Configuring BGP Signaling for VPLS

Copyright © 2016, Juniper Networks, Inc.
You can configure BGP signaling for the VPLS routing instance. BGP is used to signal the
pseudowires linking each of the PE routers participating in the VPLS routing instance.
The pseudowires carry VPLS traffic across the service provider's network between the
VPLS sites.
NOTE: You cannot configure both BGP signaling and LDP signaling for the
same VPLS routing instance. If you attempt to configure the statements that
enable BGP signaling for the VPLS routing instance (the
and statements) and the statements that enable LDP signaling
site-range
for the same instance (the
operation fails.
NOTE: In the VPLS documentation, the word router in terms such as PE router
is used to refer to any device that provides routing functions.
Configure BGP signaling for the VPLS routing instance by completing the steps in the
following sections:
Configuring the VPLS Site Name and Site Identifier on page 23
Configuring Automatic Site Identifiers for VPLS on page 24
Configuring the Site Range on page 25
Configuring the VPLS Site Interfaces on page 27
Configuring the VPLS Site Preference on page 27

Configuring the VPLS Site Name and Site Identifier

When you configure BGP signaling for the VPLS routing instance, on each PE router you
must configure each VPLS site that has a connection to the PE router. All the Layer 2
circuits provisioned for a VPLS site are listed as the set of logical interfaces (using the
statement) within the
interface
You must configure a site name and site identifier for each VPLS site.
To configure the site name and the site identifier, include the
statements:
site site-name {
interface interface-name {
interface-mac-limit limit;
}
site-identifier identifier;
}
The numerical identifier can be any number from 1 through 65,534 that uniquely identifies
the local VPLS site.
