Configuration task list
To configure a VPLS network, perform the following tasks:
Configure an IGP to ensure IP connectivity within the backbone network.
Configure basic MPLS, LDP, GER, or MPLS TE to establish public tunnels on the backbone network.
Configure VPLS on PEs. For example, configure a VSI, establish a PW, and associate an AC and a VSI.
This chapter describes only VPLS configurations on a PE. For more information about other configurations, see relevant configuration guides.
To configure VPLS on a PE, perform the following tasks:
Tasks at a glance | Remarks |
|---|---|
(Required.) Enabling L2VPN | N/A |
(Required.) Configuring an AC | In an H-VPLS using MPLS access, do not perform this task on the access NPEs of the UPEs. |
(Required.) Configuring a VSI | N/A |
| Choose a PW configuration method depending on the VPLS implementation. |
(Required.) Binding an AC to a VSI | In an H-VPLS using MPLS access, do not perform this task on the access NPEs of the UPEs. |
