Chapter 9 Creating a VPLS Policy
Defining an Ethernet/EMS (EP-LAN) Policy without a CE
This is especially useful to specify here if you know that the link will always go through a particular
interface’s slot/port location on all or most of the network devices in the service.
Step 5 Choose a N-PE/U-PE Encapsulation type.
The choices are:
• DOT1Q
• DEFAULT
Note When creating a service request based on the Ethernet/EMS (EP-LAN) without CE policy, the
Encapsulation attribute is ignored. Therefore, setting this value has no effect.
Step 6 Check the UNI Shutdown check box if you want to leave the UNI port shut during service activation,
for example, when the service provider wants to deploy a service in the network but wants to activate it
at a later time.
Step 7 Check the Keep Alive check box to configure keepalives on the UNI port.
By default, this check box is unchecked, which causes the command no keepalive to be provisioned on
the UNI port. This prevents a CPE from sending keepalive packets to the U-PE, for security purposes.
This attribute is editable to support modification on a per-service request basis.
Step 8 Check the ANY check box to display all interface types as choices for the UNI interface (when creating
service requests based on this policy).
This check box is checked by default.
Step 9 Check the UNI check box to display all interfaces defined as type UNI as choices for the UNI interface
(when creating service requests based on this policy).
This check box is checked by default.
Step 10 Enter one or more Ethernet MAC addresses in UNI MAC addresses.
This selection is present only if you uncheck the Use Existing ACL Name check box. Click the Edit
button to bring up a pop-up window in which you enter MAC addresses to be allowed or denied on the
port. You can also specify a range of addresses by setting a base MAC address and a filtered MAC
address.
Step 11 Enter a Link Speed (optional) of None, 10, 100, 1000, Auto, or nonegotiate.
Step 12 Enter a Link Duplex (optional) of None, Full, Half, or Auto.
Step 13 In the PE/UNI Interface Description field, enter an optional description, for example Customer-B EMS
(EP-LAN) Service.
Step 14 Check the VLAN ID AutoPick check box if you want ISC to choose a VLAN ID. If you do not check
this check box, you will be prompted to provide the VLAN in a Provider VLAN ID field during service
activation.
Step 15 Enter a VLAN NAME (optional) to specify a name to describe the VLAN.
The name must be one token (no spaces allowed.) The limit for the VLAN name is 32 characters. The
name has to be unique. Two VLANs cannot share the same name.
Step 16 Enter the System MTU in bytes.
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) size is configurable and optional. ISC does not perform an
integrity check for this customized value. If a service request goes to the Failed Deploy state because
this size is not accepted, you must adjust the size until the service request is deployed. ISC supports,
ranges for different platforms, as specified below. The range is 1500 to 9216.
