Before You Configure VPLS

The JUNOSe implementation of VPLS uses features of transparent bridging, BGP, MPLS, LDP, BGP/MPLS VPNs, and layer 2 services over MPLS. We recommend that you have a thorough understanding of these protocols before you configure and use VPLS in your network.

For more information about configuring transparent bridging, BGP, MPLS, LDP, BGP/MPLS VPNs, and layer 2 services over MPLS, see all of the preceding chapters in this guide, as well as the following chapter:

• JUNOSe Link Layer Configuration Guide, Chapter 10, Configuring Transparent Bridging

For more information about configuring the layer 2 interfaces that support VPLS, see the following chapters:
