Configuring a VPLS Management Interface
A management interface behaves as a host (non-routing) similarly to how the out-of-band
interfaces are created within the VPLS context. The following commands have the same definition
as a regular interface. Notice that there may not be overlap in address space between ALL
management interfaces regardless of service association.
This interface may be used for CPM protocols such as telnet, SSH, SNMP, ping, ANCP, etc. CPM
filtering can be used to limit access to this interface.
Use the following CLI syntax to create a VPLS management interface.
CLI Syntax: config>service>vpls# interface ip-int-name
address ip-address[/mask] [netmask]
arp-timeout seconds
description description-string
mac ieee-address
no shutdown
static-arp ip-address ieee-address
The following show an example of the PE discovery policy command usage.
Example: config>service>vpls# interface test create
config>service>vpls>interface# address 123.231.10.10/24
config>service>vpls>interface# arp-timeout 5000
config>service>vpls>interface# mac 14:31:ff:00:00:00
config>service>vpls>interface# no shutdown
The following displays the configuration.
