In the
Service ID
field, select a unique ID for the service. You can choose any unused value from 1 to 1024.

In the
Service Type

o
MNG
– Management

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.

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.
Note
Additional configuration of the MAC address table can be performed via the CLI. See
