Configuring a Local VPLS Connection

This section describes how to configure a local VPLS connection for two CEs connecting to the same PE to communicate.

Usage Scenario

If two CEs connect to the same PE, you can establish a local VPLS connection between the two CEs for them to communicate. In this situation, the PE functions similar to a Layer 2 switch to directly transmit packets without using any public network tunnel.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring a local VPLS connection, complete the following tasks:

Configure the encapsulation types of PE interfaces connecting to CEs.
Configure basic MPLS functions on the PE.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run mpls l2vpn
MPLS L2VPN is enabled.
Run quit
Return to the system view.
Run vsi [ static | auto ]
A VSI is configured, and the VSI view is displayed.
Run pwsignal ldp
LDP is configured as the signaling type of the VSI.
Run vsi-id vsi-id
An ID is configured for the VSI.
Run mac-learning disable
MAC address learning is disabled.
Run p2p-vsi enable
A local VPLS connection is configured.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.

Verifying the Configuration

After configuring the local VPLS connection, run the following commands to check the configurations:

Run the display vsi [ name vsi-name ] [ verbose ] command to check VSI information.
Run the display vsi services { vsi-name | all | interface interface-type interface-number | vlan vlan-id } command to check AC interfaces bound to the VSI.
