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. See Example: 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.
Configure an IBGP session between PE routers so that the routers can exchange information about routes originating and terminating in the VPLS. See Example: Configuring BGP on the VPLS PE Router

Overview

The configuration instructions in this topic describe how to configure Ethernet VPLS encapsulation on a Gigabit Ethernet IQ or Gigabit Ethernet physical interface and enable the VPLS family on the interface.

Configuration

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure VPLS VLAN encapsulation on a Gigabit Ethernet IQ or Gigabit Ethernet physical interface:

Configure the ethernet-vpls encapsulation on the interface.
[edit ]user@host# set interfaces ge-3/0/6 encapsulation ethernet-vpls
Enable the VPLS family on the interface.
[edit ]user@host# set interfaces ge-3/0/6 unit 0 family vpls
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 interfaces command.
