Note:
You can use the management service for in-band
management. For instructions on configuring in-band
management, see Configuring In-Band Management.
A service point is a logical entity attached to a physical or logical interface.
Service points define the movement of frames through the service. Each
service point includes both ingress and egress attributes. A Point-to-Point or
Multipoint service can hold up to 32 service points. A Management service can
hold up 30 service points.

General Guidelines for Provisioning Ethernet Services
When provisioning Ethernet services, it is recommended to follow these
guidelines:
Use the same Service ID for all service fragments along the path of the
service.
Do not re-use the same Service ID within the same region. A region is
defined as consisting of all IP-20 devices having Ethernet connectivity
between them.
Use meaningful EVC IDs.
Give the same EVC ID (service name) to all service fragments along the
path of the service.
Do not reuse the same EVC ID within the same region.
It is recommended to follow these guidelines for creating service points:
Always use SNP service points on NNI ports and SAP service points on UNI
ports.
For each logical interface associated with a specific service, there should
never be more than a single service point.
The transport VLAN ID should be unique per service within a single region.
That is, no two services should use the same transport VLAN ID.
