1.7 Configuring L2VPN Tunnel Binding
L2VPN tunnel binding refers to the binding between a TE tunnel and a VPN. After the binding,
the TE tunnel is exclusively used by the VPN.
1.7.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring L2VPN main tunnel binding, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
When deploying the MPLS L2VPN service, you need consider not only the transparent
transmission of user data, but also the following points:
l
MPLS TE tunnels are used to transmit data, which can optimize the usage of network
resource, and avoid the congestion caused by unbalanced load.
l
The L2VPN service should be separated from other services. Therefore, the QoS of the
L2VPN service is guaranteed.
The MPLS TE tunnel and the MPLS L2VPN primary tunnel binding need to be configured on
the PEs of the backbone network.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring MPLS L2VPN primary tunnel binding, complete the following tasks:
l
Connecting the interfaces, and configuring physical parameters for the interfaces to ensure
that the physical status of the interfaces is Up
l
Configuring parameters of the link layer protocol and IP addresses for the interfaces to
ensure that the status of the link layer protocol on the interfaces is Up
l
Configuring the static route or IGP to ensure that routes are reachable to all nodes
l
Configuring basic MPLS functions and enabling MPLS TE
l
Configuring the MPLS TE tunnels between PEs (refer to the Quidway S7700 Smart Routing

MPLS
l
Creating the VC on the PE (refer to the chapter "MPLS L2VPN Configuration" in this
manual)
Data Preparation
To configure L2VPN primary tunnel binding, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1
Name of the tunnel policy
2
QoS parameters for the MPLS TE tunnel such as bandwidth
3
Type and serial number of the VC interface , destination address, and VC ID
