Configuration Tasks for L2VPN
To set up a pseudowire connection or AToM circuit between two PE routers, enter the following
commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Example 20-2
shows a sample configuration for the ATM AAL5 SDU over MPLS transport. The PVC
on 0/100 is configured for AAL5 transport.

Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)#
pseudowire-class
name
(Optional) Establishes a pseudowire class with a name that you
specify and specifies the tunneling encapsulation. It is not
necessary to specify a pseudowire class if you specify the
tunneling method as part of the
xconnect
command.
The pseudowire-class configuration group specifies the
characteristics of the tunneling mechanism, including:
•
Encapsulation type
•
Control protocol
•
Payload-specific options
Step 2
Router(config)#
interface
interface-type
interface-number
Defines the interface or subinterface on the PE router.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
encapsulation
encapsulation-type
Specifies the encapsulation type for the interface, such as
dot1q.
Step 4
Router(config-if)#
xconnect
peer-router-id
vcid
encapsulation mpls
Makes a connection to the peer PE router by specifying the
LDP router ID of the peer PE router.
Identifies a unique identifier that is shared between the two
PE routers. The
vcid
is a 32-bit identifier.
Note
The combination of the peer-router-id and the VC ID
must be a unique combination on the router. Two
circuits cannot use the same combination of
peer-router-id and VC ID.
Specifies the tunneling method used to encapsulate data in the
pseudowire. For AToM, the tunneling method used to
encapsulate data is
mpls
.
