Configuring VPLS Between SPEs

Procedure

1. Run vsi vsi-name [ static ]

   The VSI view is displayed.

2. Run isolate spoken [ include-multicast ]

   Forwarding isolation is enabled between AC interfaces, between UPE PWs, and between AC interfaces and UPE PWs in a VSI.

   If the users using the same service are bound in the same VSI, run the isolate spoken command to forbid the users from accessing each other.

   • On a non-hierarchical VPLS network, VSI service isolation prohibits traffic forwarding between AC interfaces.
   • On a hierarchical virtual private LAN service (HVPLS) network, VSI service isolation prohibits traffic forwarding between AC interfaces, between UPE PWs, and between AC interfaces and UPE PWs.

3. Run isolate hub-ac hub-pw

   Forwarding isolation is enabled between Hub AC interfaces and PWs in a VSI.

4. (Optional) Run quit

   Return to the system view.

5. (Optional) Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The AC interface view is displayed.

6. (Optional) Run hub-mode enable

   The VSI attribute on the AC interface is changed from spoke to hub.

   After you run the isolate spoken command, traffic forwarding is prohibited between AC interfaces in a VSI. If a sub-interface in the VSI needs to interwork with other sub-interfaces in the VSI, you must run the hub-mode enable command on the sub-interface to change the VSI attribute from spoke to hub.

7. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
