H-VPLS using MPLS access configuration example

Network requirements

Configure an H-VPLS 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
    

    # Create service instance 10 on Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to match all packets.

    [UPE] interface ten-gigabitethernet1/0/1
    [UPE-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] service-instance 10
    [UPE-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] encapsulation default
    

    # Bind service instance 10 to the VSI aaa.

    [UPE-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] xconnect vsi aaa
    
  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 an N-PW to NPE 2 and NPE 3, respectively.

    [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 an N-PW to NPE 1 and NPE 3, respectively.

    [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
    

    # Create service instance 10 on Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to match all packets.

    [NPE2] interface ten-gigabitethernet1/0/1
    [NPE2-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] service-instance 10
    [NPE2-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] encapsulation default
    

    # Bind service instance 10 to the VSI aaa.

    [NPE2-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] xconnect vsi aaa
    
  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 an N-PW to NPE 1 and NPE 2, respectively.

    [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
    

    # Create service instance 10 on Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to match all packets.

    [NPE3] interface ten-gigabitethernet1/0/1
    [NPE3-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] service-instance 10
    [NPE3-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] encapsulation default
    

    # Bind service instance 10 to the VSI aaa.

    [NPE3-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1-srv10] xconnect vsi aaa
    

Verifying the configuration

# Execute the display l2vpn pw verbose command on each PE. The output shows that PWs in up state have been established.
