7. Create the VPLS address family to configure the router to exchange layer 2 NLRI for
each VPLS instance configured on the router.
You must issue the address-family vpls command separately for each VPLS instance
configured on the router.
host1(config-router)#address-family vpls customer1
host1(config-router-af)#exit-address-family
host1(config-router)#address-family vpls customer2
After you configure MPLS LSPs and BGP signaling, the router automatically generates
a VPLS virtual core interface for each VPLS instance. The VPLS virtual core interface
represents all of the MPLS tunnels from the router to the remote VE device.

Example: Configuring VPLS with BGP Signaling
The example in this section shows how to configure the VPLS topology illustrated in
Figure 129 on page 599. The example includes the commands for configuring VPLS on
both the local E Series router (PE 1) and the remote E Series router (PE 2).
