Traditional Layer 2 switching environments consist of Layer 2 devices (such as switches) that partition data into broadcast domains. The broadcast domains can be created through physical topologies or logically through virtual local area networks (VLANs). For MX-series routers, you can logically configure broadcast domains within virtual switch routing instances, VPLS routing instances, or bridging domains. The individual routing instances or bridging domains are differentiated through VLAN identifiers and these instances or domains function much like traditional VLANs.
For detailed information and configuration instructions on bridging domains and spanning tree protocol, see the JUNOS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide, the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide, and the JUNOS Feature Guide.
The following sections provide configuration information specific to VPLS in regards to integrated routing and bridging:
