p2p-vsi enable

Function

The p2p-vsi enable command configures a local VPLS connection between two CEs connecting to the same PE.

The undo p2p-vsi enable command deletes a local VPLS connection.

By default, no local VPLS connection is configured.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Local VPLS connections apply to small MPLS networks with simple topologies. Because a local VPLS connection does not require signaling negotiation or control packet exchange, it does not consume many resources. However, it requires manual configuration by network administrators and therefore has poor expansibility and is difficult to maintain.

To enable two CEs connecting to the same PE to communicate, run the p2p-vsi enable command to establish a local VPLS connection between the two CEs for them to communicate.

Prerequisites

A VSI has been created and the VSI view displayed using the vsi [ static ] command.
MAC address learning of the VSI has been disabled using the mac-learning disable command.

Precautions

The p2p-vsi enable command must be run before the l2 binding vsi command is run.
A local VPLS connection configured using the p2p-vsi enable command does not require any public network tunnel. After a device has the p2p-vsi enable command configured, the device does not support the peer (VSI-LDP view) command any longer.
mVSIs and PBB VSIs do not support the p2p-vsi enable command. Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports PBB VPLS.
After the p2p-vsi enable command is run, the configured broadcast and multicast features do not take effect.
