xconnect

Use the xconnect interface configuration command at customer-edge (CE) or service provider-edge (PE)

ingress and egress Ethernet ports or VLAN interfaces with a destination and virtual-connection (VC) ID

to route a Layer 2 packets over a specified point-to-point VC by using Ethernet over multiprotocol label

switching (EoMPLS). You can also bind the VC to a pseudowire. Use the no form of this command on

both edge devices to delete the VC.

Usage Guidelines

An MPLS VC runs across an MPLS cloud to connect Ethernet interfaces on two provider edge devices

at each edge of the service provider network. You must enter the command at the PE device at each edge

of the service provider network to establish a bidirectional virtual connection, which consists of two

unidirectional label-switched paths (LSPs). A VC is not established if not properly defined from both

For the destination parameter, specify the LDP IP address of the other PE device; do not specify the IP

address of the device on which you are entering the command.

xconnect destination vc-id {encapsuluation mpls [pw-class pw-class-name]}

The destination label distribution protocol (LDP) IP address of the remote

provider edge device. The IP address cannot be an IP address on the route on

which the command is entered.

Assign a virtual connection identifier (VC ID) for the virtual connection between

the two peer provider edge devices. The range is 1 to 4294967295.

Specify the MPLS data encapsulation method.

(Optional) Specify the pseudowire class for advanced configuration.
