Configuring BGP-based auto-discovery for VPLS

NOTE
When BGP is disabled, the system also removes the BGP local AS number from the configuration.
Configuring VPLS to support auto-discovery
This section describes how to configure VPLS to support BGP-based auto-discovery. It includes the
following configuration details:
• “Creating a VPLS instance”
• “Defining the route target for a VPLS instance (optional)”
• “Enabling and disabling load balancing for a VPLS instance (optional)”
NOTE
This section provides minimal information about configuring VPLS and other related configuration
tasks, because its focus is to provide information about configuring VPLS to support BGP-based
auto-discovery.
Creating a VPLS instance
To create a VPLS instance, enter VPLS configuration statements on two or more PE routers.
On the PE routers, enter commands such as the following:
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# mpls-interface ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls CustomerA 10
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-CustomerA)#
On the VPLS peers (when they are Brocade devices), enter commands similar to the above.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
Brocade(config-mpls)# mpls-interface ethernet 6/1
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls CustomerA 10
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-CustomerA)#
In the above configurations, the endpoints of the VPLS instance are associated by
having the same Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCID) of 10 on each PE router.
Syntax: [no] router mpls
Syntax: [no] mpls-interface ethernet [slot-num/ portnum]
Syntax: [no] vpls name / vpls-vcid
The router mpls command enables MPLS. Enter the [no] form of the command to disable it.
The mpls-interface ethernet command specifies the interface on which to create the VPLS
instance.
The vpls name parameter specifies the VPLS instance name. The name can be up to 64
alphanumeric characters.
The vpls-vcid parameter specifies the VCID for the BGP L2VPNVPLS instance. The endpoints of a
VPLS instance are associated by having the same VCID on each PE router. Enter a number in the
range 1 – 4294967294.
