Configure Interfaces for VPLS Routing

On each PE router and for each VPLS routing instance, specify which interfaces are intended for the VPLS traffic traveling between PE and CE routers by including the interface statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name] hierarchy level:

[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name]

interface interface-name;

You must also configure each interface at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:

[edit]

interfaces {

    interface-name {

        vlan-tagging;

        encapsulation encapsulation-type;

        unit unit-number {

            vlan-id vlan-id-number;

            family vpls;

        }

    }

}

The following sections provide enough information to configure interfaces for VPLS routing. For detailed information on configuring interfaces and the statements at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level, see the JUNOS Internet Software Configuration Guide: Interfaces and Class of Service.

To configure an interface for VPLS, complete the procedures described in the following sections:

• Configure the Interface Name
• Configure the Interface Encapsulation
• Enable VLAN Tagging
