Configuring VPLS Configuring VPLS Services
OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide September 2009 page 11-19
Creating a VPLS Service
A VPLS service is identified by a service ID number and is associated with an existing customer ID
number. Both ID numbers are assigned when the service is created using the configure service vpls
create command. For example, the following command creates a service with an ID of 100 and associates
that service with customer ID 10:
-> configure service vpls 100 customer 10 create
Once created, the service ID is then used to bind the service to an SDP and a SAP on each local and
remote router for the service. See “Configuring Service Distribution Points (SDPs)” on page 11-16 and
“Configuring Service Access Points (SAPs)” on page 11-21 for more information.
Optionally configure a description for the service using the configure service vpls description command.
For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 description “cust10-vpls100”
Modify Default VPLS Parameters
The following VPLS parameter values are set by default at the time the service is created. If necessary, use
the specified commands to change the default values.
Refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for more information about the above VPLS parameters
and related commands.
Enable the Service
By default, the VPLS service is disabled when the service is created. Once service parameters and SAP
and SDP bindings are configured, use the configure service vpls shutdown command with the no shut-
down option. For example, the following command enables VPLS 100:
-> configure service vpls 100 no shutdown
To disable the service, enter the following command:
-> configure service vpls 100 shutdown
Deleting a VPLS Service
Before deleting a service from the switch configuration, disable the administrative status of the service and
remove any SDPs and SAPs bound to the service. Once this is done, use the no form of the configure
service vpls create command to delete the service. For example:
-> configure service no vpls 10
