipe# exit

Deleting a Service

Use the shutdown command to delete a VLL service. The SAP, and any associated protocols and spoke SDPs, must be deleted from the VLL service before the VLL service can be deleted.

Perform the following steps to delete a service:

  1. Shut down the SAP and SDP.
  2. Delete the SAP and SDP.
  3. Shut down the service.

Use the following syntax to delete Apipe services. Use a similar syntax to delete Cpipe, Epipe, Fpipe, Hpipe, and Ipipe services.

CLI Syntax:
config>service#
apipe service-id
sap sap-id
shutdown
exit
no sap sap-id
spoke-sdp [sdp-id:vc-id]
shutdown
exit
no spoke-sdp [sdp-id:vc-id]
shutdown
exit
no apipe service-id
Example:
A:ALU-41>config>service# apipe 5
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# sap 1/1/1.1:0/32
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>sap# shutdown
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe>sap# exit
A:ALU-41>config>service>apipe# no sap 1/1/1.1:0/32
