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. Specify the interface for VPLS traffic using the interface statement in the routing instance configuration:

interface interface-name;

You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name routing-instances routing-instance-name]
• [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name]

You must also define each interface by configuring the interfaces statement:

interfaces {

    interface-name {

        vlan-tagging;

        encapsulation encapsulation-type;

        unit unit-number {

            vlan-id vlan-id-number;

            family vpls;

        }

    }

}

You can configure these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family]

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: Network 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
