Overview

NOTE
The NetIron CES and NetIron CER require at least one active endpoint for software forwarding.
VE over VPLS configuration and ICMP redirects
VE over VPLS adjacent devices can be on the same IP subnet while being part of the same VPLS
segment. To prevent generation of ICMP redirects and sending of data packets to the CPU, it is
recommended to turn-off "ICMP redirects". Note that ICMP redirect is ON by default.
New protocol priority classification supported
With routing over VPLS, the following protocols is now recognized at the MPLS interface and
prioritized accordingly:
