Configuring Static Pseudowires for VPLS

1266
You can configure a VPLS domain using static pseudowires. A VPLS domain consists of
a set of PE routers that act as a single virtual Ethernet bridge for the customer sites
connected to these routers. By configuring static pseudowires for the VPLS domain, you
do not need to configure the LDP or BGP protocols that would normally be used for
signaling. However, if you configure static pseudowires, any changes to the VPLS network
topology have to be managed manually.
NOTE: In the VPLS documentation, the word router in terms such as PE router
is used to refer to any device that provides routing functions.
Static pseudowires require that you configure a set of in and out labels for each
pseudowire configured for the VPLS domain. You still need to configure a VPLS identifier
and neighbor identifiers for a static VPLS domain. You can configure both static and
dynamic neighbors within the same VPLS routing instance.
To configure a static pseudowire for a VPLS neighbor, include the
static (Protocols VPLS) {
incoming-label label;
outgoing-label label;
}
You must configure an incoming and outgoing label for the static pseudowire using the
incoming-label and outgoing-label
pseudowire's incoming traffic and destination.
To configure a static pseudowire for a VPLS neighbor, include the
the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls neighbor address]

You can also configure the
neighbor as static the backup must also be static) by including it at the

statement summary section for this statement.
To enable static VPLS on a router, you need to either configure a virtual tunnel interface
(requires the router to have a tunnel services PIC) or you can configure a label switching
interface (LSI). To configure an LSI, include the
protocols vpls static-vpls]
