Example for Configuring LDP HVPLS

Networking Requirements

Figure 1 shows a backbone network built by an enterprise. Site1 connects to the UPE through CE1 and then connects to the backbone network. Site2 connects to the UPE through CE2 and then connects to the backbone network. Site3 connects to PE1 through CE3 and then connects to the backbone network. Users at Site1, Site2, and Site3 need to communicate at Layer 2 and user information needs to be reserved when Layer 2 packets are transmitted over the backbone network. It is required that the UPE and SPE are at different layers of the backbone network.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring LDP HVPLS

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure transparent transmission of Layer 2 packets over the backbone network using VPLS to enable users at Site1, Site2, and Site3 to communicate at Layer 2 and reserve user information when Layer 2 packets are transmitted over the backbone network.

  2. Use LDP HVPLS to form a layered network topology and implement Layer 2 communication between CEs for an enterprise network.

  3. Configure the IGP routing protocol on the backbone network to implement data transmission on the public network between PEs.

  4. Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP on the backbone network to support VPLS.

  5. Establish tunnels for transmitting data between PEs to prevent data from being known by the public network.

  6. Enable MPLS L2VPN on PEs to implement VPLS.

  7. Create VSIs on PEs, specify LDP as the signaling protocol, and bind the VSIs to AC interfaces on the UPE and PE1 to implement LDP VPLS.

  8. Specify the UPE as the underlayer PE on the SPE and specify PE1 as the VSI peer, and specify the SPE as the VSI peer both on the UPE and PE1 to implement HVPLS.

Procedure

  1. 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 UPE, SPE, PE1, CE2, and CE3 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

    Configure VLANs that interfaces belong to and assign IP addresses to interfaces on other Switches by referring to Figure 1. The configuration is similar to the configuration of CE1, and is not mentioned here.

    Do not add AC-side physical interfaces and PW-side physical interfaces of a PE to the same VLAN; otherwise, a loop may occur.

  2. Configure the IGP protocol. OSPF is used in this example.

    When configuring OSPF, you need to advertise 32-bit loopback interface addresses (LSR IDs) of the UPE, SPE, and PE1.

    Configure OSPF on the UPE, SPE, and PE1.

    # Configure the UPE. The configuration on SPE and PE1 is similar to the UPE, and is not mentioned here.

    [UPE] interface loopback 1
    [UPE-LoopBack1] ip address 1.1.1.9 255.255.255.255
    [UPE-LoopBack1] quit
    [UPE] ospf 1
    [UPE-ospf-1] area 0.0.0.0
    [UPE-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 1.1.1.9 0.0.0.0
    [UPE-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 100.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
    [UPE-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] quit
    [UPE-ospf-1] quit
    

    After the configuration is complete, run the display ip routing-table command on the UPE, SPE, and PE1. You can see that the UPE, SPE, and PE1 have learned the addresses of the loopback interfaces from each other.

  3. Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP.

    Configure basic MPLS functions and LDP on the UPE, SPE, and PE1.

    # Configure the UPE. The configuration on SPE and PE1 is similar to the UPE, and is not mentioned here.

    [UPE] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.9
    [UPE] mpls
    [UPE-mpls] quit
    [UPE] mpls ldp
    [UPE-mpls-ldp] quit
    [UPE] interface vlanif 30
    [UPE-Vlanif30] mpls
    [UPE-Vlanif30] mpls ldp
    [UPE-Vlanif30] quit
    

    After the configuration is complete, run the display mpls ldp session command on the UPE, SPE, and PE1, and you can see that the "Status"of the peer relationship between the UPE and the SPE or between PE1 and the SPE is "Operational", which indicates that the peer relationship has been established. Run the display mpls lsp command to view the LSP status.

  4. Enable MPLS L2VPN and configure a VSI.

    # Configure the UPE.

    [UPE] mpls l2vpn
    [UPE-l2vpn] quit
    [UPE] vsi v123 static
    [UPE-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9
    [UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] quit
    [UPE-vsi-v123] quit

    # Configure the SPE.

    [SPE] mpls l2vpn
    [SPE-l2vpn] quit
    [SPE] vsi v123 static
    [SPE-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 3.3.3.9
    [SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 1.1.1.9 upe
    [SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] quit
    [SPE-vsi-v123] quit

    # Configure PE1.

    [PE1] mpls l2vpn
    [PE1-l2vpn] quit
    [PE1] vsi v123 static
    [PE1-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [PE1-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [PE1-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9
    [PE1-vsi-v123-ldp] quit
    [PE1-vsi-v123] quit

  5. Bind VSIs to interfaces on the UPE and PE1.

    # Configure the UPE.

    [UPE] interface vlanif 10
    [UPE-Vlanif10] l2 binding vsi v123
    [UPE-Vlanif10] quit
    [UPE] interface vlanif 20
    [UPE-Vlanif20] l2 binding vsi v123
    [UPE-Vlanif20] quit

    # Configure PE1.

    [PE1] interface vlanif 50
    [PE1-Vlanif50] l2 binding vsi v123
    [PE1-Vlanif50] quit

  6. Verify the configuration.

    After the network becomes stable, run the display vsi name v123 verbose command on the SPE, and you can see that the status of the VSI named v123 is Up, and the status of the corresponding PW is also Up.

    [SPE] display vsi name v123 verbose

    CE1, CE2, and CE3 can ping each other. After you run the shutdown command on the interface (to which the VSI is bound) of the UPE or PE1, CE2 and CE3 cannot ping each other. This indicates that data is transmitted through the PW of this VSI.
