BGP auto-discovery LDP PW configuration example

Network requirements

CEs are connected to the PEs through Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces (GigabitEthernet 2/1/1).

Configure a VSI on each PE. Use BGP to discover remote PEs and use LDP to create PWs among PEs so CEs in different sites of VPN 1 can communicate with each other.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure an IGP and public tunnels on each PE. (Details not shown.)

  2. Configure PE 1:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

    <PE1> system-view
    [PE1] interface loopback 0
    [PE1-LoopBack0] ip address 1.1.1.9 32
    [PE1-LoopBack0] quit
    [PE1] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.9
    [PE1] mpls ldp
    [PE1-ldp] quit
    

    # Establish IBGP connections to PE 1 and PE 2, and use BGP to advertise VPLS PE information.

    [PE1-bgp-default] quit
    

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [PE1] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa to use BGP to discover remote PEs and use LDP to establish LDP PWs to PE 2 and PE 3.

    [PE1-vsi-aaa-auto-ldp] vpls-id 100:100
    [PE1-vsi-aaa-auto-ldp] quit
    [PE1-vsi-aaa-auto] quit
    [PE1-vsi-aaa] quit
    

    # Bind Layer 3 Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet 2/1/1 to VSI aaa.

    [PE1] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/1
    [PE1-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] xconnect vsi aaa

  3. Configure PE 2:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

    <PE2> system-view
    [PE2] interface loopback 0
    [PE2-LoopBack0] ip address 2.2.2.9 32
    [PE2-LoopBack0] quit
    [PE2] mpls lsr-id 2.2.2.9
    [PE2] mpls ldp
    [PE2-ldp] quit
    

    # Establish IBGP connections to PE 1 and PE 3, and use BGP to advertise VPLS PE information.

    [PE2-bgp-default-l2vpn] peer 3.3.3.9 enable
    [PE2-bgp-default-l2vpn] quit
    [PE2-bgp-default] quit
    

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [PE2] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa to use BGP to discover remote PEs and use LDP to establish LDP PWs to PE 1 and PE 3.
