Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 7.5.

Description

If no active interfaces are configured at the site level, it is assumed that all traffic for a VPLS site travels through a single, nonmultihomed PE router.

Options

any—One configured interface is randomly designated as the active interface for the VPLS site.
primary interface-name—Specify the name of the multihomed interface to be used as the primary interface by the VPLS site.

Usage Guidelines

See Specifying an Interface as the Active Interface.
