■ 10-Gigabit Ethernet
■ VLAN and S-VLAN subinterfaces over bridged Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
The requirements and procedures for network interfaces are the same whether you
employ BGP or LDP signaling for VPLS.
To configure a network interface for a VPLS instance:
1. From Global Configuration mode, select the interface that you want to assign to
the VPLS instance.
host1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 3/0
2. From Interface Configuration mode or Subinterface Configuration mode, assign
the interface to the specified VPLS instance.
host1(config-if)#bridge-group customer1
Issuing this command with no optional keywords configures the network interface
as a subscriber (client) interface by default.
3. (Optional) Configure the interface as a trunk (server) interface. For more
information about the differences between a subscriber (client) interface and a
trunk (server) interface, see “Configuring Subscriber Policies for VPLS Network
Interfaces” on page 595 .
host1(config-if)#bridge-group customer1 subscriber-trunk
4. (Optional) Set the maximum number of MAC addresses that the network interface
can learn.
host1(config-if)#bridge-group customer1 learn 100
5. Enable SNMP link status processing only for the specified network interface in
the VPLS instance.
host1(config-if)#bridge-group customer1 snmp-trap link-status

Configuring Subscriber Policies for VPLS Network Interfaces
The router associates a VPLS network interface, as it does a bridge group interface,
with a default subscriber policy that enables intelligent flooding of packets within a
VPLS domain. This section describes how subscriber policies work and explains some
important considerations when you use subscriber policies for VPLS instances. The
