MPLS L2VPN configuration task list
To establish an MPLS L2VPN, you must perform the following tasks:
Configure an IGP to achieve IP connectivity within the backbone.
Configure basic MPLS, LDP, or MPLS TE to set up public tunnels across the backbone.
Configure MPLS L2VPN on the PEs, including setting up PWs, and binding ACs to PWs.
This chapter only describes MPLS L2VPN configurations on the PEs.
MPLS L2VPN configurations vary by scenario:
MPLS L2VPN connection—To create an MPLS L2VPN connection, configure an AC, configure a PW in cross-connect view or auto-discovery cross-connect view, and bind the AC with the PW in cross-connect view or auto-discovery cross-connect view.
Multi-segment PW—To create a multi-segment PW, configure two PWs and bind the two PWs in cross-connect view.
To configure MPLS L2VPN on a PE:

(Required.) Configuring an AC | For multi-segment PWs, skip this task. |
(Required.) Configuring a cross-connect | N/A |
| Choose a PW configuration method depending on the MPLS L2VPN implementation. |
(Required.) Binding an AC to a cross-connect | For multi-segment PWs, skip this task. |
