E-Tree creation wizard

Application Notes : FOXMAN-UN E-Tree Application Scenarios - Application Note : E-Tree creation wizard

This section describes sample procedures for the four scenarios listed in section Supported Basic Topologies with a low number of nodes. The are applicable in a similar manner for larger networks.

The sample procedures below assume that you have already executed the following steps, which are common to all procedures for creating an E-Tree:

1 In FOXMAN-UN, open the Homepage.

2 On the Homepage, start the “MPLS” application.

3 In the MPLS application, select the “VPLS” tab.

4 In the ribbon, start the VPLS Creation wizard by clicking on the

command.

5 In step 1 of the wizard, enter a VPLS Name and select Topology = E-Tree over VPLS.

6 Preferably select the map style “Graph” instead of “Map” in the header bar of the map. You can switch back and forth at any time between Graph and Map.

Now continue with the required procedure below:

• Create E-Tree with single Root,

• Create E-Tree with double Root and PE Dual Home,

• Create E-Tree with double Root and Broadcast,

• Create E-Tree with double Root and Root-Root connection.
