Cisco Cisco Prime Fulfillment Provisioning 6.1 Documentation Roadmaps

Managing L2VPN and Carrier Ethernet Services

This part of the user guide provides information for the VPN technologies: 
the Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) (point-to-point) technology, 
with access technologies such as ATM, FrameRelay, and Ethernet (Carrier 
Ethernet); and the Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) 
(point-to-multipoint) technology, with access technology Ethernet (Carrier 
Ethernet) on Layer 2 and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) cores.

Managing MPLS VPN Services

MPLS-based VPNs are created in Layer 3 and are based on the peer model, 
which makes them more scalable and easier to build and manage than 
conventional VPNs. This user guide explains the tasks and step-by-step 
procedures you need to perform to set up the MPLS VPN network 
infrastructure in Prime Fulfillment and deploy the MPLS VPN service on the 
network. 

Managing MPLS Traffic EngineeringServices

This part of the user guide explains how to use Traffic Engineering 
Management (TEM), which is a tool for managing MPLS Traffic Engineering 
(TE) primary and backup tunnels for the purpose of offering Service Level 
Agreement (SLA) guarantees for your network traffic.

Performing Diagnostics

This part of the user guide provides details of all failure scenarios and 
observations reported by the Diagnostics application for Prime Fulfillment. It 
also lists all IOS and IOS XR commands executed by the troubleshooting 
workflows.

Prime Diagnostics is an automated, decision tree analysis-based network 
management application that troubleshoots and diagnoses problems in 
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs. Prime Diagnostics enables 
you to reduce the amount of time required to diagnose MPLS-related network 
outages.
