Description

Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures a VPLS peer for the specified vpls_name. Up to 32 peers may be configured
for each VPLS. Peers may belong to multiple VPLS instances. The ipaddress parameter identifies the
peer node that is the endpoint of the VC-LSP. The ipaddress should be configured with a 32-bit prefix
on the peer node. When the peer node is also an Extreme switch, then either OSPF/ISIS must also be
enabled on the VLAN that the ipaddress is assigned, or the peer switch must be configured to distribute
direct routes into the OSPF/ISIS domain. Note that the export command should be used when the
tunnel LSP needs to cross OSPF area boundaries or when ESRP is enabled on the VLAN that the
ipaddress is assigned. If the VPLS peer is specified using the host_name parameter, the DNS client must
be configured so that the host_name can first be resolved to an IP address.
Per node, each peer relationship for each VPLS must be configured. The peer relationships are defined
as either a core-to-core, core-to-spoke, or spoke-to-core. This relationship implicitly defines the packet
flooding behavior for the VC-LSP set up to the configured peer.
A VPLS peer relationship defined as core-to-core indicates that the peer is a member of a fully meshed
VPLS core peer group. Flood traffic received from a core node by the core node is forwarded to spoke
nodes only.
A VPLS peer relationship defined as spoke-to-core specifies the spoke connectivity from a spoke node to
a core node. Flood traffic received by a spoke node from a core node is forwarded to the local egress
interface. The spoke-to-core keyword may optionally be qualified with the redundant configuration
mode. The core node is either the primary or secondary VPLS peer. One primary core node and up to
two secondary core nodes may be added to vpls_name. The configured core node defaults to primary
vpls_name Identifies the VPLS within the switch (character string). Up to 32 peers can be
configured for each VPLS.
ipaddress Should be configured with a 32-bit prefix on the peer node.
host_name Specifices the peer host name.
core-to-core Indicates that the peer is a member of a fully meshed VPLS core peer group.
core-to-spoke Specifies the spoke connectivity from the core node to the spoke node.
spoke-to-core Specifies the spoke connectivity from a spoke node to a core node.
hex_number Specifies the ethertype used on the customer traffic sent across the VC-LSP.
lsp_name Configures the peer VC-LSP connection to use a specific RSVP-TE LSP.
