Configuring VPLS
10
If the SDP is going to use static LSPs, first disable LDP-signaled LSPs using the no form of the
configure service sdp ldp
the configure service sdp signaling
-> configure service sdp 10 no ldp
-> configure service sdp 10 signaling off
By default, auto-label signaling is enabled for SDPs; it is only necessary to disable signaling when the SDP
is associated with static LSPs, which are manually configured to handle label-mapping actions.
11
Once LDP and auto-label signaling is disabled for the SDP, then associate the necessary static LSPs
with the SDP using the
ates SDP 10 with the static LSP named "path-to-R4":
-> configure service sdp 10 lsp path-to-R4
12
Create a VPLS service and associate that service with a customer account using the
vpls create command. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 customer 10 create
13
Configure a description for the VPLS service using the
For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 description "VPLS100-CustA"
14
By default, the administrative status for the VPLS service is disabled. To enable the service, use the
configure service vpls shutdown
-> configure service vpls 100 no shutdown
15
Bind the VPLS service to the SDP tunnel using the
example, the following command binds VPLS service 100 to mesh SDP 10:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 10 create
16
Configure customer-facing ports using the
example:
-> configure service port 1/2 mode access
17
Configure the encapsulation type for the access port using the
command. The encapsulation type determines if the port will support one or multiple Service Access
Points (SAPs). For example, use the null option to support only one SAP on the port:
-> configure service port 1/2 encap-type null
The following command example configures the port to support multiple SAPs (VLAN 802.1q tags):
-> configure service port 1/4 encap-type dot1q
18
Create a Service Access Point (SAP) using the
example, the following command creates a SAP on access port 1/4 that will direct customer traffic that is
802.1q-tagged with VLAN ID 50 to service 100:
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 1/4:50

command then disable auto-label signaling (targeted LDP) for the SDP using
