IES Service
An Internet Enhanced Service (IES) is a routed connectivity service where the subscriber
communicates with an IP (Layer 3) router interface to send and receive Internet traffic.
The 7750 SR buffers service traffic and shapes it to conform to SLA parameters. Buffer allocation is
programmable per-service to accommodate different maximum burst sizes (MBS). Each service can
use multiple queues to enable shaping, policing and marking of different flows. The 7750 SR can
also shape and police on service egress so customers can purchase sub-rate services (e.g. Internet
services) with asymmetric SLAs.
Characteristics
Service Access Point (SAP) acts as the access point to the subscribers network
SAP supports multiple encapsulation types, such as: Ethernet null, dot1q, q-in-q, SONET/SDHIPCP, BCP-null, BCP-dot1q and ATM.
Supports VRRP, Cflowd, secondary IP addresses, and ICMP options on customer IP interfaces
Interface supports RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP.
QoS and filter policies
Does not require a Service Distribution Path (SDP); traffic is routed rather than being
encapsulated in a tunnel

Services must be associated with a customer. Though a service may only have one customer, that customer
may have more than one associated to them.
To create a Customer using the 5620 SAM, the network administrator or operator will use the following
sequence:
From the Main Menu, select Manage Customers
In the new window, click on the Create button
Complete the customers details as provided in the configuration window
Click on the OK button.
To verify that the customer was created, or edit any detail:
Select Manage Customers from the Main Menu
Click on the Search button
Double-click on the appropriate entry or, select the appropriate customer and click on the Edit button.
Review or modify the details, as required.
Click OK or Apply to save the changes or Cancel to disregard any modifications and close the window.
847
As discussed, a service requires a port facing the customer edge to be configured for Access and an
Encapsulation type specified. To configure a port:
Navigate to the Equipment view in the Navigation Tree
Expand the tree and select the appropriate port or ports. It is possible to configure multiple ports at the
same time by through the Shift Click or Ctrl Click method.
Right-click and select Properties from the contextual menu
From the Mode drop-down menu, select Access
From the Encapsulation Type drop-down menu, select the appropriate encapsulation type
Set the port MTU. Remember that the port MTU must be set to a value set to support the largest service
MTU to be supported on that port.
Select OK to complete the configuration.
848
To create a service, select the service type and assign the managed devices upon which the service will
terminate, referred to as the Service Sites.
To create an IES:
Select Create Service IES from the Main Menu
Click the Select button in the Customer block
Select a customer from the list that appears and click the OK button
Complete the remaining parameters, as required. Though optional, providing a service name and relevant
description will enable the network administrator or operator to find the service more quickly using the
Search filter.
Click Apply
3. Add site
849
Having clicked the Apply button, the configuration window remains open and the changes are saved in the
5620 SAM database. However, service components (Service Sites, Access Interfaces and SDP Bindings) have
yet to be configured for the service to be commissioned.
To configure service sites:
Navigate to the Components window of the service configuration form
Select IES and right-click
Select Create Site and select the sites to participate in the VPLS service from the list. This may be done
individually or by selecting multiple entries at once.
Click the OK button on the bottom of the Components window (i.e., the containing window in this case)
Confirm the sites have been added in the Components window
It is important to remember that, even though they appear in the configuration window, the changes will not
be sent to the managed devices and saved to the 5620 SAM database until the OK or Apply button at the
bottom of the window (referred to as the Containing Window) is clicked.
Create L3 Interface
8 4 10
Service Access Points are virtual interfaces to provide customer access to the service providers network. An
SAP consists of: a physical port configured to support Access points; an encapsulation type; and, an
encapsulation ID value unique to the port.
To create a SAP:
Navigate to the Component window for the service.
Navigate to the Access Interface of the appropriate Site.
Right-click and select Create L3 Access Interface.
Assign an interface name (mandatory) and complete the remaining parameters, as required.
Click the Port tab and then click the Select button.
Click the Search button. All Access ports on the managed device will appear in the list. Select the
8 4 11
The SAP also requires an encapsulation ID value that is unique to the port upon which it is being created. To
assign an encapsulation ID:
Select the Port tab.
Assign the Outer Encapsulation Value and Inner Encapsulation Value, as required. The use of
encapsulation values will be determined by the encapsulation type configured on the port being used. This
was set during the process to create an Access port, discussed earlier in the course.
Select the Address tab.
8 4 12
An IES is a Layer 3 service and will therefore require an IP Address on the SAP. To assign an IP
address to the SAP:
Open the Address tab in the service configuration window
Click on the Add button
Enter the appropriate IP address according to scheme provided. The Address ID determines
whether the IP address is either the primary (ID # 1) or a secondary address (ID# 2 16).
Configure the parameters under the remaining windows, as required. These are optional settings
and may be added at any time in the future without service interruption. These parameters
include:
ICMP: define type and rate that ICMP messages will be processed on this interface
ARP: define static entries in the ARP table. Turn on Proxy ARP and define proxy ARP policies
DHCP: configure DHCP relay, Option 82 and the DHCP lease state table.
Anti-Spoofing: turn on auto creation of anti-spoofing filters and configure static hosts
Opening the Components tab will provide a tabular view of the service configuration. Expand the
Access Interface entry to confirm that the SAP has been created and verify that its status
indicates that the interface is Up.
OK
8 4 13
Though the IES has been created, traffic will not be forwarded through the interface until it
participates in the Internal Gateway Protocols routing table. To do so, the interface must be
assigned to an Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) including an appropriate area or autonomous
system, as required by the protocol.
To configure the IES interface to participate in the IGP route table:
Open the Components tab of the IES
Navigate to the IES Access Interface and select the appropriate SAP.
Right-click and select Properties from the contextual menu
In the window that appears (L3 Access Interface), select the Protocols tab
Select the Add button.
The Create Interface window appears. From the drop-down menu, select the appropriate protocol
to which the interface will be added and click OK. Repeat this process for each of the IGP in which
this interface is to participate.
The protocol(s) will appear in the list.
Select OK to complete the configuration and deploy the changes to the 5620 SAM database and
network element(s).
The IES will now be able to pass traffic through the SAP.
In the new window (L3 Access Interface), click on the Select button in the Routing Instance
portion of the configuration window
List the available routing instances by clicking on the Search button. Using Search filters can
refine the list.
Select the appropriate routing instance from the list and click OK
Protocol Properties
8 4 14
As part of the service providers policy in providing the IES, it may be necessary to modify the
default actions of the IGP on this interface. For example, the IES interface may be used to provide
routing to another carriers network, in which case, it may be desirable to prevent the exchange
of routing tables by configuring the interface for Passive mode.
To modify the IGP properties for an IES interface:
Navigate to and select the IES SAP in the Components tab of the service.
Select the Properties from the contextual menu.
Select the Protocols tab, select the protocol instance and then select the Properties button,
which will open the OSPF Interface window.
Click on the Protocol Properties tab.
Configure the parameters, as require and then click on OK at the bottom of the list to save the
changes.
Manage IES
8 4 15
Once created, the network administrator or operator is able to view and/ or manage the IES from
the 5620 SAM GUI.
To manage or view the IES service configuration:
Select Manage Services from the Main Menu
Set the Search filter parameters, as required
Click on the Search button
Select the service from the list, and double click on the service.
The configuration window appears on the screen. Service configuration information is provided
under the appropriate tabs listed at the top of the window. Parameters in drop-down menus or in
the white blocks may be changed. Changes to an existing service will prompt a warning to which
the network administrator or operator will be required to acknowledge before changes will be
affected.
Viewing a graphical representation of the service is possible by clicking on the Topology View
button of either window. An example is provided on the next page.
Service Type
Service ID: Site ID
8 4 16
The Service Topology View displays the service components configuration and status information at
a glance.
Information available includes:
Service Type indicated within the Site icon (VPLS, in this case). The Service ID and Site ID
are posted below the icon.
Service Access Point the square with two arrows contained within the icon. The Port ID and
Outer and Inner Encapsulation ID are posted below the icon.
Select any component in the Topology View. Right-clicking provides a contextual menu for the
selected item.
Color coding is used to indicate Fault conditions based upon the ITU-T X.733 standard (discussed
later in the course). In the picture above, green indicates that the service components are
reporting a normal operational status. The check mark indicates that the managed device is in
active communication with the 5620 SAM.
