Cisco A9K-SIP-700 Configuration Guidelines

CHAPTER 7
Implementing IEEE 802.1ah Provider Backbone
Bridge
This module provides conceptual and configuration information for IEEE 802.1ah Provider Backbone Bridge
on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers. The IEEE 802.1ah standard (Ref [4]) provides a means for interconnecting
multiple provider bridged networks to build a large scale end-to-end Layer 2 provider bridged network.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers now supports a scenario when the provider backbone
bridge is a VPLS network. You can now configure pseudowires in the PBB edge bridge domain and core
bridge domain. In either type of bridge domain, the pseudowire functionality remains the same as in the native
bridge domain.
