This section describes the configuration on the ASBRs needed to enable inter-AS VPLS with MAC operations.
On each ASBR, you need to configure a VPLS mesh group within the VPLS routing instance which needs to include all of the PE routers within the AS, in addition to the ASBR. You need to configure the same mesh group for each of the ASs you want to interconnect using inter-AS VPLS. The mesh group name should be identical on each AS. You also must configure the peer-as all statement. This statement enables the router to establish a single pseudowire to each of the other ASBRs.
Configure the mesh group on each ASBR by including the mesh-group and peer-as all statements:
-
mesh-group mesh-group-name {
-
peer-as all;
- }
You can include these statements at the following hierarchy levels:
