Configuring VPLS Multihoming

VPLS multihoming allows you to connect a customer site to multiple PE routers to provide redundant connectivity while preventing the formation of Layer 2 loops in the service provider’s network. A VPLS site multihomed to two or more PE routers provides redundant connectivity in the event of a PE router-to-CE device link failure or the failure of a PE router. For more information on VPLS multihoming, see VPLS Multihoming.

Note: If you want to enable multihoming for a VPLS routing instance, you cannot also enable LDP signaling. You can only enable BGP signaling.

The following sections describe how to configure VPLS multihoming. Some information is also provided on single-homed site configuration versus multihomed site configuration.
