Configuring a Hard-Pipe VPLS PW

Configuring a hard pipe for a VPLS PW that uses LDP allows P2MP services to be carried over the hard pipe, enhancing leased line services of high-value customers.

Context

VPLS enables carriers to provide L2VPN services on an IP hard pipe network through different media, implementing P2MP services over the hard pipe and enhancing leased line services of high-value customers.

Procedure

Enable MPLS L2VPN.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run mpls l2vpn
  MPLS L2VPN is enabled.
3. Run quit
  Return to the system view.
Create a tunnel policy.
1. Run tunnel-policy policy-name
  A tunnel policy is created, and the tunnel policy view is displayed.
2. Run tunnel binding destination dest-ip-address te { tunnel-name | tunnel-type tunnel-number } & <1-32> [ ignore-destination-check ] [ down-switch | include-ldp ]
  An MPLS TE tunnel to be bound to the tunnel policy is specified.
3. Run quit
  Return to the system view.
Configure a hard pipe for a VPLS PW.
A hard pipe for a VPLS supports only static PWs that use LDP as the signaling protocol.
1. Run vsi vsi-name
  A VSI is created, and the VSI view is displayed.
2. Run pwsignal ldp
  LDP is configured as the PW signaling protocol, and the VSI-LDP view is displayed.
3. Run hard-pipe enable
  The hard pipe capability is enabled in the VSI-LDP view.
4. Run peer peer-address [ negotiation-vc-id pwIdValue] [ encapsulation { ethernet | vlan } ] [ tnl-policy policy-name ] { static-npe | static-upe } trans transmit-label recv receive-label [ hard-pipe bandwidth bandwidth [ burst-time burst-time ] ]
  The hard pipe function for a static PW is configured.
5. Run quit
  Return to the system view.
