1.8 Configuring a VPLS Instance
1.8.1 Configuring an LDP VPLS Instance
I. Configuration prerequisites
z
Configuring IGP on the PEs and P devices to guarantee the IP connectivity of the
MPLS backbone
z
Configuring MPLS basic capability for the MPLS backbone on the PEs and P
devices
z
Configuring MPLS L2VPN
II. Configuration procedure
When creating an LDP VPLS instance, you must specify a globally unique name for the
VPLS instance and set the peer discovery mechanism to manual configuration.
In L2VPN implementation, the Martini mode uses extended LDP (remote LDP sessions)
as the signaling for transferring PW information. Therefore, the LDP mode is also called
the Martini mode. When configuring a VPLS instance in LDP mode, you must configure
LDP as the signaling protocol to be used.
You can use the
peer
command to create the VPLS peer PE for an instance. Note that
you must specify the IP address and type of the peer PE.
z
A peer of the UPE type is the user access convergence device in the H-VPLS
model.
z
A peer of the Dual-NPE type is the primary or secondary NPE device in the
H-VPLS model. Up to two peers of this type can be configured.
