Requirements

Before you begin:

Before you begin, see information on Selective Stateless Packet-based Services in the Junos OS Administration Guide for Security Devices.
Configure the interfaces that will carry the VPLS traffic between the PE router and the CE devices. SeeExample: Configuring Routing Interfaces on the VPLS PE Router and Example: Configuring the Interface to the VPLS PE Device.
Create a VPLS routing instance on each PE router that is participating in the VPLS. See Example: Configuring the VPLS Routing Instance.
Configure an IGP on the PE routers to exchange routing information. See Example: Configuring OSPF on the VPLS PE Router
Configure RSVP-TE, see Example: Configuring RSVP on the VPLS PE Router and then MPLS LSPs on the PE routers, see Example: Configuring MPLS on the VPLS PE Router. Alternatively configure LDP on the PE routers, see Example: Configuring LDP on the VPLS PE Router.
Configure routing options on the PE router. See Example: Configuring Routing Options on the VPLS PE Router.

Overview

In this example, you configure an internal BGP session between PE routers so that the routers can exchange information about routes originating and terminating in the VPLS. The PE routers use this information to determine which labels to use for traffic destined for remote sites.

Configuration

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure BGP on the VPLS PE router:

Configure the BGP internal group on the VPLS PE router.
[edit ]user@host# set protocols bgp group ibgp type internal local-address 10.255.7.168 neighbor 10.255.7.164
Configure the BGP family L2vpn and specify NLRI signaling.
[edit ]user@host# set protocols bgp family L2 VPN signaling
If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.
[edit]user@host# commit

Verification

To verify the configuration is working properly, enter the show protocols command.
