7.9.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring dual-homed Kompella VPLS, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
To improve the reliability of VPLS and prevent the fault on a PE, you can adopt the networking
where a CE accesses two PEs.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring dual-homed Kompella VPLS, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring LSR IDs and enabling MPLS on PEs and Ps
l Enabling MPLS L2VPN on PEs
l Establishing the tunnels between PEs to transmit user data
l Establishing BGP VPLS peer relationship between PEs
Data Preparation
To configure dual-homed Kompella VPLS, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1 BGP peers used to exchange VPLS information
2 Name of the VSI
3 RDs and VPN Targets of the VSI
4 CE ID of the site, maximum number of permitted CEs that access the VPLS network,
and default CE offset
5 Interface bound to the VSI
7.9.2 Creating VSIs and Configuring BGP Signaling
When configuring Kompella VPLS, you need to create and configure VSIs (set RDs and VPN
targets of the VSIs), configure BGP, and create site connections.
Context
Configure two VSIs with the same attributes on two dual-homed PEs.
Do as follows on the PEs:
