Use LDP to create a PW to
an automatically discovered
remote PE and enter
auto-discovery VSI LDP
signaling view.

By default, no signaling protocol is
specified.

Configure a VPLS ID for the
VSI.

By default, no VPLS ID is
configured.
Binding an AC to a VSI
This task is mutually exclusive from Ethernet link aggregation. If a Layer 3 Ethernet interface has
been added to a link aggregation group, you cannot bind the Layer 3 interface to a VSI, and vice
versa.
When you bind an AC to a VSI, you can associate Track with the AC. Then, the AC is up only when
one or more of the associated track entries are positive.
Associating Track with an AC helps detecting AC failure. For example, when an AC is a VE-L2VPN
interface, the interface will not go down upon a link failure because the interface is a virtual interface.
To resolve the problem, you can associate Track with the AC to detect failures on the link that
connects the PE-agg to the L3VPN or IP backbone. When a failure occurs on the link, the VE-L2VPN
interface is set to down. Consequently, the PW bound to the AC goes down. If the PW has a backup
PW, traffic can be switched to the backup PW. For more information about VE-L2VPN interfaces and
L2VPN access to L3VPN or IP backbone, see "Configuring L2VPN access to L3VPN or IP
backbone."
Binding a Layer 3 interface to a VSI
After you bind a Layer 3 interface to a VSI, packets received from the Layer 3 interface are forwarded
based on the MAC address table of the VSI.
To bind a Layer 3 interface to a VSI:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view

2.
Enter Layer 3
interface view.

3.
Bind the interface to a
VSI.
xconnect vsi
vsi-name
[
hub
] [
track
track-entry-number
&<1-3> ]
By default, an interface is not
bound to any VSI.
If the hub-spoke capability is
enabled for a VSI, an AC in the
VSI is a spoke link by default. You
can use the
hub
keyword to
specify the AC as a hub link.
Configuring UPE dual homing
This task includes the following configurations:
•
Create a backup PW for the primary PW.
•
Specify whether to switch traffic from the backup PW to the primary PW when the primary PW
recovers, and set the wait time for the switchover.
