Modifying the Application Settings of Connectivity Services Director

Deployment

Check service version

Select this check box to validate the version of the service being configured.

Deploy configuration to the device

Select this check box to deploy the configuration to the device.

Enable service alarms

Select this check box to enable the service alarms. Enabling the service alarms causes a GUI impact on the Connectivity Services Director application. When you select the check box and deploy the service, the interface goes down, resulting in the failure to update the fault status. When you right-click Service and select View Service Alarms, the latter does not appear in the results.

Save configuration in XML format

Select this check box to save the configuration of the device in XML format.

Show configuration in set format

Select this check box to display the configuration in set format.

Use two-phase commit for service provisioning

Select this check box to push the configuration on all the network elements automatically, making either one or all successful.

Use vlan maps for E-Line services

When this check box is selected, normalization of VLAN tags is performed using the input or output VLAN maps.

This check box is selected by default.

Use vlan maps for flexible tagged services instead of normalized vlan (VPLS)

When this check box is cleared, normalization of VLAN tags is performed using normalized tags under routing instance.

This check box is cleared by default.

Audit

Enable Functional Audit after deployment

Select this check box to perform the functional audit automatically, after the service is deployed successfully. By default, the functional audit is not checked. Extra time is taken to complete both the functional audit and deployment.

Functional Audit Waiting Time after deployment

Specify the initial wait time to auto-schedule a functional audit job after deployment.

If the entered value is greater than 30 minutes, it is reset to 30 minutes. If the entered value is less than 1 minute, the wait time is ignored.

The range is from 1 minute through 30 minutes.

Perform Functional Audit on Control plane only

Select this check box to make the functional audit ignore the data plane verification and to consider only the control plane.

User Interface

Allow template modification for service

Select this check box to allow the templates to be changed during the service modification.

Bandwidth Combo Items Count

Specify the bandwidth combo items count.

In Create IP service order page, if the bandwidth range exceeds the bandwidth combo items count, then the bandwidth input is taken in text field.

The default value is 100.

Service Detail Wait Time (sec)

Specify the period of time in seconds as the wait period for retrieving service details during service template modification.

Monitoring

Perform Monitoring on Failed Functional Audit

Select this check box to perform monitoring if the functional audit fails.

Pseudowire Redundancy Transition TimeDelay

Select this check box to dump the configuration files.

Specify the time delay to issue the remote procedure call (RPC) call for redundancy service. Since there is no support for the fault management for redundancy service, it should not update the fault status as down, when the interface goes down as the service will be running with the help of backup device. The RPC is issued to check the status of the service. If the value of this time delay is 2 seconds and the interface goes down, it waits for 2 seconds to check whether the service is up, with the help of the backup device and correspondingly updates the fault status.

The default value is 2 seconds.

Statistics Aggregation Reporting

Specify the manner in which the aggregated results are returned for a query that polls and retrieves data from devices. Two aggregation values are supported:

• Total: Sum of the number of packets received in the interval

• Average: Average of the total number of packets received in the interval

Logging

Dump Configuration Files

By default, the configuration files are not dumped into the log directory. This is enabled, if there is a need to provide troubleshooting to Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC).

Dump Deployment Data

Select this check box to write the configlets and error response from the JUNOS devices into the log directory..

Log Directory

Specify the default path of the log directory: /var/tmp/jboss

Prestage Devices

Pre-stage Wait Time (Sec)

Specify the number of seconds for which the task to trigger a job for prestaging devices must wait after receiving the first notification for prestaging devices. For example, if you specify the prestage wait time as 20 seconds, the prestaging task waits for a period of 20 seconds, after receiving the first notification for prestaging devices, and then initiates the prestaging-devices job.

Pre-stage Idle Time (Sec)

Specify the number of seconds after which the job for prestaging devices is initiated, if no notification is received during the idle period. For example, if you specify the prestage idle time as 10 seconds and if no notification for prestaging devices is received within this period, the job for prestaging devices is triggered immediately after 10 seconds. The prestage idle time value takes precedence over the prestage wait time value.

Loopback Unit

Specify the logical unit of the loopback interface that must be used as the default loopback logical interface for all provisioning tasks that are initiated from Connectivity Services Director. The default logical unit for the loopback interface is 0.

Route Target

BeginIndex

Specify the least value in the preferred range of numbers, among which a certain number is assigned for each BGP service. Route target allows you to distribute VPN routes to only the routers that need them. When a route target value is entered manually, it should be either of the following two formats: Autonomous System number format or IPv4 format. For Autonomous System number format, the pattern is as-number:2-byte-number. For example, target:100:200.

Range: The Autonomous System number format number can be in the range from 1 through 65,535.

The IPv4 format is ip-address:2-byte-number. For example, target:10.1.1.1:2.

EndIndex

Specify the greatest value in the preferred range of numbers, among which a certain number is assigned for each BGP service. Route target allows you to distribute VPN routes to only the routers that need them. When a route target value is entered manually, it should be either of the following two formats: Autonomous System number format or IPv4 format. For Autonomous System number format, the pattern is as-number:2-byte-number. For example, target:100:200.

Range: The Autonomous System number format number can be in the range from 1 through 65,535.

The IPv4 format is ip-address:2-byte-number. For example, target:10.1.1.1:2. The EndIndex value should be lesser than the maximum assigned value.

Virtual Circuit ID

BeginIndex

Specify the least value in the preferred range of numbers, among which a certain number is assigned as the VirtualCircuitID to the new circuit created. This VCID can be manually chosen by the customer or auto-generated by the system. For example, if BeginIndex = 100 and EndIndex = 200, then the VCID would be somewhere between 100 and 200.

Minimum: 1

The value of BeginIndex should be less than or equal to EndIndex value.

The range is from 0 through 200000.

EndIndex

Specify the greatest value in the preferred range of numbers, among which a certain number is assigned as the VirtualCircuitID to the new circuit created. This VCID can be manually chosen by the customer or auto-generated by the system. For example, if BeginIndex = 100 and EndIndex = 200, then the VCID would be somewhere between 100 and 200.

Maximum: 2147483647.

The range is from 0 through 200000.

Performance Monitoring

DataSetSize

DataSetSize is the size of the performance monitoring data set in days. This field indicates the number of days of performance monitoring data could be stored for display.

The default value is 2880.

Enable Performance Monitoring through scripts

Select the check box to collect the performance data through scripts and opennms will store the data in its database. If this check box is not selected, then performance data such as one-way delay, two-way delay, and frame loss are collected through RPC and stored in the application database.
