H-VPLS using MPLS access configuration example

Network requirements

Configure an H-VPLS network using MPLS access to avoid full-mesh PW configuration. The H-VPLS uses LDP as the PW signaling protocol.

Configuration procedure

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

  2. Configure UPE:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

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

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [UPE] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa to use LDP to establish a U-PW to NPE 1.

    [UPE] vsi aaa
    [UPE-vsi-aaa] pwsignaling ldp
    [UPE-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9 pw-id 500
    [UPE-vsi-aaa-ldp-2.2.2.9-500] quit
    [UPE-vsi-aaa-ldp] quit
    [UPE-vsi-aaa] quit
    

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

    [UPE] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/1
    [UPE-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] xconnect vsi aaa
    [UPE-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] quit
    
  3. Configure NPE 1:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

    <NPE1> system-view
    [NPE1] interface loopback 0
    [NPE1-LoopBack0] ip address 2.2.2.9 32
    [NPE1-LoopBack0] quit
    [NPE1] mpls lsr-id 2.2.2.9
    [NPE1] mpls ldp
    [NPE1–ldp] quit
    

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [NPE1] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa that uses LDP as the PW signaling protocol, establish a U-PW to the UPE, and establish N-PWs to NPE 2 and NPE 3.

    [NPE1] vsi aaa
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa] pwsignaling ldp
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 1.1.1.9 pw-id 500 no-split-horizon
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp-1.1.1.9-500] quit
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 3.3.3.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp-3.3.3.9-500] quit
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 4.4.4.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp-4.4.4.9-500] quit
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa-ldp] quit
    [NPE1-vsi-aaa] quit
    
  4. Configure NPE 2:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

    <NPE2> system-view
    [NPE2] interface loopback 0
    [NPE2-LoopBack0] ip address 3.3.3.9 32
    [NPE2-LoopBack0] quit
    [NPE2] mpls lsr-id 3.3.3.9
    [NPE2] mpls ldp
    [NPE2–ldp] quit
    

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [NPE2] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa that uses LDP as the PW signaling protocol, and establish N-PWs to NPE 1 and NPE 3.

    [NPE2] vsi aaa
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa] pwsignal ldp
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa-ldp-2.2.2.9-500] quit
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 4.4.4.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa-ldp-4.4.4.9-500] quit
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa-ldp] quit
    [NPE2-vsi-aaa] quit
    

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

    [NPE2] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/1
    [NPE2-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] xconnect vsi aaa
    [NPE2-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] quit
    
  5. Configure NPE 3:

    # Configure basic MPLS.

    <NPE3> system-view
    [NPE3] interface loopback 0
    [NPE3-LoopBack0] ip address 4.4.4.9 32
    [NPE3-LoopBack0] quit
    [NPE3] mpls lsr-id 4.4.4.9
    [NPE3] mpls ldp
    [NPE3–ldp] quit
    

    # Enable L2VPN.

    [NPE3] l2vpn enable
    

    # Configure VSI aaa that uses LDP as the PW signaling protocol, and establish N-PWs to NPE 1 and NPE 2.

    [NPE3] vsi aaa
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa] pwsignal ldp
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 2.2.2.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa-ldp-2.2.2.9-500] quit
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa-ldp] peer 3.3.3.9 pw-id 500
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa-ldp-3.3.3.9-500] quit
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa-ldp] quit
    [NPE3-vsi-aaa] quit
    

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

    [NPE3] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/1
    [NPE3-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] xconnect vsi aaa
    [NPE3-GigabitEthernet2/1/1] quit
    

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that PWs in up state have been established on each PE.
