Configuring Bgp Vpls; Configuration Prerequisites; Configuring The Bgp Extension - HP 12500 Series Configuration Manual

To do...
Create a peer PE for the VPLS
instance
Enable the PW switchover function
and set the switchover delay time
NOTE:
• A PW to PW (P2P) mode VSI is applicable only to point to point MPLS L2VPN.
To configure a multi-hop PW, specify the p2p keyword when you create a VPLS instance to enable the
•
P2P capability, and specify the two peer PEs by using the peer command in the VPLS instance view to
associate two PWs.
• Up to two peer PEs can be specified for a P2P enabled VPLS instance, and one of them must be specified
as a UPE.

Configuring BGP VPLS

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure BGP VPLS, complete the following tasks:
• Configure an IGP on the MPLS backbone devices (PEs and P devices) to guarantee the IP
connectivity of the MPLS backbone. For configuration information, see Layer 3—IP Routing
Configuration Guide.
Configure basic MPLS on the MPLS backbone devices (PEs and P devices) to establish LSP tunnels
•
on the backbone network. For configuration information, see the chapter "Configuring basic
MPLS."

Configuring the BGP extension

Before configuring BGP VPLS, you need to configure BGP parameters on the PEs. For configuration
details, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.
To configure BGP extension:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Enter VPLS address family view
Activate a peer
NOTE:
For configurations in VPLS address family view, see the chapter "Configuring MPLS L3VPN."
Use the command...
peer ip-address [ { hub | spoke } |
pw-class class-name | [ pw-id
pw-id ] [ upe | backup-peer
ip-address [ backup-pw-id
pw-id ] ] ] *
dual-npe revertive [ wtr-time
wtr-time ]
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number
vpls-family
peer peer-address enable
