Example for Configuring a Local VPLS Connection

This section provides an example for configuring a local VPLS connection.

Networking Requirements

On the network shown in Figure 1, two CEs connect to the same PE. To enable the two CEs to communicate, establish a local VPLS connection between them. In this situation, the PE functions similar to a Layer 2 switch to directly transmit packets without using any public network tunnel.

Figure 1 Configuring a local VPLS connection

Interfaces 1 and 2 in this example represent GE 0/1/0 and GE 0/1/8, respectively.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure basic MPLS functions and enable MPLS L2VPN on the PE.
Establish a local VPLS connection between CE1 and CE2 on the PE.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

VSI name and ID
AC interfaces bound to the VSI

Procedure

Assign an IP address to each CE.

# Configure CE1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] sysname CE1
[*HUAWEI] commit
[~CE1] interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0
[*CE1-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] ip address 10.1.1.1 24
[*CE1-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] undo shutdown
[*CE1-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] quit
[*CE1] commit

# Configure CE2.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] sysname CE2
[*HUAWEI] commit
[~CE2] interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0
[*CE2-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] ip address 10.1.1.2 24
[*CE2-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] undo shutdown
[*CE2-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] quit
[*CE2] commit

Configure a local VPLS connection on the PE.

# Enable MPLS and MPLS L2VPN.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] sysname PE
[*HUAWEI] commit
[~PE] mpls
[*PE-mpls] quit
[*PE] mpls l2vpn
[*PE-l2vpn] quit
[*PE] interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] undo shutdown
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] quit
[*PE] interface gigabitethernet 0/1/8
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8] undo shutdown
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8] quit
[*PE] commit

# Configure a VSI.

[~PE] vsi abc
[*PE-vsi-abc] pwsignal ldp
[*PE-vsi-abc-ldp] vsi-id 2
[*PE-vsi-abc-ldp] quit
[*PE-vsi-abc] mac-learning disable
[*PE-vsi-abc] p2p-vsi enable
[*PE-vsi-abc] quit
[*PE] commit

# Bind AC interfaces to the VSI.

[~PE] interface gigabitethernet0/1/0
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] l2 binding vsi abc
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] quit
[~PE] interface gigabitethernet0/1/8
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8] l2 binding vsi abc
[*PE-GigabitEthernet0/1/8] quit
[*PE] commit

Verify the configuration.

After completing the configurations, run the display vsi verbose command on the PE. The command output shows that the local VPLS connection is Up.
