Configuring An Ldp Vpls Instance - HP 12500 Series Configuration Manual

Configure basic MPLS on the MPLS backbone devices (PEs and P devices) to establish LSP tunnels
•
on the backbone network. For configuration information, see the chapter "Configuring basic
MPLS."
• Configure LDP remote peers on PEs to establish remote LDP sessions. For configuration information,
see the chapter "Configuring basic MPLS."

Configuring an LDP VPLS instance

When creating an LDP VPLS instance, perform the following configurations:
Specify a globally unique name for the VPLS instance and set the peer discovery mechanism to
1.
manual configuration.
Configure LDP as the signaling protocol to be used.
2.
Specify the ID of the VPLS instance.
3.
Use the peer command to create the VPLS peer PE for the instance, specifying the following:
4.
IP address of the peer PE.
ID of the PW to the peer PE, which must be consistent with that specified on the peer PE.
Type of the peer PE. If you specify a peer as a UPE, the peer is a user access convergence
device in the H-VPLS model. If you specify the backup-peer keyword when creating the peer,
the local PE is a UPE and you create a primary NPE and a secondary NPE on it. On a UPE, you
can configure only one pair of primary and secondary NPEs. The specified remote NPE peers
must be fully meshed, but it is not necessary for a UPE to connect with all the NPEs.
PW class template to be referenced. A PW class template defines the PW transport mode and
tunneling policy to be used.
To configure an LDP VPLS instance:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a PW class template and
enter its view
Configure the PW transport mode
Specify a tunneling policy
Return to system view
Create an LDP VPLS instance and
enter VSI view
Specify LDP as the PW signaling
protocol and enter VSI LDP view
Specify an ID for the VPLS instance
Use the command...
system-view
pw-class pw-class-name
trans-mode { ethernet | vlan }
pw-tunnel-policy policy-name
quit
vsi vsi-name static [ hub-spoke |
p2p ]
pwsignal ldp
vsi-id vsi-id

Remarks
—
Optional
By default, no PW class template is
created.
Optional
VLAN by default
Optional
By default, the tunneling policy
specified through the tnl-policy
command in VSI view is used.
For how to configure a tunneling
policy, see the chapter
"Configuring MPLS L3VPN."
