You can stitch or interconnect an IP service with an
E-LAN service. You must enable the stitching functionality to perform
this interconnection. If the stitching capability is enabled, when
you select the interfaces for the endpoints added to a service, only
the integrated routing and bridging (IRB) physical and logical interfaces
are available for selection. If you select a physical IRB interface,
a new logical interface is created with the logical unit identifier
of the interface you specify. If you select a logical IRB interface,
the existing logical interface is used to create the service.
You can stitch or interconnect an IP service with an E-LAN service
during the creation or modification of an IP service order. Follow
the steps outlined in for performing the tasks in the Service Settings
and Node Settings pages of the wizard. To enable the stitching of
an IP service with an E-LAN service, you can select the Stitch check
box for a device associated with the service order on the Site Settings
page of the IP service order creation or modification wizard.
To interconnect an IP service with an E-LAN service:
- Select Service View from the View Selector.
The workspaces that are applicable to routing and tunnel services
are displayed.
- From the Junos Space user interface, click the Deploy icon in the Connectivity Services Director banner. The functionalities
that you can configure in this mode are displayed in the task pane.
- From the View pane, click the plus sign (+) to expand
the tree and select the type of service.
- Click the plus sign (+) beside Connectivity to view services
based on protocols.
Expand the IP Services tree to select an IP
service.
Expand the E-Line Services tree to select an
E-Line service.
Expand the E-LAN Services tree to select an
E-LAN service.
- From the Tasks pane, select Service Provisioning > Deploy Services.
The Manage Network Services page is displayed in the top half
of the right pane, which displays all of the configured services.
The Manage Service Orders page is displayed in the bottom half of
the right pane, which displays all of the service orders corresponding
to a service.
- From the Manage Network Services page, select New > IP Service.
The Create IP Service Order window appears and shows
a filtered inventory view of only those published service definitions
designed to work with multipoint Ethernet services. You can select
the service definition based on the signaling type.
See Creating a Full Mesh IP Service
Order and Creating a Hub-and-Spoke
IP Service Order for detailed information about the settings
that you can configure on the Service Settings and Node Settings pages
of the wizard.
- After you complete the configuration of settings on the
Service Settings and Node Settings pages of the service order creation
or modification wizard, click Site Settings at the top
of the wizard page.
The Site Settings page is displayed.
- Select the check box beside the device for which you want
to enable the stitching of E-LAN and IP services.
The device that you select is available for stitching.
- Select the Stitch check box to enable the interconnection
of the IP service with an E-LAN service.
- Click inside the Interface Name field to select an IRB
interface. A popup dialog box is displayed with the list of all configured
IRB interfaces. If the stitching capability is enabled, when you select
the interfaces for the endpoints added to a service, only the IRB
physical and logical interfaces are available for selection.
- Select a physical or logical IRB interface that you want
to use to stitch the IP service with an E-LAN service.
The selected interface is used for interconnection of the services.
- (Optional) If you select a physical IRB interface, you
can specify the logical unit of the interface in the UNIT ID field.
The specified logical IRB interface is used for stitching the
services.
- For service orders associated with a service definition
that contains a service template, click Next to modify
the template settings.
- Click Review to examine and modify the settings
as necessary.
- Click Finish when you have completed examining
the settings to confirm the creation of the service order.
- You can proceed to enable the stitching functionality
for the same IRB interface with the E-LAN service. See Interconnecting an E-LAN Service with an IP Service for detailed information about enabling the stitching functionality
for the E-LAN service.
