Example for Configuring Martini VPLS

Networking Requirements

Figure 1 shows a backbone network built by an enterprise. Few branch sites are distributed on the network (only two sites are shown in this example). Site1 connects to PE1 through CE1 and then connects to the backbone network. Site2 connects to PE2 through CE2 and then connects to the backbone network. Users at Site1 and Site2 need to communicate at Layer 2 and user information needs to be reserved when Layer 2 packets are transmitted over the backbone network.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring Martini VPLS

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure transparent transmission of Layer 2 packets over the backbone network using VPLS to enable users at Site1 and Site2 to communicate at Layer 2 and reserve user information when Layer 2 packets are transmitted over the backbone network.
Use Martini VPLS to implement Layer 2 communication between CEs on an enterprise network with few sites.
Configure the IGP routing protocol on the backbone network to implement data transmission on the public network between PEs.
Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP on the backbone network to support VPLS.
Establish tunnels for transmitting data between PEs to prevent data from being known by the public network.
Enable MPLS L2VPN on PEs to implement VPLS.
Create VSIs on PEs, specify LDP as the signaling protocol, and bind VSIs to AC interfaces to implement Martini VPLS.

Procedure

Configure VLANs that interfaces belong to.
Configure the VLAN that each interface belongs to and assign IP addresses to interfaces on Switch.

# Configure CE1. The configuration on PE1, P, PE2, and CE2 is similar to the CE1, and is not mentioned here.
```
<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname CE1
[CE1] vlan 10
[CE1-vlan10] quit
[CE1] interface vlanif 10
[CE1-Vlanif10] ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
[CE1-Vlanif10] quit
[CE1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[CE1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
[CE1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10
[CE1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
```
Do not add AC-side physical interfaces and PW-side physical interfaces of a PE to the same VLAN; otherwise, a loop may occur.
Configure the IGP protocol. OSPF is used in this example.
When configuring OSPF, advertise the 32-bit address of the loopback interface (LSR IDs) on PE1, P and PE2.

Configure OSPF on PE1, P, and PE2.

# Configure PE1. The configuration on P and PE2 is similar to the PE1, and is not mentioned here.
```
[PE1] interface loopback 1
[PE1-LoopBack1] ip address 1.1.1.9 255.255.255.255
[PE1-LoopBack1] quit
[PE1] ospf 1
[PE1-ospf-1] area 0.0.0.0
[PE1-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 1.1.1.9 0.0.0.0
[PE1-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 168.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
[PE1-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] quit
[PE1-ospf-1] quit
```
After the configuration is complete, run the display ip routing-table command on PE1, P, and PE2. You can view the routes learned by PE1, P, and PE2 from each other.
Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP.
Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP on PE1, P, and PE2.

# Configure PE1. The configuration on P and PE2 is similar to the PE1, and is not mentioned here.
```
[PE1] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.9
[PE1] mpls
[PE1-mpls] quit
[PE1] mpls ldp
[PE1-mpls-ldp] quit
[PE1] interface vlanif 20
[PE1-Vlanif20] mpls
[PE1-Vlanif20] mpls ldp
[PE1-Vlanif20] quit
```
After the configuration is complete, run the display mpls ldp session command on PE1, P and PE2. You can see that peer relationships are set up between PE1 and P, and between P and PE2. The status of the peer relationship is Operational. Run the display mpls lsp command to view the LSP status.
Set up remote LDP sessions between PEs.
# Configure PE1.
```
[PE1] mpls ldp remote-peer 3.3.3.9
[PE1-mpls-ldp-remote-3.3.3.9] remote-ip 3.3.3.9
[PE1-mpls-ldp-remote-3.3.3.9] quit
```
# Configure PE2.
```
[PE2] mpls ldp remote-peer 1.1.1.9
[PE2-mpls-ldp-remote-1.1.1.9] remote-ip 1.1.1.9
[PE2-mpls-ldp-remote-1.1.1.9] quit
```
After the configuration is complete, run the display mpls ldp session command on PE1 or PE2, and you can see that the status of the peer relationship between PE1 and PE2 is Operational. That is, the peer relationship is set up.

Enable MPLS L2VPN on PEs.

# Configure PE1.

[PE1] mpls l2vpn
[PE1-l2vpn] quit

# Configure PE2.

[PE2] mpls l2vpn
[PE2-l2vpn] quit

Configure LDP VPLS on PEs.

# Configure PE1.

[PE1] vsi a2 static
[PE1-vsi-a2] pwsignal ldp
[PE1-vsi-a2-ldp] vsi-id 2
[PE1-vsi-a2-ldp] peer 3.3.3.9
[PE1-vsi-a2-ldp] quit
[PE1-vsi-a2] quit

# Configure PE2.

[PE2] vsi a2 static
[PE2-vsi-a2] pwsignal ldp
[PE2-vsi-a2-ldp] vsi-id 2
[PE2-vsi-a2-ldp] peer 1.1.1.9
[PE2-vsi-a2-ldp] quit
[PE2-vsi-a2] quit

Bind the interface on the PE to the VSI.

# Configure PE1.

[PE1] interface vlanif 10
[PE1-Vlanif10] l2 binding vsi a2
[PE1-Vlanif10] quit

# Configure PE2.

[PE2] interface vlanif 40
[PE2-Vlanif40] l2 binding vsi a2
[PE2-Vlanif40] quit

Verify the configuration.

# After the network becomes stable, run the display vsi name a2 verbose command on PE1, and you can see that VSI a2 sets up a PW to PE2, and the status of the VSI is Up.

[PE1] display vsi name a2 verbose
