VPLS Platform Considerations

Module Requirements

586
Single-level VPLS hierarchy within a single autonomous system (AS) using MPLS
tunneling technology for the core
Support for the following types of network interfaces between the PE router and the
CE device:
Bridged Ethernet over ATM1483 subinterfaces
Fast Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet
10-Gigabit Ethernet
VLAN and S-VLAN subinterfaces over bridged Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Autodiscovery of VPLS instance members using MP-BGP
VPLS signaling using MP-BGP to set up and tear down the pseudowires that constitute
a VPLS instance
VPLS signaling using LDP and the PWid FEC element (FEC Type 128) to set up and
tear down the pseudowires that constitute a VPLS instance
Interworking of the VPLS instance and the VPN routing and forwarding instance (VRF)
using an external cable connection
Multihoming
Class of service (CoS)
Inter-AS option A, inter-AS option B, and inter-AS option C services
Minimal filtering and policing support
As with L2VPNs, VPLS does not support BGP multipaths.
VPLS is supported on all E Series routers.
Module Requirements on page 586
Interface Specifiers on page 587
You can configure VPLS network interfaces on all E Series module combinations that
support transparent bridging. The VPLS virtual core interface can exist on all E Series
module combinations that support MPLS tunnels.
