bridge vplsName vpls rd routeDistinguisher
no bridge vplsName vpls rd
Command introduced in JunosE Release 7.1.0.
Specifies the unique two-part route distinguisher for a VPLS instance that uses BGP as
the signaling protocol. Because you cannot change or remove the route distinguisher for
a VPLS instance after you set it, issuing the no version fails, and causes the router to
display an error message.
The following rules apply when you configure the route distinguisher for a VPLS instance:
After you set the route distinguisher for a VPLS instance, you cannot change it for that
VPLS instance. To change the route distinguisher, you must either remove the transport
virtual router configuration from the VPLS instance or delete the VPLS instance from
the router. You can then reconfigure the VPLS instance with a new route distinguisher.
Multiple VPLS instances that use the same transport virtual router cannot have the
same route distinguisher. Conversely, multiple VPLS instances that use different
transport virtual routers can have the same route distinguisher.
The bridge vpls rd 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 rd 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.
vplsName—Name of a VPLS instance created with the bridge vpls
transport-virtual-router command
routeDistinguisher—Unique two-part identifier in the format number1:number2, where:
number1—Autonomous system (AS) number or an IP address
number2—Unique integer; 32 bits if number1 is an AS number; 16 bits if number1 is an
IP address
