connectivity-type

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify when a VPLS connection is taken down depending on whether or not the interface for the VPLS routing instance is customer-facing or integrated routing and bridging (IRB).

Note:

The connectivity-type statement is not supported for FEC 129 VPLS (also known as LDP VPLS with BGP-based autodiscovery).

Default

ce

Options

ce—Require that for the VPLS connection to be up, the customer-facing interface for the VPLS routing instance must also be up. If the customer-facing interface fails, the VPLS connection is taken down.

irb—Allow a VPLS connection to remain up so long as an IRB interface is configured for the VPLS routing instance.

permanent—Allow a VPLS connection to remain up until specifically taken down. This option is reserved for use in configuring Layer 2 Wholesale subscriber networks. See the Broadband Subscriber Management Solutions Guide for details about configuring a Layer 2 Wholesale network.

Note:

To specifically take down a VPLS routing instance that is using the permanent option, all associated static logical interfaces must also be down.

Required Privilege Level
