Configuring VPLS

The following sections show the configuration steps necessary to implement VPLS:

• Configuring Routing Protocols on the PE and Core Routers
• Configuring VPLS Encapsulation on CE-Facing Interfaces
• Configuring LDP Signaling for VPLS
• Configuring a VPLS Instance with BGP Signaling
• Configuring Interworking Between BGP Signaling and LDP Signaling in VPLS Instances
• Configuring Multihoming on a VPLS Border Router
• Option: Selecting an LSP for the VPLS Routing Instance to Traverse
• Option: Configuring VPLS Multihoming with BGP Signaling
• Option: Configuring VPLS Traffic Flooding over a Point-to-Multipoint LSP
• Option: Configuring Automatic Site Selection
• Option: Configuring VPLS to Use LSI Interfaces
• Option: Configuring Tunnel Services on MX Series Routers
• Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging in a VPLS Instance (MX Series Routers Only)
• Configuring VLAN IDs in a VPLS Instance (MX Series Routers Only)
• Defining a VPLS Firewall Policer
• Defining a VPLS Firewall Filter
• Restricting Broadcast Packets in VPLS
• Option: Enabling VPLS Graceful Restart
• Configuring the VPLS MAC Address Timeout
• Option: Configuring VPLS Interinstance Bridging and Routing
• Option: Selecting Interfaces to Process VPLS Traffic
• Option: Limiting the Number of MAC Addresses Learned on a VPLS Interface
• Option: Optimizing VPLS Traffic Flows
• Option: Aggregated Interfaces for VPLS
• Configuring VPLS Graceful Routing Engine Switchover and Nonstop Active Routing
