epipe
Syntax [no] epipe service-id [customer customer-id] [create] [vpn vpn-id] [vc-switching]
Context config>service
Description This command configures a point-to-point Ethernet service. An Epipe connects two endpoints defined
as SAPs. Both SAPs are defined on separate routers (7705 SAR routers or other Alcatel-Lucent
service routers) connected over the service provider network. When the endpoint SAPs are separated
by the service provider network, the far-end SAP is generalized into an SDP. This SDP describes a
destination 7705 SAR and the encapsulation method used to reach it.
No MAC learning or filtering is provided (or needed) on an Epipe.
When a service is created, the customer keyword and customer-id must be specified, which
associates the service with a customer. The customer-id must already exist, having been created using
the customer command in the service context. Once a service has been created with a customer
association, it is not possible to edit the customer association. The service must be deleted and
recreated with a new customer association.
Once a service is created, the use of the customer customer-id is optional for navigating into the
service configuration context. Attempting to edit a service with the incorrect customer-id specified
will result in an error.
By default, Epipe services do not exist until they are explicitly created with this command.
The no form of this command deletes the Epipe service instance with the specified service-id. The
service cannot be deleted until the service has been shut down.
Parameters service-id — uniquely identifies a service in the service domain. This ID must be unique to this
service and may not be used for any other service of any type. The service-id must be the same
number used for every 7705 SAR on which this service is defined.
Values 1 to 2147483647
customer-id — specifies the customer ID number to be associated with the service. This parameter is
required on service creation and optional for service editing or deleting.
Values 1 to 2147483647
create — keyword used to create an Epipe. The create keyword requirement can be enabled/disabled
in the environment>create context
vpn-id — specifies the VPN ID number that allows you to identify virtual private networks (VPNs) by
a VPN ID. If this parameter is not specified, the VPN ID uses the same service ID number.
Values 1 to 2147483647
Default null (0)
vc-switching —
specifies that pseudowire switching signaling is used for the spoke SDPs configured
