Configuring PEs to Exchange VPLS Information as BGP Peers

BGP VPLS inherits most BGP configurations and shares TCP connections with BGP. A major difference between BGP and BGP VPLS is that BGP VPLS requires PEs to exchange VPLS information as BGP peers in the L2VPN-AD address family view.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run bgp as-number

    The BGP view is displayed.

  3. Run peer ipv4-address as-number as-number

    A BGP peer and its AS number are specified.

  4. Run peer ipv4-address connect-interface { interface-name | ipv4-source-address | interface-type interface-number | interface-name ipv4-source-address | interface-type interface-number ipv4-source-address }

    A source interface for sending BGP packets is configured.

  5. Run l2vpn-ad-family

    The L2VPN-AD address family view is displayed.

  6. (Optional) Run vpn-orf enable

    The ORF is enabled.

  7. Run peer ipv4-address enable

    The route exchange capability is enabled.

  8. Run signaling vpls

    BGP VPLS is enabled.

  9. Run signaling multi-homing non-standard-compatible

    BGP multi-homing is enabled.

  10. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
