Provisioning

The termination of a MPLS-based spoke SDP on a Flex PW port follows the common provisioning framework:

  1. Creating a pw-port-list

  2. Adding ports that are in hybrid mode to the pw-port-list

  3. Creating a PW port

  4. Configuring a tunnel

  5. Terminating a tunnel on a PW port via an Epipe service. A PW port must be configured within the Epipe before a spoke SDP is added to the same Epipe.

    The steps for MPLS-based spoke SDP termination on a Flex PW port are displayed in Figure 1.

  6. When a Flex PW port is associated with a tunnel, a payload from the tunnel can be extracted using service delimiting tags (Ethernet VLANs to S-tags, C-tags in the inner Ethernet header) on a PW SAP on a Layer 2 or Layer 3 service. See Figure 2
