Set the port encapsulation mode to dot1q (classify traffic based on customer VLAN ID tag):
-> configure service port 1/1 encap-type dot1q
Create the SAP in the VPLS instance 100 with customer VLAN ID 100 as the dot1q encapsulation value.
Note that any given SAP can only exist in one VPLS instance.
Note that any given SAP can only exist in one VPLS instance.
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 1/1:100 create
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 1/1:100 no shutdown
Router 3 (PE2)
Configure port 2/1 as an access port (by default all ports are of type network):
-> configure service port 2/1 mode access
Set the port encapsulation mode to dot1q (classify traffic based on customer VLAN ID tag):
-> configure service port 2/1 encap-type dot1q
Create the SAP in the VPLS instance 100 with customer VLAN ID 100 as the dot1q encapsulation value.
Note that any given SAP can only exist in one VPLS instance.
Note that any given SAP can only exist in one VPLS instance.
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 2/1:100 create
-> configure service vpls 100 sap 2/1:100 no shutdown
The above commands create a virtual bridge between port 1/1 on PE1 and port 2/1 on PE2 for customer
VLAN 100 traffic, send bi-directional traffic, and verify the flow/connectivity.

CLI Command Sequence Example
The following is an example of what the example VPLS configuration commands look like entered
sequentially on the command line of the provider edge switches:
