Configuring VPLS Quick Steps for Configuring VPLS
OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide September 2009 page 11-5
10 If the SDP is going to use static LSPs, first disable LDP-signaled LSPs using the no form of the
configure service sdp ldp command then disable auto-label signaling (targeted LDP) for the SDP using
the configure service sdp signaling command with the off option. For example:
-> configure service sdp 10 no ldp
-> configure service sdp 10 signaling off
By default, auto-label signaling is enabled for SDPs; it is only necessary to disable signaling when the SDP
is associated with static LSPs, which are manually configured to handle label-mapping actions.
11 Once LDP and auto-label signaling is disabled for the SDP, then associate the necessary static LSPs
with the SDP using the configure service sdp lsp command. For example, the following command associ-
ates SDP 10 with the static LSP named “path-to-R4”:
-> configure service sdp 10 lsp path-to-R4
12 Create a VPLS service and associate that service with a customer account using the configure service
vpls create command. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 customer 10 create
13 Configure a description for the VPLS service using the configure service vpls description command.
For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 description “VPLS100-CustA”
14 By default, the administrative status for the VPLS service is disabled. To enable the service, use the
configure service vpls shutdown command with the no shutdown option. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 no shutdown
15 Bind the VPLS service to the SDP tunnel using the configure service vpls mesh-sdp command. For
example, the following command binds VPLS service 100 to mesh SDP 10:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 10 create
16 Configure customer-facing ports using the configure service port mode access with command. For
example:
-> configure service port 1/2 mode access
17 Configure the encapsulation type for the access port using the configure service port encap-type
command. The encapsulation type determines if the port will support one or multiple Service Access
Points (SAPs). For example, use the null option to support only one SAP on the port:
-> configure service port 1/2 encap-type null
The following command example configures the port to support multiple SAPs (VLAN 802.1q tags):
-> configure service port 1/4 encap-type dot1q
18 Create a Service Access Point (SAP) using the configure service vpls sap create command. For
example, the following command creates a SAP on access port 1/4 that will direct customer traffic that is
802.1q-tagged with VLAN ID 50 to service 100:
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 1/4:50
