Bridge Vpls Site-Name Site-Id - Juniper JUNOSE 11.1.X - COMMAND REFERENCE A TO M 4-9-2010 Command Reference Manual

bridge vpls site-name site-id

[ no ] bridge vplsName vpls site-name siteName site-id siteId
Syntax
[ multi-homed priority priority ]
Command introduced in JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
Release Information
multi-homed priority keywords and priority variable added in JUNOSe Release 9.3.0.
Configures a customer site name and a unique site identifier that belongs to the
Description
specified VPLS instance that uses BGP as the signaling protocol. Optionally configures
the site to be multihomed. In a VPLS configuration, each customer site is represented
by a customer edge (CE) device located at the edge of the customer's network. The
router (VPLS edge device, also known as VE router) communicates with the customer
site by means of a bridge network interface connection to the CE device. The no
version removes the site name and site identifier from the VPLS instance, or removes
the multihomed configuration for the customer site and returns it to a single-homed
state.
The bridge vpls site-name site-id command is not valid for a VPLS instance that
uses LDP as the signaling protocol. To configure a VPLS instance with LDP signaling,
use the mpls ldp vpls vpls-id command and the mpls ldp vpls neighbor command.
NOTE: The bridge vpls site-name site-id command is available for a VPLS instance
only after you issue the bridge vpls transport-virtual-router command, which creates
the VPLS instance and configures the transport virtual router.
