d. Activate the neighbors in the L2VPN address family for the PE-to-PE BGP
session.
e. Create the VPWS address family to configure the router to exchange layer
2 NLRI for each VPWS instance configured on the router.

routers.
a. Enable MPLS on the virtual router.
b. Configure the core-facing interface on which you want to enable MPLS, Label
Distribution Protocol (LDP), and topology-driven LSPs.
c. Enable MPLS on the core-facing interface.
d. Enable LDP and topology-driven LSPs on the core-facing interface.

Configuring a VPWS Instance
You must configure a VPWS instance for each L2VPN in which the router participates.
From a configuration standpoint, a VPWS instance is simply a new L2VPN that you
configure with additional VPWS L2VPN attributes.
Table 101 on page 659 lists the commands that you use to configure a basic VPWS
instance.
