Creating a Management VPLS for SAP Protection
This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure a
management VPLS for SAP protection and provides the CLI commands, see Figure 40. The tasks
below should be performed on both nodes providing the protected VPLS service.
Before configuring a management VPLS, first read VPLS Redundancy on page 257 for an
introduction to the concept of management VPLS and SAP redundancy.
1. Create an SDP to the peer node.
2. Create a management VPLS.
3. Define a SAP in the m-vpls on the port towards the . Note that the port must be dot1q. The
SAP corresponds to the (stacked) VLAN on the 7210 SAS X in which STP is active.
4. Optionally modify STP parameters for load balancing(see Configuring Load Balancing with
Management VPLS on page 320).
5. Create an SDP in the m-vpls using the SDP defined in Step 1. Ensure that this SDP runs over
a protected LSP.
6. Enable the management VPLS service and verify that it is operationally up.
7. Create a list of VLANs on the port that are to be managed by this management VPLS.
8. Create one or more user VPLS services with SAPs on VLANs in the range defined by Step 6.
