Configuring VE over VPLS
For information on configuring VPLS, refer to “Configuring MPLS Virtual Private LAN Services” on
page 449
Use the router-interface ve command to configure the VE per VPLS instance. The user must specify
a router-interface for each VPLS instance. Use commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls test 10
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test)# router-interface ve 200
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test)# vlan 10
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test-vlan-10)# tagged ethe 4/1
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test-vlan-10)# vlan 200 isid 20000
Syntax: [no] router-interface ve number
The number parameter specifies the virtual interface number.
Consistency checks
The following error messages are a sample of what is seen when trying to add an invalid
configuration.
1. Double tag not supported in the VPLS instance which has VE enabled.
In this example, when a VPLS instance has VE enabled, it is blocked from configuring a double tag.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls vinst 1000
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# router-interface ve 3
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# vlan 20 inner-vlan 30
Error - Dual tag or ISID is not supported in a VPLS instace that has VE enabled
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst-vlan-10)#
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls vinst 1000
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# vlan 20 inner-vlan 30
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst-vlan-20-inner-vlan-30)# vpls vinst 1000
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)#
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# router-interface ve 3
Error - VE over VPLS cannot be enabled on a VPLS instance that has Dual tag or
ISID configured
2. Configuration check that disallows a VE over VPLS configuration on unsupported interface
modules.
In this example, a VE over VPLS is not supported on 24x10G modules for any type of endpoint.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls vinst 2000
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# router-interface ve 3
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst)# vlan 200
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-vinst-vlan-200)# tagged ethernet 4/2
Error - VE over VPLS cannot be enabled on Darter ports. One of the ports in this
instance is a Darter port
