Notes
When you create a VSI, you need to specify a name for
it.
If you use BGP as the signaling protocol, choose the
keyword auto; if you use LDP, choose the keyword
static.
By default, the encapsulation type is VLAN and the
MTU is 1500 bytes.
For the Virtual Leased Line (VLL) interworking, the
encapsulation type is determined by the private network
interface type of PE.
• For the Ethernet subinterface, the encapsulation type is
VLAN.
• For the main interface of Ethernet, the encapsulation
type is Ethernet.
• For the VLAN interface, the encapsulation type is
VLAN.
The private network interface type and the MTU must be
consistent on the PE at both ends.
When you configure the encapsulation type and the
MTU:
• If you use BGP, you must configure them after router
distinguisher (RD) configuration; otherwise, the
system prompts that basic configuration must be
performed first.
• If you use LDP, you must configure a VSI ID first.
After you create a VSI, you must specify a signaling
protocol, which can be LDP or BGP.
Each VSI has a MAC table. You can configure MAC
entries in system view.
You need to configure MAC address learning in VSI
view.
