29 Configuring VPLS
This chapter describes how to configure VPLS. Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) provides a
way to enable transparent Layer-2 Ethernet LAN services to geographically dispersed customer
sites connected by a Wide Area Network (WAN) by providing support for traditional Layer-2
broadcast and multicast services.
29.1.1 Configuring VPLS using LDP
VPLS uses a set of Martini circuits grouped by a common VPLS identifier to achieve this service
objective. LDP is used to signal the constituent VCs and the service provider may use either LDP
to set up LSP tunnels to transport data through virtual circuits. This chapter includes a
step-by-step configuration of Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).
