Overview
Routing over VPLS provides routing functionality of a virtual interface with VPLS endpoints. By
configuring a VE interface on a VPLS instance, VE routing packets arrive on the VPLS endpoint or
uplink.
VE over VPLS routes packets between the VPLS VE interface and all other IP interfaces outside of
VPLS domain which reside on the PE device including:
•
Physical interfaces
•
Other VLAN based VE interfaces for both tagged and untagged ports
•
VE interfaces which reside on other VPLS instances
Routing over VPLS supports dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS on the VE over VPLS
interface. Refer to
745 for additional protocol support information.
