Add a MPLS Tunnel between two FOX61x Network Elements
Create and deploy an MPLS tunnel
→ Create the mapping between the core unit and the SENC1 unit ports
Proceed as follows:
1. In FOXMAN-UN start the Ethernet Security Manager:
• NEM Desktop - Application - Ethernet Security Manager….
2. In the “Mappings” tab open the “Edit” menu and click “Create”.
• The “Create Mapping” dialog opens.
3. Select the first network element.
4. In the “Central Unit Port” table select the core unit (central unit) port that has been connected to the unencrypted SENC1 unit port.
5. In the “Encryption Unit Port” table select the SENC1 unit port that has been connected to the core unit MPLS-TP port.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat the above steps for the second network element.
Result: The port mapping is defined.
→ Create a service profile
Proceed as follows:
Please note:
All profile parameters are configured as “Variable” so they can be modified later on when creating the MPLS tunnel using this profile.
1. In FOXMAN-UN start the Ethernet Networking Package:
• NEM Desktop - Application - Ethernet Networking Package….
2. In the “Service Profile” tab open the “Edit” menu and click “Create Service Profile…”.
• The “Create Service Profile” dialog opens.
3. Enter the profile parameters as required
4. Click Next.
5. Enter the class type and UNI port parameters as required
6. Click Next.
7. Enter the tunnel parameters as required
8. Click Next.
9. Enter the routing parameters as required
10. Click Finish.
Result: The service profile is created.
→ Add the network elements
Proceed as follows:
Please note:
The FOX61x network elements must have been added to the FOX61x agent before executing these steps.
1. In the “NE” tab open the “Edit” menu and click “Add NEs…”.
• The “Add NEs to ENP-Nodes Domain” dialog opens.
2. Select the first NE and click “Add to ENP Domain”.
3. Select the second NE and click “Add to ENP Domain”.
4. Click Close.
Result: The FOX61x network elements are added to the ENP domain.
→ Create the link between the two network elements
Proceed as follows:
1. In the “Link” tab open the “Edit” menu and click “Create Link…”.
• The “Create Link” dialog opens.
2. Enter the link parameters
• Name = <any name>
• A End NE = <first added NE>.
• A End TP = <MPLS-TP port on the core unit>
• Z End NE = <second added NE>.
• Z End TP = <MPLS-TP port on the core unit>
3. Click OK.
Result: The link between the two FOX61x network elements is created.
→ Create the tunnel between the two network elements
Proceed as follows:
1. In the “Tunnel” tab of the Ethernet Networking Package open the “Edit” menu and click “Create Tunnel…”.
• The “Create Tunnel” dialog opens.
2. Enter the tunnel parameters
• Name = <any name>
• Initiator = <first added NE>.
• Terminator = <second added NE>.
• Service Profile = <previously created service profile>
3. In the “Working LSP” tab click “Automatic Routing”.
4. In the “BFD” tab enter the BFD parameters as required
5. In the “Encryption” tab enter the Encryption parameters as required:
• Profile = <select an encryption profile>.
• Click “Create End-to-End Encryption”.
6. Click “Save”.
7. Click “Deploy”.
Result: The encrypted tunnel between the two FOX61x network elements is created and deployed.
On the SENC1 Crypto Engines the MPLS tunnel endpoints are created with the “TunnelId” parameter set to the “Required Segment Id” of the “Encryption” tab.
On the SENC1 Crypto Engines the MPLS tunnel endpoints are created with the “TunnelId” parameter set to the “Required Segment Id” of the “Encryption” tab.
