Configuring a VPLS Service with CLI
A helpful command displays the service information, the BGP parameters and the SDP bindings in
use. When the discovery process is completed successfully each endpoint will have an entry for
the service.
PE134># show service l2-route-table
When only one of the endpoints has an entry for the service in the l2-routing-table, it is most likely
a problem with the RT values used for import and export. This would most likely happen when
different import and export RT values are configured using a router policy or the route-target
command.
Service specific commands continue to be available to display service specific information,
including status.
PERs6# show service sdp-using
BGP AD advertises the VPLS-ID in the extended community attribute, VSI-ID in the NLRI and
the local PE ID in the BGP next hop. At the receiving PE, the VPLS-ID is compared against
locally provisioned information to determine whether the two PEs share a common VPLS. If it is
found that they do, the BGP information is used in the signaling phase.
