9 — 9500 MPR service management and service tunnels
9-6 September 2013 Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager, Release 11.0 R5
3HE 08459 AAAA TQZZA Edition 01
MPR User Guide
• NEtO services support is limited to the scenarios described in the 5620 SAM
release description.
• VLAN path creation is limited to one radio/fiber ring.
• When configuring services with the 5620 SAM that are cross-connected, see the
node documentation.
• Complete service feature support is limited to only services provisioned from the
5620 SAM. Alcatel-Lucent does not recommend provisioning services in tandem
with the NEtO.
• Adjacent Ethernet links are not supported for VLL services.
• The 5620 SAM supports the TDM2TDMoETH service profile using the
TDM2TDM service profile for VLL services over Ethernet links.
• Services across different VLAN groups are not supported.
• VLAN groups are not mandatory for VLL services; if VLL services are not added
to a VLAN group, VLAN space management is not supported.
• The operational state of VLAN services over rings does not consider the state of
the working or protected ring path; the operational state service is calculated
based on the network and access port state.
• The conversion of ring path to tail-based ring path is not supported
• The discovery of VLAN paths and services by the 5620 SAM is based on the
service components deployed on the nodes.
• The MAC address for services involving the TDM2TDMoETH service profile is
automatically calculated and populated based on unicast or multicast. Manual
configuration is not supported.
• You can discover ERPS/Fiber ring and tail-based services using the discovery
button on the 5620 SAM GUI for Release 11.0R3 or later.
• You can only discover VLAN services with the 5620 SAM if the nodes are part
of a VLAN group.
• If the VLAN group or VLAN path are configured with ERPS ring and tails using
the 5620 SAM, hop-based VLAN and VLL service discovery is restricted for
ERPS with tail nodes.
• Any new VLAN services discovered by the 5620 SAM will be associated with a
P2MP VLAN path, however, existing VLAN services using P2P are untouched.
9.2 9500 MPR service tunnel overview
A service tunnel is an entity used to unidirectionally direct traffic from one device to
another device. The service tunnel is provisioned to use a specific encapsulation
method, such as GRE or MPLS, and the services are then mapped to the service
tunnel.
The 9500 MPR devices can use the following service tunnel types:
• Ethernet radio ring (G.8032):
Discovery adds the Ethernet radio ring that the Ethernet Element is a member of.
