You can convert a normal EPL service to a VLAN SNCP service by using the U2000 Web LCT.
Prerequisites
Normal Ethernet services must be created.
An idle port must be available when you convert a normal EPL service or EVPL (QinQ) service to a VLAN SNCP service.
Precaution
NOTE: Setting the parameters of a port affect the service of the board. Before setting the parameters of a port, configure State of the port as OOS at the Ethernet Interface. After setting the parameters, restore State of the port to IS.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an Ethernet board and choose from the Function Tree.
- Click the EPL Service tab. Select a service that you want to convert, right-click, and choose Convert to VLAN SNCP from the shortcut menu. The Convert to VLAN SNCP Service dialog box is displayed.
- Set protection service parameters such as Source Port according to the actual requirements.
NOTE: - Make sure that the port settings of the protection service and the service being protected are consistent.
- If the port type of protection services is not UNI, the U2000 Web LCT automatically sets the port type to UNI.
- Click OK.
- In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose from the Function Tree. Create the cross-connections
between the Ethernet board and the east line board and between the Ethernet board and the west line board.
NOTE:
- When the Ethernet board is the L4G board, create the cross-connection between this L4G board and the L4G board that is in another direction.
- If the cross-connection already exists, skip this step.
- In the NE Explorer of the opposite NE, create the Ethernet dual fed service of the opposite NE and the corresponding cross-connections between the Ethernet board and the east line board and between the Ethernet board and the west line board.
- Optional: If the service passes through an intermediate station, on the intermediate station, you should configure the pass-through for the service between the line boards.
