Provisioning

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

1. Create a PW port list.

2. Add ports that are in hybrid mode to the PW port list.

3. Create a PW port.

4. Configure a tunnel.

5. Terminate 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: Provisioning MPLS-based spoke SDP termination on a flex PW port.

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: PW SAP configuration example
