Configuring the VPLS Encapsulation Type

You can configure the VPLS routing instance to take down or maintain its VPLS
connections depending on the status of the interfaces configured for the VPLS routing
instance. By default, the VPLS connection is taken down whenever a customer-facing
interface configured for the VPLS routing instance fails. This behavior can be explicitly
configured by specifying the
connectivity-type ce;
You can alternatively specify that the VPLS connection remain up so long as an Integrated
Routing and Bridging (IRB) interface is configured for the VPLS routing instance by
specifying the irb option for the
connectivity-type irb;
To ensure that the VPLS connection remain up until explicitly taken down, specify the
option for the
permanent connectivity-type
connectivity-type permanent;
This option is reserved for use in configuring Layer 2 Wholesale subscriber networks. See
the Broadband Subscriber Management Solutions Guide for details about configuring a
Layer 2 Wholesale network.

You can specify a VPLS encapsulation type for the pseudowires established between
VPLS neighbors. The encapsulation type is carried in the LDP-signaling messages
exchanged between VPLS neighbors when pseudowires are created. You might need to
alter the encapsulation type depending on what other vendors' equipment is deployed
within your network.
VPLS effectively provides a bridge between Ethernet networks. As a consequence, only
two encapsulation types are available:
—Ethernet
ethernet
—Ethernet virtual LAN (VLAN)
ethernet-vlan
If you do not specify an encapsulation type for the VPLS routing instance or the VPLS
neighbor, ethernet is used.
