VPLS Interface Commands
Note: VPLS interface commands are supported only on 7210 SAS-M devices configured in access
uplink mode.
interface
Syntax [no] interface ip-int-name
Context config>service>vpls
This command creates a logical IP routing interface for a VPLS service. Once created, attributes such
Description
as IP address and service access points (SAP) can be associated with the IP interface.
The interface command, under the context of services, is used to create and maintain IP routing
interfaces within the VPLS service IDs. The IP interface created is associated with the VPLS
management routing instance.This instance does not support routing.
Interface names are case-sensitive and must be unique within the group of defined IP interfaces
defined for the network core router instance. Interface names in the dotted decimal notation of an IP
address are not allowed. For example, the name "1.1.1.1" is not allowed, but "int-1.1.1.1" is allowed.
Show commands for router interfaces use either interface names or the IP addresses. Use unique IP
address values and IP address names to maintain clarity. Duplicate interface names can exist in
different router instances.
Enter a new name to create a logical router interface. When an existing interface name is entered, the
user enters the router interface context for editing and configuration.
By default, no default IP interface names are defined within the system. All VPLS IP interfaces must
be explicitly defined in an enabled state.
The no form of this command removes the IP interface and the entire associated configuration. The
interface must be administratively shutdown before issuing the no interface command.
For VPLS services, the IP interface must be shutdown before the SAP on that interface is removed.
For VPLS service, ping and traceroute are the only applications supported.
ip-int-name — Specifies the name of the IP interface. Interface names must be unique within the
Parameters
If ip-int-name already exists within the service ID, the context changes to maintain that IP interface. If
ip-int-name already exists within another service ID, an error occurs and the context does not change
to that IP interface. If ip-int-name does not exist, the interface is created and the context is changed to
that interface for further command processing.

group of defined IP.
An interface name:
• Should not be in the form of an IP address.
• Can be from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters.
• If the string contains special characters (such as #,$,spaces), the entire string must be
enclosed within double quotes.
