Deploying and Provisioning Services
The service model provides a logical and uniform way of constructing connectivity services. The
basic steps for deploying and provisioning services can be broken down into three phases.
Phase 1: Core Network Construction
Before the services are provisioned, the following tasks should be completed:
• Build the IP or IP/MPLS core network.
• Configure routing protocols.
• Configure MPLS LSPs (if MPLS is used).
Phase 2: Service Administration
Perform preliminary policy configurations to control traffic flow, operator access, and to manage
fault conditions and alarm messages, the following tasks should be completed:
• Configure group and user access privileges.
• Build templates for QoS, filter and/or accounting policies needed to support the core
services.
Phase 3: Service Provisioning
• Provision customer account information.
• If necessary, build any customer-specific QoS, filter or accounting policies.
• Provision the customer services on the service edge routers by defining SAPs, binding
policies to the SAPs.
