NOTE:
•
The 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
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 "Configuring basic MPLS."
Configuring the BGP extension
Before configuring BGP VPLS, you must configure BGP parameters on the PEs. For configuration
details, see
Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide
.

Configuring a BGP VPLS instance
When creating a BGP VPLS instance, specify a globally unique name for the VPLS instance, set the
peer discovery mechanism to automatic configuration, and configure BGP as the PW signaling
protocol.
To configure a BGP VPLS instance:
