Epipe Configuration
In the previous part we have talked about the VPWS service of Alcatel-Lucent. In this article we will
focus on the configuration of the VPWS Service on Alcatel-Lucent devices.
As you know, there are types of VPWS. Epipe, Fpipe, Apipe, Cpipe and Ipipe are these types. The most
important and widely used is Epipe service. So, here, we will start with Epipe service configuration.
Epipe service is the point-to-point Ethernet service between two Ethernet nodes as we have talked
before. Ethernet is a widely used technology, so with ethernet, VPWS Epipe service become widely used
beside other types.
Let’s see how this configuration can be done now.

VPWS - Part 3 (Fpipe, Apipe and Cpipe Configuration)
1. Configure an epipe service with a “Service-ID” and a “Customer ID”
RouterA # configure service
RouterA>config>service # epipe 1 customer 5 create
RouterA>config>service>epipe # description "epipe service"
RouterA>config>service>epipe # no shutdown
2. Define SAP, the interface to the customer
RouterA>config>service>epipe # sap 1/1/2 create
RouterA>config>service>epipe>sap # no shutdown
RouterA>config>service>epipe>sap # exit
3. Associate an SDP
RouterA>config>service # epipe 1 customer 5
RouterA>config>service>epipe # spoke-sdp 2:1
RouterA>config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp # exit
RouterA>config>service>epipe # no shutdown
SDP is defined unidirectional. So I will give the remote point’s configuration to emphasize some points. In
the “spoke-sdp 2:1″ command, the first 2 is the “SDP-ID” and the 1 is the “VC-ID”. SDP-ID can be
different at the remote node but VC-ID must be the same for both nodes. Check the remote node SDP
association below to understand this point.
RouterB>config>service # epipe 2 customer 5

RouterB>config>service>epipe # spoke-sdp 3:1
RouterB>config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp # exit
4. Enable the Service
RouterB>config>service # epipe 2 customer 5
RouterB>config>service>epipe # no shutdown
5. Verification
There are some verification commands that you can use after service configuration. For our configuration,
we can use these commands like below:
show service customer
show service id 2 base
show service id 2 all
show service id 2 labels
show service service-using epipe
show service sap-using sap 1/1/3
show service sdp
show service sdp 50 detail
show service id 2 sdp 50 detail
show service sdp-using 50
Generally the epipe creation is like this. In the next article we will see the Fpipe, Apipe and Cpipe
configurations.
You can also define egress and igress filters to interfaces or you can do QoS on interfaces in epipe service.
All these, are the lesson of another article ;) In the following articles you can find these specific
configuration too. Until that time, keep on ;)

Gokhan,
Thanks for the example. It make sense to me. I recently joined a new company which has a number of cell
backhaul sites. When looking at the configs of the equipment I noticed that our folks do this a little
different than you. We use Alcatel-Lucent gear. They create a customer facing SAP and link it via an epipe
to the local uplink port. Another SAP on that port connect to and SDP to the PE router. My question is
why create the internal epipe? Your opinion please?

hello,
Have you got a way of setting up a GRE tunnel between a 7750 and a Cisco router? If so,is it possible to
paste your configs of both vendor’s routers?

Hi Gokhan,
My question is like from Ty
Is it possible to set up a GRE tunnel between a 7750 and a Cisco router or between 7750 and 7750 on

network interface without service? For example the network in PE1(7750)-P(7750)-PE2(7750). How to
set up gre tunnel between PE1 and PE2? Is it possible?
