6.1 Configuration Example of the VPLS Internet Access
Service
This topic describes how to configure the Internet access service for individual users when the
VPLS networking is used at the access and aggregation layers.
Application Context
As shown in
, the MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T is dual homed to two AGS devices
(aggregation switches) PE3 and PE4 through VPLS, and the Internet access service is received
in PPPoE dialup mode. In the upstream direction, the traffic stream is mapped into the VPLS
domain through VLAN. The PPPOE active discovery initiation (PADI) packets initiated by the
user are broadcast in the VPLS domain it belongs to, and then the broadcast packets are received
by the two AGS devices. The AGS devices terminate packets of some users respectively in delay
response mode to achieve load sharing. When a BRAS device is faulty, the user dials up again.
Then the VPLS MAC learning and forwarding mechanism automatically selects a new BRAS
to provide services.
