NOTE:
•
A PW to PW (P2P) mode VSI is applicable only to point to point MPLS L2VPN.
•
To configure a multi-hop PW, specify the
p2p
keyword when you create a VPLS instance to enable the
P2P capability, and specify the two peer PEs by using the
peer
command in the VPLS instance view to
associate two PWs.
•
Up to two peer PEs can be specified for a P2P enabled VPLS instance, and one of them must be specified
as a UPE.
Configuring BGP VPLS
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure BGP VPLS, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IGP on the MPLS backbone devices (PEs and P devices) to guarantee the IP
connectivity of the MPLS backbone. For configuration information, see
Layer 3—IP Routing
Configuration Guide
.
•
Configure basic MPLS on the MPLS backbone devices (PEs and P devices) to establish LSP tunnels
on the backbone network. For configuration information, see the chapter “Configuring basic
MPLS.”
Configuring the BGP extension
Before configuring BGP VPLS, you need to configure BGP parameters on the PEs. For configuration
details, see
Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide
.
