Virtual Private LAN Service
(2 of 2)
252
Item Description
Description This command creates or modifies a Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) instance. The
configure service vpls command is used to create or maintain a v-VPLS service or an
m-VPLS service, depending on the context specified by the operator. If the service-id does not
exist, a context for the service is created. If the service-id exists, the context for editing the
service is entered.
When a service is created, the customer keyword and customer-id must be specified and
associates the service with a customer. The customer-id must already have been created
using the customer command in the service context (note that value "1" needs not be created
by the operator since it is automatically created at system startup). Once a service is created,
the use of the customer customer-id is optional for navigating into the service configuration
context. Attempting to edit a service with the incorrect customer-id specified will result in an
error.
To create a management VPLS, the m-VPLS keyword must be specified to the configure
service vpls command. In the ISAM, one m-VPLS is required to group different VPLS
instances under a single remote spanning Tree protocol (RSTP) instance. The m-VPLS
exclusively handles L2CP frames to support STP, RSTP, and MSTP protocols. The m-VPLS
processes externally untagged L2CP frames on access or hybrid ports. See section m-VPLS
and Spanning Tree Protocol for an introduction to the concept of management VPLS.
The v-VPLS forwarders emulate the ISAM bridging service in the IHUB, to provide the following
functionality:
•
enable L2 forwarding of frames between the user side and the network side via the IHUB
•
extend the reach of a VPRN IP interface (SAP) to several physical ports
More than one VPLS service can be created for a single customer ID.
By default, no VPLS instances exist until they are explicitly created.
The no form of this command deletes the m-VPLS or v-VPLS service instance with the
specified service-id. The service cannot be deleted until all SAPs defined within the service ID
have been shutdown and deleted, and the service has been shutdown.
Parameters service-id — The unique service identification number identifying the service in the service
domain. This ID must be unique to this service and may not be used for any other service of
any type. The service-id must be the same number used for every ISAM on which this service
is defined.
Values: 1 — 2147483648
customer customer-id — Specifies the customer ID number to be associated with the service.
This parameter is required when creating a new service but is optional for service editing or
deleting.
Values: 1 — 2147483647
m-vpls — Specifies a management VPLS required to group VPLS instances under a single
remote spanning Tree protocol (RSTP) instance. The m-VPLS exclusively handles L2CP
frames to support STP, RSTP, and MSTP protocols. For the m-VPLS, no VLAN ID is required
to be specified.
v-vpls — Specifies a v-VPLS to perform L2 forwarding of data frames between the user side
and the network side via the IHUB or to extend the reach of a VPRN IP interface (SAP) to
several physical ports.
vlan vlan-id — A VLAN ID must be associated with the v-VPLS service to manage L2 and IP
data frame forwarding.
