Introducing FlexUNI/EVC Service Requests

A FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet service request allows you to configure interfaces on an N-PE to support the
FlexUNI/EVC features described in

Chapter 3, “Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet Policy.”

To create a

FlexUNI/EVC service request, a FlexUNI/EVC service policy must already be defined, as described in

Chapter 3, “Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet Policy.”

Based on the predefined FlexUNI/EVC policy,

an operator creates a FlexUNI/EVC service request, with or without modifications to the policy, and
deploys the service. One or more templates can also be associated to the N-PE as part of the service
request.

Creating a FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet service request involves the following steps:

Choose an existing FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet policy.

Choose a VPN.

Note

When working with VPN objects in the context of FlexUNI/EVC Ethernet policies and service
requests, only the VPN name and customer attributes are relevant. Other VPN attributes related
to MPLS and VPLS are ignored.

Specify a bridge domain configuration (if applicable).

Specify a service request description.

Specify automatic or manual allocation of the VC ID or VPLS VPN ID.
