Chapter 3 Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet Policy

Setting the Interface Attributes

The EVC Policy Editor - Interface Attribute window appears, as shown in

Figure 3-3

.

Continue with the steps contained in the next section,

Setting the Interface Attributes, page 3-16

.

Setting the Interface Attributes

This step of creating the FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet policy involves setting the interface attributes, as shown
in the EVC Policy Editor - Interface Attribute window in

Figure 3-4

. The attributes you can configure in

this window are grouped under the following categories:

N-PE/U-PE information

Speed and duplex information

ACL name and MAC addresses

UNI port security

Storm control

L2 protocol tunneling

In some cases, checking an attribute causes additional attributes to appear in the GUI. This is covered in
the steps that follow.

Note

If the CE is directly connected to an N-PE, only speed, duplex, UNI shutdown, and other generic options
are presented. In this case, port security, storm control, L2 protocol tunneling, and other advanced
features are not supported due to the current platform limitations. If these features are needed for a
service, the service provider must deploy Layer 2 Ethernet access nodes beyond the FlexUNI to support
these requirements.

Note

Attributes available in the Interface Attributes window dynamically change based on the choice made
for the MPLS Core Connectivity Type (PSEUDOWIRE, LOCAL, or VPLS) in the Service Options
window (see

Setting the Service Options, page 3-8

). For completeness, all attributes available for the

different core types are documented in the following steps. Attributes apply to all core types, unless
otherwise noted.
