Before provisioning a service in the network, you (superuser or network administrator) must configure and upload network resource pools to the Paragon Automation database. You can upload network resources by using the GUI, service orchestration cMGD CLI, or by using REST API. For more information, see Add Network Resources for Provisioning Services.

Placement refers to the allocation of network resources to provision a service. You can manage allocation of network resources such as PE devices, interfaces, CE devices, and VLANs when provisioning an EVPN or L3VPN service for a customer. Automatically assign all possible placement options available for a customer from the network resource pools that you configured and uploaded. After placement options are assigned, you can select and allocate devices and interfaces from the available options to provision services. You can manage allocation of network resources when creating or modifying a service instance by using the Paragon Automation GUI or the service orchestration cMGD CLI.

Note:

Managing placement configurations to provision L3VPN and EVPN services is a beta feature in this release.
