Choosing a Predefined Service Definition or Creating a New Service Definition
The Connectivity Services Director software provides a set of predefined service definitions for E-Line services, multipoint-to-multipoint E-LAN (full mesh) services, and point-to-multipoint E-LAN (hub and spoke) services. These service definitions are capable of providing the basis for most of the service orders your organization will need to create. In case these predefined service definitions are not adequate for all your needs, however, the Connectivity Services Director software enables you to create service definitions of your own.
The following topics review the predefined service definitions and provide instructions on creating your own.
Choosing a Predefined Service Definition
Table 1 lists the predefined service definitions that Junos Space provides for E-Line services that use LDP in the network core. Table 2 lists the predefined service definitions for multipoint-to-multipoint (full mesh) services. Table 3 lists the predefined service definitions for point-to-multipoint (hub and spoke) services.

Many of the service attributes can be edited in the service order, which allows the flexibility for creating most of the service orders you will need from these predefined service definitions.

Creating an E-Line Service Definition
Use this procedure to create a definition for an E-Line service. The standard service definitions that came with your initial software installation are designed to be appropriate for most requirements. You can also create a customized service definition—for example, to set different bandwidth limits on the service than those offered in the standard service definitions.
After the new service definition is complete and published, network operators or service provisioners can use the completed service definition as a base for creating and then activating E-Line services on the network.
The windows appear in the order stated. You can, however, perform these steps in any order by accessing them through the task list in the right panel. If the panel is not visible, click the snap tool on the right side of the main display area.
To create an E-Line service definition, complete these tasks, in the order shown:
- Specifying General Information
- Specifying UNI Settings
- Specifying Connectivity Information When Signaling Is LDP
- Specifying Connectivity Information When Signaling Is BGP
- Reviewing the Configured Settings
Specifying General Information
A wizard is available to create a service order in an intuitive and easily-navigable format. The settings that you can configure in the service order are organized in separate pages of the wizard, which you can launch by clicking the appropriate buttons at the top of the Create a Service Definition page. Alternatively, you can proceed to the corresponding setting-related pages by clicking the Back and Next buttons at any point in the wizard during the creation of the service definition.
To specify the general information for an E-Line service definition:
Specifying UNI Settings
In this step, you provide the UNI service attributes for this service definition. The attributes you set depend on whether you are setting attributes for a port, an 802.1Q interface, a Q-in-Q interface, or a flexible VLAN tagging:
- Specifying UNI Settings for Port-to-Port Services
- Specifying UNI Settings for Services with 802.1Q Interface Types
- Specifying UNI Settings for Services with Q-in-Q Interface Types
- UNI Settings for Services with Flexible VLAN Tagging (Asymmetric Interface Types)
Specifying UNI Settings for Port-to-Port Services
To set UNI attributes for a port-to-port service, complete the following procedure.
Specifying UNI Settings for Services with 802.1Q Interface Types
To set UNI attributes for a 802.1Q service, complete the following procedure.
Specifying UNI Settings for Services with Q-in-Q Interface Types
To set UNI attributes for a Q-in-Q service, complete the following procedure.
UNI Settings for Services with Flexible VLAN Tagging (Asymmetric Interface Types)
You can specify the Ethernet option asymmetric tag depth to create a service that includes any combination of port-based interfaces, 802.1Q interfaces, and Q-in-Q interfaces.
Specifying Connectivity Information When Signaling Is LDP
The fields displayed in the Connectivity window depend on the Signaling type (LDP or BGP) that you selected in the General settings window.
To specify connectivity between sites across the network when signaling is LDP:
Specifying Connectivity Information When Signaling Is BGP
To specify connectivity between sites across the network when signaling is BGP, fill in the fields in the Connectivity window:
Reviewing the Configured Settings
The Review page of the service definition or service order creation and modification wizards enable you to view and evaluate the service parameters and components you configured in preceding steps or pages of the wizard. This page provides a comprehensive, single-page view of all the service elements configured in the different pages of the wizard. You can either click the buttons corresponding to the various settings at the top of the wizard page to directly traverse to the page you want to modify or click the navigation buttons at the bottom of the wizard page to go to the different pages of the wizard.
On the Review page, in the Service Templates section, the names of the service templates with which the service definition is associated are displayed. The Default Service Template column indicates whether the attached template is the default template.
To examine and modify the configured service definition settings:
