Configuring BGP on the VPLS PE Router

You configure an internal BGP (IBGP) session between PE routers so that the routers can exchange information about routes originating and terminating in the VPLS. The PE routers use this information to determine which labels to use for traffic destined for remote sites.

You can use either J-Web or the CLI configuration editor to configure BGP on the VPLS PE1 router.
