Predefined Point-to-Multipoint Ethernet Service Definitions
The Connectivity Services Director application provides predefined service definitions that a service provisioner can choose from when creating a service order. This section provides information about predefined service definitions used for creating point-to-multipoint services. For information about predefined service definitions used to create E-Line service definitions or multipoint-to-multipoint service definitions, see the following topics:
If none of the point-to-multipoint predefined service definitions described here is appropriate for your needs, you can create a service definition as described in Creating a Point-to-Multipoint E-LAN Service Definition.
The Connectivity Services Director application provides predefined service definitions for E-LAN services that use BGP switching in the network core. These services are sometimes known as E-LAN services. This section covers point-to-multipoint (or hub-and-spoke) service definitions.
Information specific to each service instance, such as the device name, endpoint name, customer VLAN ID, and whether a specific endpoint is a hub or a spoke is provided in the service order. Attributes that can apply across many service instances are typically defined in the service definition. These attributes include:
Ethernet option (dot1.q, qinq)
Traffic type (single VLAN, VLAN range, all traffic, VLAN list)
VLAN normalization
Physical interface encapsulation
Logical interface encapsulation
Rate limit range
Table 1 lists each of the standard E-LAN service definitions. Each standard service definition is then described in detail in the sections that follow.

ELAN-Hub-Spoke-QinQ-AllVLAN-Normalized-All Service Definition
This service definition provides a base for creating point-to-multipoint Ethernet services that transport all traffic on an endpoint across a BGP network core using Q-in-Q endpoint interface types and flexible-ethernet-services as the physical encapsulation type. VLAN IDs are not preserved across the network—traffic passes from the single VLAN on an endpoint to any VLANs in the broadcast domain. Service provisioners can limit the bandwidth of services built from this service definition to specific values from 10 Mbps through 100 Mbps.
The following sections show the configuration data on each endpoint when you use this service definition to create the service shown in Figure 1—a point-to-multipoint service with one hub and two spokes.

ELAN-Hub-Spoke-QinQ-AllVLAN Service Definition
This service definition provides a base for creating point-to-multipoint Ethernet services that transport all traffic on an endpoint across a BGP network core using Q-in-Q endpoint interface types and flexible-ethernet-services as the physical encapsulation type. Customer VLAN IDs are preserved across the network—traffic passes among like customer VLAN IDs on any service provider VLAN in the broadcast domain. Service provisioners can limit the bandwidth of services built from this service definition to specific values from 10 Mbps through 100 Mbps. Figure 2 shows a point-to-multipoint service with two hubs.
