Introducing FlexUNI/EVC Service Requests

A FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet service request allows you to configure interfaces on an N-PE to suppor t the
FlexUNI/EVC features described in Chapter 3, “Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Etherne t Policy.” To create a
FlexUNI/EVC service request, a FlexUNI/EVC service policy must already be defined, as described in
Chapter 3, “Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet Policy.” Based on the predefined FlexUNI/EVC policy,
an operator creates a FlexUNI/EVC service request, with or without modifications to the policy, and
deploys the service. One or more templates can also be associated to the N-PE as part of the service
request.
Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet service request involves the following steps:
• Choose an existing FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet policy.
• Choose a VPN.
Note When working with VPN objects in the context of FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet policies and service
requests, only the VPN name and customer attributes are relevant. Other VPN attributes related
to MPLS and VPLS are ignored.
• Specify a bridge domain configuration (if applic able).
• Specify a service request description.
• Specify automatic or manual allocation of the VC ID or VPLS VPN ID.
