Configuration Flows

Configuration flows provide network operators with a template-based approach to standardizing their workflows for commissioning and provisioning new devices (Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensors and Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Modules)...

Configuration flows are well suited to configuration tasks that require operator input at execution time. For example, to configure a PAA session between a device and its aggregators. For configuration tasks that do not require user input, you sho...

Tokens are what make configuration flow templates different from configuration jobs. By using tokens in configuration flow templates, you make it possible for operators to enter values for parameters when they are preparing to execute the configurat...

A configuration flow template is essentially a configuration job that can be reused and combined with other templates in a configuration flow profile. System administrators create configuration flow templates. A configuration template allows you t...

System administrators create a configuration flow template. You can create a new template in the Configuration job page. You can also duplicate an existing configuration job or template and adjust it as necessary. A detailed procedure for creati...

A configuration flow profile is a set of configuration flow templates that are assembled to define a complete configuration workflow. When a system administrator creates a profile, he selects the templates to include in the profile. He also enters...

A configuration flow profile defines the list of configuration templates that are required for a particular workflow. A system administrator can create a variety of configuration profiles for different workflows. You create a configuration flow pr...

If you operate and maintain a network, you will use configuration flow executors to run configuration flow profiles. Each time you need to execute a configuration flow profile on one or more devices, you must create a new configuration flow executor...

A configuration flow executor sets up the final details of how a particular configuration flow profile will be executed. In a configuration flow executor, the user must: Select the configuration flow profile to apply to the network (in the Prof...

The procedure in this section explains how to create a configuration Flow Executor using a Dataset. It will be applied to a predefined list of devices: an ME reference data set and predefined list of tokens: a Flow token data set. Note : This ...

After you have created a flow executor, you or another operator can run it and view its status, as explained in this section. You can also schedule a configuration flow to be executed at a specific time or according to a schedule, in the same way ...

This article provides two examples of how to set up and execute configuration flows: "Simple Example: SNMP Agent Flow" "Two Template Example: PAA Flow" Simple Example: SNMP Agent Flow The configuration flow for the SNMP Agent step is sim...

Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F100 and F25 support E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree service types. Legacy orchestrator allows the configuration of these E-Line service types through commissioning and supports the definition of the services, the man...

The following procedure is for Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F100 and F25 Service Activation Test (SAT) and Reporting in Legacy orchestrator. The SAT test is executed via the Flow Executors page. The workflow involves: Importing profi...
