Adding Virtual Connection Endpoints (VCEs)
Depending on the use case, a VCE element has a “component type” attribute: Customer (CVLAN), Operator (S-VLAN) or Tunnel (S-VLAN):
- A Tunnel VCE is used for trunking use cases (Access Provider).
- An Operator VCE is used to tag the data frames in the operator's network.
- A Customer VCE is used to handle customer (tagged or untagged) traffic (usually at UNI and at VUNI).
To add a new VCE or edit an existing VCE
Access Virtual Connection ▶VCE ▶Configuration.
A list of all existing VCEs and their current status is displayed.Click Add to create a new VCE or click the Name of an existing VCE to edit its settings.
Enter values in the required fields, then click Apply.
Note: A type Tunnel VCE will create an implicit VCA which can be included within another VCA. Also, a VCE with both TP A and TP Z ports configured as external will generate an implicit VCA.
For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.
VCE Configuration and Status (Virtual Connection ▶VCE ▶Configuration)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
VCE Name | A name that uniquely identifies the VCE on the Skylight element: LT. |
Type | Type indicates which type of VCE is being created. The default is Customer. The available options are:
|
TPID | The TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier). Specifies the type of VLANtagging used in the frames that will be handled by this VCE. Available tag protocol options are:
|
Component ID | The ID of the Component into which the VCE will be attached. Specifying 0 indicates that the system shall automatically assign a component ID. |
Frame Type | Specifies the type of frames that will be selected for handling by this VCE. Available options are:
|
Relay Action | Select the action to be performed on incoming frames.
|
TP A | Use this parameter to configure the incoming Terminal Point (TP). The TP A is a virtual UNI (User Network Interface) port. It can be either:
|
TP Z | Use this parameter to configure the outgoing Terminal Point (TP). The TP Z is always a virtual NNI (Network Network Interface) port. It can be either:
|
TP A Port | The TP A Port defines the Ingress port of VCE. |
TP Z Port | The TP Z Port defines the Egress port of VCE. |
TP A VID | The TP A VID is used to assign a VID to frames. When Frame Type is configured as 'untagged' the option is unavailable. A single VLAN-ID chosen from the range 1–4094 is assigned to this parameter. If the Frame Type is Customer, multiple VLANIDs may be specified in the following format: [-],[-] ...(e.g. 1, 2, 100–200 will include VIDs 1, 2, 100, 101, 102, 103... 200). |
TP Z VID | The TP Z VID is applicable when 'vid-relay-action' is set to 'translate' or 'tag'. Only a single value for the VID may be specified. |
CoS Mapping
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
TP A PCP Mapping | The TP A PCP Mapping is the ingress CoS profile name with the type PCP. |
TP Z PCP Mapping | The TP Z PCP Mapping is the egress CoS profile name with the type PCP. |
VCE Examples
This section provides examples of how to set up the VCEs required for two different types of sessions on the unit:
