Creating a VPN

You can change business configurations by manually creating VPNs. The VPNs that are manually created do not contain virtual routers and sites.

To create a VPN:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree pane, select the map root.

Step 2 From the File menu, choose Add VPN.

Step 3 In the Add VPN to <Root> dialog box, click New.

Step 4 In the Create VPN dialog box, enter the following:

•Name—Enter a unique name for the new VPN.

---

Note VPN business element names are case sensitive.

---

•Icon—If you want to use a custom icon for the VPN, click the button next to the Icon field and navigate to the icon file.

---

Note If a path is not specified to an icon the default VPN icon is used (for more information about icons see Table 1-3 on page 1-7).

---

•Description—(optional) An additional VPN description.

Step 5 Click OK.

The new VPN is added to the VPN list in the Add VPN to <Root> dialog box.

---

For more information about loading the newly created VPN in the service view map, see Adding a VPN to a Map, page 2-1.

Moving a Virtual Router

You can move a virtual router (including its sites) from one VPN to another after you create a VPN and add it to the service view map.

---

Note Moving a virtual router moves all of its sites as well.

---

To move a virtual router:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree pane or the map pane, right-click the virtual router and choose Edit > Move selected.

Step 2 Right-click the required VPN in the tree or the map pane to where you want to move the virtual router and choose Edit > Move here.

---

Caution Moving a virtual router from one VPN to another affects all users who have the virtual router loaded in their service view map.

---

The virtual router and its sites are displayed under the selected VPN in the tree pane and in the map pane.

---

Adding a Tunnel to a VPN

You can add tunnels or partially configured tunnels to a VPN. LCPs with a missing peer are marked with the stranded icon. (For more information about icons see Table 1-3.) Each tunnel can be associated with only one VPN.

---

Note The topology state between LCPs is a logical link. It does not reflect the actual state of the network.

---

You can do either of the following:

•Add a tunnel (LCP) to an LCA that has been manually created (see Creating an LCA).

•Add a tunnel (LCP) directly to a VPN, in which case the LCA is automatically created beneath the VPN.

To add a tunnel to a VPN, complete the following steps.

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click an LCA or VPN and choose Topology > Add Tunnel.

The Add Tunnels dialog box (Figure 3-1) displays tunnels not currently attached to a VPN. The Tunnels tab displays the list of pseudowire tunnels (including both tunnel edges). The Stranded Peers tab displays the list of partially configured tunnel edges, so you can add an LCP without its peer, for example, if a tunnel is partially managed, an agent fails to load, or a device is incorrectly configured.

Figure 3-1 Add Tunnels Dialog Box

Step 2 Select the tunnel or stranded peer and click Add.

One of the following occurs:

•If the tunnel or stranded peer is added under an LCA, the link between the peers appears in the map pane.

•If the tunnel or stranded peer is added under a VPN, Cisco ANA detects the starting point of the PWE3 tunnel edges and groups all the LCPs that start at the same device together into an LCA (aggregation) under the VPN.

---

Note If a tunnel exists between VPNs, for example, an extranet tunnel, add a tunnel to one VPN and then move one LCP (peer) to the VPN with which you want to create the extranet tunnel.

---

---

Removing a Tunnel

You can remove a tunnel that was added to an LCA or VPN. To remove a tunnel, in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the LCA or VPN and choose Topology > Remove Tunnel.

Both tunnel sides are removed from the map. You view them in the Add Tunnels dialog box. If the deleted tunnel formed part of an LCA that was created manually, the LCA is still displayed in the tree or map pane. If the deleted tunnel formed part of an LCA that was created automatically, the LCA is removed from the tree or map pane, provided no other LCPs exist in the LCA.

---

Note You cannot view MPLS TE tunnels in VPN service view maps. However; you can view the device and topology information. For more information, see the "Viewing MPLS TE Tunnel Information" section on page 5-13.

---

Creating an LCA

You can manually create an LCA and populate it by moving LCPs and tunnels to it. Refer to the "Moving an LCP" section and the "Adding a Tunnel to a VPN" section.

To create an LCA:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision window tree or map pane, right-click the VPN and choose Create LCA.

Step 2 In the Create LCA dialog box, enter a unique name for the new LCA.

Step 3 Click OK.

The new LCA is created. It appears in the tree pane in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision window, beneath the selected VPN, and also appears in the map pane.

---

Moving an LCA

You can move the LCA to another VPN in the service view map. When you move an LCA, all the LCPs it contains also move.

To move an LCA:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the LCA and choose Edit > Move selected.

Step 2 Right-click the VPN to which you want to move the LCA and choose Edit > Move here.

The LCA moves to the selected VPN and is displayed in the tree and map panes for the selected VPN.

---

Note All the LCPs move with the LCA.

---

---

Deleting an LCA

You can delete an LCA if it was manually created and either has no LCPs or all the LCPs have reconciliation icons. (You can also move the LCA to another VPN using the "Jumping to an Adjacent LCP" section.)

To delete the LCA:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the required LCA and choose Delete.

Step 2 Click Yes on the confirmation.

The selected LCA is deleted from the database and service view maps of all users.

---

Moving an LCP

You can move an LCP to another VPN or LCA in the service view map.

To move an LCP:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the LCA and choose Edit > Move selected.

Step 2 Right-click the VPN or LCA to which you want to move the LCP and choose Edit > Move here.

The LCP moves to the VPN or LCA and is displayed in the tree and map panes of the selected VPN or LCA.

---

Note If an LCP is moved to a VPN, an LCA is automatically created for it.

---

---

Jumping to an Adjacent LCP

If a service view map displays multiple tunnels, you can quickly access the selected LCP peer appearing in the same map.

To jump to the adjacent LCP, in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the required LCP and choose Jump to Adjacent.

The adjacent LCP is highlighted in the tree pane and map pane.

---

Renaming a Business Element

To rename business elements in service view maps:

---

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane, right-click the business element and choose Rename.

Step 2 In the Rename Node dialog box, type a new name.

Step 3 Click OK.

The changed business element name appears in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree and map panes.

---

Note Renaming a business element affects all users who have the business element loaded in their service view maps.

---

---

Deleting a Business Element

You can delete business elements from the business model (database). However, if you delete a business element from the database, it can no longer be viewed in the Add Business Element to <Root> dialog box. You generally delete business elements only when the physical elements no longer exist.

---

Caution Deleting business elements affects all users who have the business elements loaded in their service view map.

---

Table 3-1 lists the requirements that must be met before you can delete the required business element.

Table 3-1 Business Element Deletion Requirements

Business Element	Requirements
Layer 3 VPN	The VPN has no virtual routers, or, if it does, the virtual routers and sites display the reconciliation icon.
Virtual router	The virtual router contains no VRFs, sites, or interfaces, or, if it does, the VRFs, sites, and interfaces display the reconciliation icon.
Site	No sites or interfaces are connected or bound to the VRF, or, if they are connected, they display the reconciliation icon.
Layer 2 VPN	The Layer 2 VPN has no LCPs, or, if it does, the LCPs display the reconciliation icon.
