EVC Configuration

Overview of EVC

EVC a model transmitting Ethernet services, but is not a specific service or technique.

Configuration Precautions for EVC

Summary of EVC Configuration Tasks

This section describes EVC features supported by the NetEngine 8000 F.

Establishing the EVC Model

The EVC model is established to forward Layer 2 services.

Configuring a Bridge Domain-based MAC Address Table

A MAC address table contains static, blackhole, and dynamic MAC address entries. A MAC address table can be correctly configured to help a device to forward traffic.

Configuring EVC Security Attributes

The NetEngine 8000 F supports various security attributes that can be deployed in a bridge domain to help devices securely transmit packets.

Configuring a DiffServ Mode for a BD

Configuring Layer 3 Communication Between VBDIF Interfaces

VBDIF interfaces are Layer 3 logical interfaces. After creating VBDIF interfaces, you can configure Layer 3 features on these interfaces.

Configuring the EVC Model to Carry L2VPN Services

This section describes how to use the EVC model to carry L2VPN services to reduce enterprise costs.

Configuring an EVC to Transmit Multicast Services

To improve network resource usage and implement on-demand multicast data forwarding in an EVC scenario, configure an EVC to transmit multicast services.

Configuring EVC VPLS Accessing L3VPN

This section describes how to create a VBDIF interface to implement EVC VPLS accessing L3VPN.

Configuring an EVC to Transmit DHCP Relay Services

To allow user terminals in a BD to automatically apply for IP addresses from a DHCP server, configure an EVC to transmit DHCP relay services.

Maintaining EVC

Run the reset command before you collect statistics in a bridge domain.

Configuration Examples for EVC

This section describes the typical application scenarios of EVC, networking requirements, configuration roadmap, and data preparation, and provides related configuration files.
