MPLS Provisioning


The service provider's backbone is comprised of the core provider edge (PE) device and its provider routers. An MPLS VPN consists of a set of customer sites that are interconnected through an MPLS provider core network. At each site, there are one or more customer edge (CE) devices, which attach to one or more PEs.

Cisco Prime Fulfillment provisioning engine for MPLS accesses the configuration files on both the CE and PE to compute the necessary changes to the configuration files to support the service on the PE to CE link (or PE to CLE, PE to MVRFCE to CE, or PE to MVRFCE to CLE).

This chapter describes MPLS VPN service concepts and the steps required to provision MPLS VPN services using the Prime Fulfillment API. The provisioning example includes the process flow from creating the inventory to auditing the service deployment.

For information on MPLS provisioning using the Prime Fulfillment GUI, see the Cisco Prime Fulfillment User Guide 6.2.

This chapter contains the following sections:

MPLS Service Definitions

MPLS Service Requests

End-to-End Provisioning Process.

MPLS Service Definitions

An MPLS service definition defines attributes for the policy type (MPLSPolicyAttributes), and can include the CE routing community (CERC) membership and redistributed protocol information.

CERC membership defines the CE routing community for this policy and is represented by the VPN routing and forwarding tables (VRFs), and the redistributed protocols define the metric attributes. MPLS policy attributes are described in the MPLS Policy Attributes section.

Schema Diagram

Figure 6-1 shows the schema diagram for an MPLS service definition.

Figure 6-1 MPLS Service Definition Schema Diagram

For each service definition property, you can set an additional attribute, editable=true, to allow the network operator to override these attributes when creating the service request. If an attribute is set to editable=false, these attributes cannot be changed in the service request.


Note When a property has the additional attribute editable=true, all the related and child attributes are also editable.

MPLS Policy Attributes

The MPLS policy attributes include; the policy subtype, device interfaces and encapsulation types, IP addressing schemes, routing protocols, and VPN membership information. These values are set based on the policy subtype.

The following MPLS policy subtypes are supported:

PE_CE—A standard MPLS policy for the PE_CE link. This is the default MPLS policy for Prime Fulfillment.

PE_NO_CE—In this policy type, you specify only the PE interface information. The CE device at the customer location is not managed by Prime Fulfillment.

PE_MVRFCE_CE—A Multi-VPN routing and forwarding CE (MVRFCE) network has multiple CE devices that connect to one MVRFCE device. The MVRFCE stores the VRFs for all VPNs in the customer network and connects directly with the PE device at the edge of the provider network. Prime Fulfillment manages the PE to MVRFCE to CE link.

PE_MVRFCE_NO_CE—Prime Fulfillment manages the PE to MVRFCE link. The CE device at the customer site is not managed by Prime Fulfillment.


Note For all policy subtypes with no CE present, you do not declare the CE devices to be CPEs, and you do not set policy attributes for the CE devices in the service definition.


There are numerous properties that can be set for an MPLS policy. Figure 6-2 shows a partial schema diagram for the MPLSPolicAttributes with SubType=PE_CE.

Policy Examples

The following XML gives an example of how policy attributes might be used.

Create Bundled/Physical Interface

This example describes a service definition for a bundle interface configuration. A policy is created with the interface type Bundle-Ether interface.

MPLS Service Requests

An MPLS service request specifies the MPLS policy (service definition) to use, the list of links, referred to as MPLS VPN links, and the link attributes. Use the link attribute settings in the service request to override any policy settings defined as editable in the service definition.


Note You can also integrate an Prime Fulfillment template with an MPLS service request and associate one or more templates to the CPE and PE devices. See Chapter 4 "Using Templates," for more information.


Prime Fulfillment supports an extensive list of properties that can be set for MPLS VPN links. Figure 6-3 shows a partial schema diagram for the MplsVpnLink in a service request.

Figure 6-3 MPLS VPN Link Schema Diagram

Service Request Examples

The following XML examples illustrate how MPLS APIs can be used. They also demonstrate the kinds of properties that need to be specified for each request.

In the following examples, significant attributes are highlighted in bold.

Examples of these three features are included below:

Create Independent Route Target

Create Static Route Configuration

Create BGP Max Prefix with Second VLAN ID and BGP DIO

Create EIGRP Key Chain

Create OSPF Default Info Originate

Create Independent Route Target

In this example, a service order is created with a unique route target for IPv4 and IPv6.

The attribute relevant for the unique route target example is CERC_RTTYPE (in bold below). The preferred values for CERC_RTTYPE tag are IPv4, IPv6 and dual. If the RT Type mentioned does not match with IPv4 or IPv6 or dual, it will throw an error.

Note the following:

The unique RT feature is supported only for IOS XR devices and only when the corresponding DCPL property is set to true.

When a service request is created, the RT Type of the CERCs mentioned in the CERC_MEMBERSHIP should be indicated.

When modifying a service request, a new CERC of RT Type can be added according to the address family only. Otherwise, it will throw error.

If the CERC_RTTYPE tag is not indicated when modifying the script, the newly added CERC will take RT Type as its address family.

When modifying a service request, the CERC_RTTYPE of an existing CERC can be modified.

When modifying a CERC of RT Type dual to IPv6, pass the CERC name with the RT Type to be modified.

Example:

cerc1=dual is the RT Type at the time the service request is created. This now needs to be changed to IPv6 and when modifying the script, pass cerc1=IPv6 in the CERC_RTTYPE tag. Then the cerc1 RT configuration will be changed to IPv6.

If a CERC needs to be deleted, specify the CERC name in deleteInstance. The specified CERC will be deleted.


Note When creating a service request for dual address family, the RT configuration can be IPv4 and IPv6, or dual. There should be two CERCs, one with IPv4 and another with IPv6, or one CERC with the RT configuration dual. If a service request is created for IPV4 address family, the RT configuration should be only IPv4, and if it is created for IPv6 address family, it should be only IPv6.

Create Static Route Configuration

In this example XML script, a static route configuration is created. Both the IPv4 attribute Static_Next_Hop_Option and the IPv6 attribute Static_Next_Hop_Option_IPV6 are given the new value OUTGOING_INTF_NAME_NEXT_HOP_IPADDR when the service request is created.

The preferred values for Static_Next_Hop_Option are OUT_GOING_INTF_NAME, NEXT_HOP_IPADDR, and OUTGOING_INTF_NAME_NEXT_HOP_IPADDR.

Other relevant attributers are the IPv4 attribute STATIC_NEXT_HOP_IP_ADDR, which is set to 2.22.29.28 and the IPv6 attribute STATIC_NEXT_HOP_IPV6_ADDR, which is set to 89::68.


Note In the PE_CE case, no values have been specified for Next Hop Ip Address. For PE_NO_CE, the Next Hop Ip Address value should be specified when selecting NEXT_HOP_IPADDR or OUTGOING_INTF_NAME_NEXT_HOP_IPADDR for Static_Next_Hop_Option.

View the status of the API by executing

runNbi x $PRIMEF_HOME/resources/nbi/xml/examples/Session/Login.xml

If the API is running, you receive a session token. (see Checking the API Status.)

Step 2 Create Inventory.

CreateProvider.xml—Create a provider.

CreateRegion.xml—Create a region.

CreateOrganization.xml—Create customer organization.

CreateSite.xml—Create customer site.

CreateCiscoRouter.xml—Create devices (Cisco IOS router).

CreateCat.xml—Create devices (Catalyst switch).

CreatePE.xml—Declare a device as PE and assign it to regions.

CreateCpe.xml—Declare a device as CPE and assign it to sites.

For more information, see Create Inventory.

Step 3 Create Resource Pools.

Create a VPN and select a CERC:

CreateRouteTarget.xml—Inform PEs which routes should be inserted into the appropriate VRFs.

CreateRouteDistinguisher.xml—Help the CE router advertise IP subnets to the PE routers. The RD value must be a globally unique value to avoid conflict with other prefixes.

CreateCERC.xml—Create a CERC.

CreateVPN.xml—Create a VPN.

For more information, see Create Resource Pools.

Step 4 Collect Device Configurations.

CreateTaskServiceOrderCollection.xml—upload the current configuration from the device to the Prime Fulfillment database.

For more information, see Collect Device Configurations.

Step 5 Create an MPLS Policy.

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_PE_CE.xml—Define a policy template for a PE-CE link.

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_PE_NO_CE.xml—Define a policy template for a PE-no CE link.

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_MVRF_CE.xml—Define a policy template for a MVRF-CE link.

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_MVRF_NO_CE.xml—Define a policy template for a MVRF-no CE link.

For more information, see Create an MPLS Policy.

Step 6 Create an MPLS Service Request.


Note To modify a service request, see Modifying a Service Request. To delete or purge a service request, you need the returned Locator ID. (See Step 7.) For examples of modify and delete operations, go to examples.tar under the MPLS directory.


Define which service definition to use, the MplsVpnLink, and the link attributes:

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_PE_CE.xml—Create service request using the PE-CE policy.

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_PE_NO_CE.xml—Create service request using the PE-noCE policy.

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_MVFR_CE.xml—Create service request using the MVRF-CE policy.

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_MVRF_NO_CE.xml—Create service request using the MVRF-no CE policy.

For more information, see Creating an MPLS Service Request.

Step 7 When you submit a service order XML request, Prime Fulfillment returns a LocatorId in the XML response.

Make a record of the Locator ID or service name for all service orders and service requests. The locator

ID is required to view a service order, to perform a service order task (configuration audit or functional

audit), and for all subsequent requests related to the service order or service request.

For more information, see Service Order Response.

Step 8 Using the LocatorId, you can view the log output for the created and deployed service request. This includes all messages according to the level specified in the properties file.

For more information, see Viewing Task Logs.


Detailed Process and Attributes

This MPLS provisioning example includes the following operations:

1. Create Inventory

2. Create Resource Pools

3. Collect Device Configurations

4. Create an MPLS Policy

5. Creating an MPLS Service Request

6. Auditing Service Requests.

This section provides an example provisioning process using XML examples. The inventory of XML examples for the Prime Fulfillment API is available here: Cisco Prime Fulfillment API Programmer Reference 6.2.

Create Inventory


Step 1 Create a Provider and Region.

The provider is the administrative domain of an Internet service provider (ISP), with one border gateway protocol (BGP) autonomous system (AS) number. The network owned by the provider is called the backbone network. If an ISP has two AS numbers, you must define it as two provider administrative domains (PADs). Each provider can contain multiple regions.

Create Resource Pools

For MPLS provisioning, you define route targets, route distinguishers, CERCs, and VPNs.

A route target informs PEs which routes should be inserted into the appropriate VRFs. Every VPN route is tagged with one or more route targets when it is exported from a VRF and offered to other VRFs.

The IP subnets advertised by the CE routers to the PE routers are augmented with route distinguishers (RDs). The RD value must be a globally unique value to avoid conflict with other prefixes.

Collect Device Configurations

A device configuration collection is a task. This task uploads the current configuration from the device to the Prime Fulfillment database. The collection task is executed through a service request, and the service request is scheduled using a service order.

Create an MPLS Policy

An MPLS service policy (defined in a service definition) is a template of the parameters needed to define a service request. Once you have defined the policy template, it can be used by all MPLS service requests that share a common set of attributes.

An MPLS service definition consists of the MplsPolicyAttributes. The MplsPolicyAttributes define the properties specific to the policy subtype.

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_PE_NO_CE.xml

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_MVRF_CE.xml

CreateMPLSServiceDefn_MVRF_NO_CE.xml.

Creating an MPLS Service Request

An MPLS service request defines the service definition to use, the MplsVpnLink and the link attributes. The MplsVpnLink specifies the device interfaces involved in this service request. The link attributes contain any policy setting overrides for properties set as editable in the service definition. A service request can specify one or more MPLS VPN links.


Note Use performBatchOperation to group the service order and service request into one XML request.



Note The service request name must be unique for each NBI API.

Note The attributes PE_Template, PE_Intf_Template, CE_Template, and CE_Intf_Template allow NBI access to variables designed to hold template blobs (template blobs were used during MPLS provisioning in legacy versions of Prime Fulfillment).


XML Examples:

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_PE_CE.xml

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_PE_NO_CE.xml

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_MVFR_CE.xml

CreateMPLSServiceOrder_MVRF_NO_CE.xml.

Auditing Service Requests

A configuration audit occurs automatically each time you deploy a service request. During this configuration audit, Prime Fulfillment verifies that all Cisco IOS commands are present and that they have the correct syntax. An audit also verifies that there were no errors during deployment by examining the commands configured by the service request on the target devices. If the device configuration does not match what is defined in the service request, the audit flags a warning and sets the service request to a Failed Audit or Lost state.

If you do not want the configuration audit to occur, change the value for the Audit parameter. The Audit parameter supports these values:

Audit—This is the default. A successfully deployed service request is automatically audited unless this flag is changed.

NoAudit—Do not perform a configuration audit when the service request is deployed.

ForceAudit—Perform a configuration audit even if the service request deployment is not successful.

You can use the Audit parameter with a Create, Modify, or Decommission service request or a Deployment task. See the "Service Decommission" section for more information. To perform a configuration audit as a separate task, or an MPLS functional audit, see the "Tasks" section.
