In the Service ID field, select a unique ID for the service. You can choose any unused value
from 1 to 1024. Once you have added the service, you cannot change the Service ID. Service ID

In the Service Type field, select the service type:
o
MP – Multipoint

MNG – Management

P2P – Point-to-Point

Optionally, in the EVC ID field, enter an Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) ID (up to 20
characters). This parameter does not affect the network element’s behavior, but is used by the
NMS for topology management.
6.
Optionally, in the EVC Description field, enter a text description of the service (up to 64
characters). This parameter does not affect the network element’s behavior, but is used by the
NMS for topology management.
7.
In the Admin field, select one of the following options:
o
Operational - The service is functional.
o
Reserved - The service is disabled until this parameter is changed to Operational. In this
mode, the service occupies system resources but is unable to receive and transmit data.
8.
In the MAC table size field, enter the maximum MAC address table size for the service. The
MAC address table is a source MAC address learning table used to forward frames from one
service point to another. You can select a value from 16 to 131,072, in multiples of 16. This
maximum only applies to dynamic, not static, MAC address table entries.
