Notes
There are two VPLS MAC address learning modes:
• qualified: In this mode, the MAC address learning is
based on the VLAN. Different VLANs in a same VSI
instance can have different MAC address tables.
• unqualified: In this mode, the MAC address learning is
based on the VSI. It is the default mode.
MAC address learning mode does not affect
interworking.
You can specify the handling of unknown frames by
using the unknown-frame { unicast | multicast }
{ drop | local-handle | broadcast } command in the VSI
view.
To establish a VPN in LDP signaling mode, you need to
specify a peer by using the peer peer-address
[ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ] [ tunnel-policy policy-name ]
[ upe ] command. You must specify a VSI ID before you
configure a peer.
peer-address is often set to the loopback interface
address of the peer.
negotiation-vc-id refers to the VSI ID used for
negotiation with the peer. This value is often used when
the VSI ID is different at both ends but interworking is
needed.
vc-id cannot be the same as that of the other local
VSIs and as that of the other local negotiation-vc-id.
tunnel-policy specifies a tunnel policy used for
communicating with the peer. This value should be an
existent tunnel policy. upe indicates that the peer access
mode is UPE.
You must specify a VSI ID in VSI LDP view. If
negotiation-vc-id is not specified, this VSI ID is used to
negotiate when you configure a peer. In this case, the
VSI ID must be consistent with the remote VSI ID, and
negotiation-vc-id must not be specified on the peer.
