Configuring MPLS Virtual Private LAN Services
Overview
This chapter explains how to configure Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS). VPLS is a method for
carrying Layer 2 frames between customer edge (CE) devices across an MPLS domain. The
implementation supports VPLS as described in the IETF RFC 4762 (Virtual Private LAN Services
over MPLS Using LDP Signaling).
NOTE
VPLS endpoints can be configured on a Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) enabled interface.
Table 65 displays the individual devices and the Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) features they
support.
