Configuring VPLS with BGP Signaling on a PE Router

To configure VPLS with BGP signaling on the PE router:

1. Configure a single instance of VPLS, known as a VPLS instance, on the PE router for

each VPLS domain in which the router participates.

2. (Optional) Configure BGP multihoming for the customer site.

3. (Optional) Configure optional attributes for the VPLS instance.

4. Configure network interfaces to connect the PE router to each CE device.

5. (Optional) Configure nondefault subscriber policies for the VPLS network interface.

6. Configure a loopback interface and assign a router ID that uses the IP address of the

loopback interface.

7. Configure MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) to connect local and remote PE routers.

8. Set up BGP signaling on the autonomous system configured to signal reachability

for this VPLS instance.

Configuring VPLS Instances with BGP Signaling

You must configure a VPLS instance for each VPLS domain in which the router

participates. From a configuration standpoint, a VPLS instance is simply a new or existing

bridge group that you configure with additional VPLS attributes.

Table 114 on page 590 lists the commands that you use to configure a basic VPLS instance,

as described in this section.
