12.6  L2VPN Kompella mode configuration
Unlike Martini mode, where all operation is done by the LDP, in this mode the LDP does only operate with 
transport labels. Autodetection (not typical of LDP signaling), and the construction of a pseudowire connection 
is entrusted to BGP.
12.6.1  L2VPN VPLS configuration algorithm
Step Description Command Keys
1 Configure the LDP (see section LDP 
configuration).
2 Create a network bridge in the system 
without specifying an IP address (see 
section Bridge configuration).
3 Create VPLS domain in the system and 
switch to the VPLS domain 
configuration mode.
esr(config-l2vpn)# vpls <NAME> <NAME> — name of the p2p 
service, set by the string of up 
to 31 characters.
4 Enable VPLS tunnel. esr(config-l2vpn-vpls)# enable
5 Add bridge domain. esr(config-l2vpn-vpls)# bridge-
group <ID>
<ID> — bridge domain 
identifier, specified in the range 
[1..250].
6 Switch to the autodiscovery bgp 
configuration context.
esr(config-l2vpn-vpls)# 
autodiscovery bgp
7 Specify route distinguisher for the given 
VPLS instance.
esr(config-bgp)# rd <RD> <RD> – Route distinguisher 
value, specified in one of the 
following forms:
<ASN>:<nn> — where 
<ASN> may take values 
[1..65535], nn may take 
values [1..65535];
<ADDR>:<nn>— where 
<ADDR> specified as 
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/EE, 
AAA-DDD may take 
values [0..255], nn may 
take values [1..65535];
<4ASN>:<nn>— where 
<4ASN> may take 
values [1..4294967295], 
nn may take values 
[1..65535];
