VPLS Overview Configuring VPLS
page 11-10 OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide September 2009
• VPLS1 and VPLS2 are bound as a mesh-SDP to SDP1 on PE1 and to SDP2 on PE2. Binding of aser-
vice (VPLS instance) to an SDP is required to set up a Virtual Circuit (VC) / pseudo wire (PW) to the
far end.
• The Label Distribution Protocol will set up a label path, VC1 and VC2, on top of the LSP Tunnel. The
VC is setup and managed by a Targeted LDP (TLDP) session. TLDP is enabled by default at the time
LDP is enabled.
• VPLS1 can associate with SDP1 and any other SDP (for example,: SDP2) on PE1, since a given VPLS
instance can bind to multiple SDPs.
