Before You Configure VPLS
The JUNOSe implementation of VPLS uses features of transparent bridging, BGP,
MPLS, LDP, BGP/MPLS VPNs, and layer 2 services over MPLS. We recommend that
you have a thorough understanding of these protocols before you configure and use
VPLS in your network.

see the JUNOSe Physical Layer Configuration Guide and the JUNOSe Link Layer
Configuration Guide.
