Table 169 ve-name command
Description This command configures the allowed range for the VE-id value: locally configured and
received in a NLRI. Configuration of a VE-id higher than the value specified in this command
is not allowed.
Upon reception of a higher VE-id in an NLRI imported in this VPLS instance (RT=configured
import RT) the following action must be taken:
• a trap must be generated informing the operator of the mismatch
• NLRI must be dropped
• no service labels are to be installed for this VE-id
• no new NLRI must be generated if a new offset is required for VE-id
The no form of this command sets the max-ve-id to un-configured. The BGP VPLS status
should be administratively down for “no max-ve-id” to be used.
The max-ve-id value can be changed without shutting down bgp-vpls if the newly provisioned
value does not conflict with the already configured local VE-ID. If the value of the local VE-ID
is higher than the new maxve-id value, the command is rejected. the operator needs to
decrease the VEID before running the command.
The actions taken for other max-ve-id values are described below:
• max-ve-id value higher than all VE-IDs (local and received) is allowed and there are no
effects
• max-ve-id higher than the local VE-ID but smaller than the remote VE-IDs
• provisioning is allowed
• a warning message will be generated stating that “Higher VE-ID values were received
in the BGP VPLS context. Related PWs will be removed.”
• the PWs associated with the higher VE-IDs will be removed locally
• this is a situation that should be corrected by the operator as the PW may be down just
at the local PE, unnecessarily consuming core bandwidth. The higher VE-IDs should
be removed or lowered.
If the max-ve-id had increased a BGP route refresh is sent to the VPLS community to get the
routes which might have been rejected earlier due to max-ve-id check. Default no max-ve-id is
not configured. A max-ve-id value needs to be provisioned for BGP VPLS to be in “no
shutdown” state.
Default no max-ve-id
Parameters value — Specifies the allowed range of [1-value] for the VE-id. The configured value must be
bigger than the existing VE-ids.
