only be used when the BGP VPLS status is shutdown. Command “no shutdown” cannot be 
used if there is no ve-name configured.

Description This command configures a ve-id. Only one ve-id can be configured per BGP VPLS instance. 
The VEID can be changed without shutting down the VPLS Instance. When the VE-ID changs, 
BGP is withdrawing its own previously advertised routes and sending a route-refresh to all the 
peers which would result in reception of all the remote routes again. The old PWs are removed 
and new ones are instantiated for the new VE-ID value.
The no form of the command removes the configured ve-id. It can be used only when the BGP 
VPLS status is shutdown. Command “no shutdown” cannot be used if there is no ve-id 
configured.
Default no ve-id
Parameters value — A two bytes identifier that represents the local instance in a VPLS and is advertised 
through the BGP NLRI. Must be lower than or equal to the max-ve-id.
Values 1..65535
