- Configure a single instance of VPLS, known as a VPLS instance,
on the PE router for each VPLS domain in which the router participates.
- (Optional) Configure optional attributes for the VPLS
instance.
For instructions, see Configuring Optional Attributes for VPLS Instances.
- Configure network interfaces to connect the PE router
to each CE device.
For instructions, see Configuring VPLS Network Interfaces.
- (Optional) Configure nondefault subscriber policies for
the VPLS network interface.
For instructions, see Configuring Subscriber Policies for VPLS Network Interfaces.
- Configure a loopback interface to be associated with the
targeted LDP neighbor, and assign a router ID that uses the IP address
of the loopback interface.
For instructions, see Configuring the Loopback Interface and Router ID for VPLS.
- Configure MPLS LSPs to connect local and remote PE routers.
For instructions, see Configuring MPLS LSPs for VPLS.
- Set up LDP signaling for this VPLS instance to establish
targeted sessions to the remote PE neighbors configured at the edge
of the MPLS core network.
- Configure an interior gateway protocol (IGP), such as
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) or Intermediate System–to–Intermediate
System (IS-IS), to enable routing within the core network.
