Example for Configuring LDP HVPLS

If there are a large number of PEs on a VPLS network, you can use HVPLS networking to lower the performance requirements on the PEs.

Networking Requirements

On the network shown in Figure 1, Site1, Site2, and Site3 belong to the same VPLS network; CE1 and CE2 access the basic full-mesh VPLS network through a UPE; CE3 accesses the network through a PE.

Figure 1 Configuring LDP HVPLS
  • Interface 1, interface 2, interface 3, sub-interface 1.1, and sub-interface 2.1 in this example represent GE 0/1/0, GE 0/1/8, GE 0/1/16, GE 0/1/0.1, and GE 0/1/8.1, respectively.



Configuration Notes

During the configuration, note that PEs on the same L2VPN must be configured with the same VSI ID.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure LDP VPLS between the SPE and PE. For configuration details, see Configuring LDP VPLS.

  2. Establish an MPLS LDP peer relationship between the UPE and SPE.

  3. Create a VSI on the SPE and specify the UPE as the lower-layer PE of the SPE.

  4. Create a VSI on the UPE and specify the SPE as the VSI peer.

  5. Configure CE1 and CE2 to access the UPE and configure CE3 to access the PE.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • Names and IDs of VSIs

  • MPLS LSR IDs (as peer IP addresses) of UPEs, SPEs, and PEs

  • Routing protocol

Procedure

  1. Configure an IGP.

    This example uses OSPF as the IGP. For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.

    After completing the configurations, run the display ip routing-table command on the UPE, SPE, and PE. The command output shows that the UPE, SPE, and PE have learned each other's loopback interface address.

  2. Configure MPLS and MPLS LDP.

    For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.

    After completing the configurations, run the display mpls ldp session command on the UPE, SPE, and PE. The command output shows that the status of the peer relationship between the UPE and SPE or between the PE and SPE is Operational. Run the display mpls lsp command. The command output shows whether the LSP is set up.

  3. Enable MPLS L2VPN and configure a VSI.

    # Configure the UPE.

    <UPE> system-view
    [~UPE] mpls l2vpn
    [*UPE] vsi v123 
    [*UPE-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [*UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [*UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9
    [*UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] commit
    [*UPE-vsi-v123-ldp] quit

    # Configure the SPE.

    <SPE> system-view
    [~SPE] mpls l2vpn
    [*SPE] vsi v123 
    [*SPE-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [*SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [*SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 3.3.3.9
    [*SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 1.1.1.9 upe
    [*SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] commit
    [*SPE-vsi-v123-ldp] quit

    # Configure the PE.

    <PE> system-view
    [~PE] mpls l2vpn
    [*PE] vsi v123 
    [*PE-vsi-v123] pwsignal ldp
    [*PE-vsi-v123-ldp] vsi-id 123
    [*PE-vsi-v123-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9
    [*PE-vsi-v123-ldp] commit
    [*PE-vsi-v123-ldp] quit

  4. Bind VSIs to AC interfaces on the SPE and UPE.

    # Configure the UPE.

    [~UPE] interface gigabitethernet0/1/0.1
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1] shutdown
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1] vlan-type dot1q 10
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1] l2 binding vsi v123
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1] undo shutdown
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1] quit
    [*UPE] interface gigabitethernet0/1/8.1
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] shutdown
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] vlan-type dot1q 10
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] l2 binding vsi v123
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] undo shutdown
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] commit
    [*UPE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] quit

    # Configure the PE.

    [~PE] interface gigabitethernet0/1/8.1
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] shutdown
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] vlan-type dot1q 10
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] l2 binding vsi v123
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] undo shutdown
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] commit
    [*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8.1] quit

  5. Verify the configuration.

    After the preceding configurations, run the display vsi name v123 verbose command on the SPE. The command output shows that the status of the VSI named v123 is up, and the status of the corresponding PW is also up.

    [~SPE] display vsi name v123 verbose

    CE1, CE2, and CE3 can ping each other. After you run the shutdown command on GE 0/1/8.1 (to which the VSI is bound) of the UPE or the PE, CE2 and CE3 cannot ping each other. This means that user data is transmitted over the PW of this VSI.
