xconnect
The vc-id must be unique for each pair of provider edge devices. Therefore, in large networks, you
should keep track of the VC ID assignments to ensure that a VC ID is not assigned more than once.
The pw-class keyword with the pw-class-name value binds the xconnect configuration of an attachment
circuit to a specific pseudowire class. In this way, the pseudowire class configuration serves as a template
that contains settings used by all attachment circuits bound to it with the xconnect command.
To configure the pseudowire class, use the pseudowire-class global configuration command to enter
pseudo-wire class configuration mode. See the IOS documentation for this command.

The Catalyst 3750 Metro switch supports only the encapsulation mpls and preferred-path options in
pseudo-wire configuration mode.
Examples This example shows how to establish an Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) tunnel between the PE1 VLAN
3 interface and the PE2 VLAN 4 interface. PE1 has IP address 10.0.0.1/32 that PE2 discovers through
routing and PE2 has IP address 20.0.0.1/32 that PE1 discovers through routing.
At the PE1 interface:
Switch(config)# interface vlan 3
Switch(config-if)# xconnect 20.0.0.1 123 encapsulation mpls
At the PE2 interface:
Switch(config)# interface vlan 4
Switch(config-if)# xconnect 10.0.0.1 123 encapsulation mpls
This example shows how to configure a pseudowire class named vc-class and then configure xconnect
service for an interface by binding the interface to the pseudowire named 123 with a remote peer
10.0.3.201. The configuration uses the settings in the pseudowire class.
Switch (config)# pseudowire-class vc-class
Switch (config-pw-class)# encapsulation mpls
Switch (config-pw-class)# preferred-path interface tunnel 100
Switch (config-pw-class)# exit
Switch(config)# interface Gigabit Ethernet 1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# xconnect 10.0.3.201 123 pw-class vc-class
You can verify your setting by entering the show mplsl2 transport vc privileged EXEC command.
