Chapter 8 Managing an L2VPN Service Request
Creating an L2VPN Service Request
The following steps are involved in creating a service request for Layer 2 connectivity between customer
sites:
• Choose a CE Topology for ERS (EVPL)/Frame Relay/ATM services.
• Choose the endpoints (CE and PE) that must be connected. For each end-to-end Layer 2 connection,
ISC creates an end-to-end wire object in the repository for the service request.
• Choose a CE or PE interface.
• Choose a Named Physical Circuit (NPC) for the CE or PE.
• Edit the end-to-end connection.
• Edit the link attributes.
• (0ptional) Associate templates and data files to devices in the service request.
Creating an L2VPN Service Request
To create an L2VPN service request, perform the following steps.
Step 1 Choose Service Inventory > Inventory and Connection Manage > Service Requests.
The Service Requests window appears.
Step 2 Click Create.
Step 3 Choose L2VPN from the drop-down list.
L2VPN service requests must be associated with an L2VPN policy. You choose an L2VPN policy from
the policies previously created (see
Chapter 7, “Creating an L2VPN Policy” ).
Step 4 Choose the L2VPN policy of choice.
If more than one L2VPN policy exists, a list of L2VPN policies appears.
Step 5 When you make the choice, click OK.
As soon as you make the choice, the new service request inherits all the properties of that L2VPN policy,
such as all the editable and non-editable features and pre-set parameters.
To continue creating an L2VPN service request, go to one of the following sections:
• Creating an ERS (EVPL), ATM, or Frame Relay L2VPN Service Request with a CE, page 8-2 .
• Creating an EWS (EPL) L2VPN Service Request with a CE, page 8-8 .
• Creating an ERS (EVPL), ATM, or Frame Relay L2VPN Service Request without a CE, page 8-11 .
• Creating an EWS (EPL) L2VPN Service Request without a CE, page 8-16 .
Creating an ERS (EVPL), ATM, or Frame Relay L2VPN Service Request with a CE
This section includes detailed steps for creating an L2VPN service request with a CE present for ERS
(EVPL), ATM, and Frame Relay policies. If you are creating an L2VPN service request for an EWS
(EPL) policy, go to
Creating an EWS (EPL) L2VPN Service Request with a CE, page 8-8 .
After you choose an L2VPN policy, the L2VPN Service Request Editor window appears. (See
Figure 8-1 .)
