Chapter 24 Configuring PFC3BXL and PFC3B Mode Multiprotocol Label Switching
Any Transport over MPLS
Configuring PFC3BXL or PFC3B Mode VLAN-Based EoMPLS
When configuring PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode VLAN-based EoMPLS, follow these guidelines and
restrictions:
•
The AToM control word is not supported.
•
Ethernet packets with hardware-level cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors, framing errors, and
runt packets are discarded on input.
•
You must configure VLAN-based EoMPLS on subinterfaces.
To configure PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode VLAN-based EoMPLS, perform this task on the provider edge
(PE) routers.
This is a PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode VLAN-based EoMPLS configuration sample:
!
interface GigabitEthernet7/4.2
encapsulation dot1Q 3
xconnect 13.13.13.13 3 encapsulation mpls
no shut
Note
The IP address is configured on subinterfaces of the CE devices.
Verifying the Configuration
To verify and display the configuration of Layer 2 VLAN transport over MPLS tunnels, perform the
following:
•
To display a single line for each VLAN, naming the VLAN, status, and ports, enter the
show vlan
brief
command.
Router#
show vlan brief
VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------
1 default active
2 VLAN0002 active
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router#
configure
terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)#
interface
gigabitethernet
slot/interface.subinterface
Specifies the Gigabit Ethernet subinterface. Make sure
that the subinterface on the adjoining CE router is on the
same VLAN as this PE router.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
encapsulation dot1q
vlan_id
Enables the subinterface to accept 802.1Q VLAN
packets.
The subinterfaces between the CE and PE routers that are
running Ethernet over MPLS must be in the same subnet.
All other subinterfaces and backbone routers do not need
to be on the same subnet.
Step 4
Router(config-if)#
xconnect
peer_router_id vcid
encapsulation mpls
Binds the attachment circuit to a pseudowire VC. The
syntax for this command is the same as for all other
Layer 2 transports.
