Junos Space Network Activate software enables you to provision point-to-point and
multipoint services across networks. You provision point-to-point services across networks
that use LDP for signaling in the network core. These services use directed pseudowire
virtual circuits across the network to establish point-to-point virtual private networks
(VPNs). You provision multipoint services across networks that use BGP signaling in the
network core. These VPLS services use route targets and route distinguishers to establish
service connectivity. The Network Activate software supports multipoint-to-multipoint
(full mesh) services and point-to-multipoint (hub and spoke) services.
The Network Activate application supports the following new features:
Aggregated Ethernet interfaces—UNI interfaces for prestaged PE devices can be
aggregated Ethernet (ae) interfaces.
Fast Ethernet interfaces—UNI interfaces for prestaged PE devices can be Fast Ethernet
(fe) interfaces. Fast Ethernet (fe) interface support is limited to specific Ethernet
service configurations (on M Series devices with Junos 10.2R1.6). See "Prestaging
Devices Overview" in the Network Activate user documentation for more information.
Force Deploying a Service—When a service fails a configuration audit because
configuration changes on a PE device do not match the configuration required for the
service, you can force deploy the service to push the configuration to the device. Force
Deployment pushes the same configuration to the device that was pushed during the
deployment of the service, thus allowing the operator to recover from a state in which
the configuration on the device was lost or changed out-of-band.
Multihomed groups—Create one or more multihomed groups to connect a customer
site to multiple N-PE routers to provide redundant connectivity across a VPLS site
while preventing the formation of Layer 2 loops in the service provider's network. A
VPLS site multihomed to two or more N-PE routers provides redundant connectivity
in the event of a PE-router-to-CE-device link failure or the failure of an N-PE router.
QoS-enabled Ethernet services—Attach a QoS profile to a point-to-point or multipoint
(VPLS) service to define levels of service for UNI ingress and UNI egress traffic at the
provider edge.
Services with flexible VLAN tagging—Specify the asymmetric tag height Ethernet
option to enable flexible VLAN tagging on VPLS services. A service with flexible VLAN
tagging allows transport of Ethernet frames between UNI endpoints with mixed
