mpls l2transport route
mpls l2transport route
Use the
mpls l2transport route
interface configuration command at a customer edge (CE) standard port,
a provider-edge customer-located equipment (PE-CLE) enhanced-services (ES) port, or a VLAN
interface to enable forwarding Layer 2 packets over a specified point-to-point virtual connection (VC)
by using Ethernet over multiprotocol label switching (EoMPLS). Enter the command at the local and
remote edge devices. Use the
no
form of this command on both provider edge devices to delete the VC.

Usage Guidelines
A multiprocotol label switching (MPLS) VC runs across an MPLS cloud to connect Ethernet interfaces
on a provider edge device at each edge of the service provider network. The command must be entered
on the connecting interface on the device at each edge of the service provider network to establish a
bidirectional virtual connection, which is made of two unidirectional label-switched paths (LSPs). A VC
is not established if not properly defined from both ends.
For the
destination
parameter, specify the LDP IP address of the other PE edge device; do not specify
the IP address of the device on which you are entering the command.
The
vc-id
must be unique for each pair of provider edge devices. Therefore, in large networks, you
should track the VC ID assignments to ensure that a VC ID is not assigned more than once.
Note
EoMPLS operation between PE devices requires an LDP session between the two devices. For
information about LDP configuration and commands, see the
MPLS Label Distribution Protocol
feature
module. See also the
Multiprotocol Label Switching on Cisco Routers
feature module.
destination
The destination label distribution protocol (LDP) IP address of the remote provider
edge device. The IP address cannot be an IP address on the route on which the
command is entered.
vc-id
Assign a virtual connection identifier (VC ID) to the virtual connection between
the two peer provider edge devices. The range is from 1 to 4294967295.
