On an HVPLS network, SPEs are fully connected. You need to configure VSI peers between SPEs, and between SPEs and UPEs.
Perform the following steps on the SPE:
The system view is displayed.
VSIs are created and the automatic member discovery mechanism is used.
LDP is configured as the PW signaling protocol and the VSI-LDP view is displayed.
The SPE is enabled to forward the LDP MAC Withdraw messages that are received from another SPE to a UPE.
By default, an SPE is not enabled to forward the LDP MAC Withdraw messages that are received from another SPE to a UPE.
When an SPE receives an LDP MAC Withdraw message from another SPE, the SPE clears the local MAC table and learns MAC addresses. If the UPE does not clear the MAC table synchronously, communication may be interrupted. You can run this command to enable the SPE to forward the LDP MAC Withdraw message to the UPE to clear the MAC table on the UPE.
In good network conditions, running this command speeds up network convergence. In bad network conditions, running this command generates a large number of exchange messages, and therefore is not recommended.

The VSI ID is set.
Or run peer peer-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ] [ tnl-policy policy-name ] static-npe trans transmit-label recv receive-label
A VSI peer is configured between SPEs.
Or run peer peer-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ] [ tnl-policy policy-name ] static-upe trans transmit-label recv receive-label
A VSI peer is configured between the SPE and the UPE.
