Implementing Multipoint Layer 2 Services

Bridging on Ethernet Flow Points: Example

This example shows how to configure a to perform Layer 2 switching on traffic that passes through Ethernet
Flow Points (EFPs). EFP traffic typically has one or more VLAN headers. Although both IOS XR trunks and
IOS XR EFPs can be combined as attachment circuits in bridge domains, this example uses EFPs exclusively.
Important notes:
• An EFP is a Layer 2 subinterface. It is always created under a trunk interface. The trunk interface must
• In an empty configuration, the bundle interface trunk does not exist, but the physical trunk interfaces are
• In this example the subinterface number and the VLAN IDs are identical, but this is out of convenience,
• The bridge domain test-efp has three attachment circuits (ACs). All the ACs are EFPs.
• Only frames with a VLAN ID of 999 enter the EFPs. This ensures that all the traffic in this bridge domain
• The ACs in this example use interfaces that are in the admin down state (unresolved state). Bridge
