Enabling I-VSI and B-VSI Functions

Enabling I-VSI and B-VSI functions is the prerequisite for configuring PBB VPLS.

Procedure

Enable the I-VSI function.
Use either of the following methods:
- Enable the I-VSI function while creating a VSI.
  1. Run system-view
    The system view is displayed.
  2. Run vsi vsi-name [ static ] i-vsi p2p
    A P2P I-VSI is configured.
  3. Run pwsignal ldp
    LDP is configured as the signaling protocol for the I-VSI.
  4. Run vsi-id vsi-id
    An ID is configured for the I-VSI.
    
    The ID of an I-VSI does not participate in PW negotiation and therefore only needs to be locally unique.
    - The local I-VSI and B-VSI must have different IDs.
    - The local and remote I-VSIs can have either the same ID or different IDs.
  5. Run commit
    The configuration is committed.
- Enable the I-VSI function after creating a VSI.
  1. Run system-view
    The system view is displayed.
  2. Run vsi vsi-name [ static ]
    A VSI is created.
  3. Run pwsignal ldp
    LDP is configured as the signaling protocol for the VSI.
  4. Run vsi-id vsi-id
    An ID is configured for the VSI.
    
    The ID of an I-VSI does not participate in PW negotiation and therefore only needs to be locally unique.
    - The local I-VSI and B-VSI must have different IDs.
    - The local and remote I-VSIs can have either the same ID or different IDs.
  5. Run quit
    Exit from the VSI-LDP view.
  6. Run pbb i-vsi enable
    The I-VSI function is enabled.
  7. Run pbb service-type p2p
    A service type is configured for the I-VSI.
  8. Run commit
    The configuration is committed.
Enable the B-VSI function.
Use either of the following methods:
- Enable the B-VSI function while creating a VSI.
  1. Run system-view
    The system view is displayed.
  2. Run vsi vsi-name [ static ] b-vsi
    A B-VSI is created.
  3. Run pwsignal ldp
    LDP is configured as the signaling protocol for the B-VSI.
  4. Run vsi-id vsi-id
    An ID is configured for the B-VSI.
    The ID of a B-VSI must be locally unique.
    The ID of a B-VSI participates in the PW negotiation. In a VPLS domain, the local and remote B-VSIs must have the same ID.
  5. Run commit
    The configuration is committed.
- Enable the B-VSI function after a VSI is created.
  1. Run system-view
    The system view is displayed.
  2. Run vsi vsi-name [ static ]
    A VSI is created.
  3. Run pwsignal ldp
    LDP is configured as the signaling protocol for the VSI.
  4. Run vsi-id vsi-id
    An ID is configured for the VSI.
    - The ID of a B-VSI must be locally unique.
    - The ID of a B-VSI participates in the PW negotiation. In a VPLS domain, the local and remote B-VSIs must have the same ID.
  5. Run quit
    Exit from the VSI-LDP view.
  6. Run pbb b-vsi enable
    B-VSI is enabled.
  7. Run commit
    The configuration is committed.
