Juniper JUNOSE 11.2.X BGP AND MPLS

CHAPTER 12
Configuring VPLS
This chapter describes how to configure the virtual private LAN service (VPLS) on the
router.
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.
NOTE: For more information about configuring transparent bridging, see the JunosE
Link Layer Configuration GuideFor more information about configuring the layer 2
interfaces that support VPLS, see the JunosE Physical Layer Configuration Guide and
the JunosE Link Layer Configuration Guide.
