xconnect
xconnect
Use the xconnect interface configuration command at customer-edge (CE) or service provider-edge (PE)
ingress and egress Ethernet ports or VLAN interfaces with a destination and virtual-connection (VC) ID
to route a Layer 2 packets over a specified point-to-point VC by using Ethernet over multiprotocol label
switching (EoMPLS). You can also bind the VC to a pseudowire. Use the no form of this command on
both edge devices to delete the VC.
xconnect destination vc-id {encapsuluation mpls [pw-class pw-class-name]}
no xconnect
Note This command will replace the mpls l2transport route interface configuration command.
Syntax Description
Defaults There are no point-to-point connections configured.
When configured, the attachment circuit is not bound to the pseudowire.
Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines An MPLS VC runs across an MPLS cloud to connect Ethernet interfaces on two provider edge devices
at each edge of the service provider network. You must enter the command at the PE device at each edge
of the service provider network to establish a bidirectional virtual connection, which consists of two
unidirectional label-switched paths (LSPs). A VC is not established if not properly defined from both
ends.
For the destination parameter, specify the LDP IP address of the other PE device; do not specify the IP
address of the device on which you are entering the command.
destination The destination label distribution protocol (LDP) IP address of the remote
provider edge device. The IP address cannot be an IP address on the route on
which the command is entered.
vc-id Assign a virtual connection identifier (VC ID) for the virtual connection between
the two peer provider edge devices. The range is 1 to 4294967295.
encapsuluation
mpls
Specify the MPLS data encapsulation method.
pw-class
pw-class-name
(Optional) Specify the pseudowire class for advanced configuration.
