ONFIGURATION

Use the vsi command to create a VPLS instance or enter VSI view. When creating a 
VPLS instance, you must specify a locally unique VPLS instance name, and must 
choose automatic discovery or manual configuration as peer discovery 
mechanism. Currently, only manual configuration, namely, static mode, is 
supported.

Use the pwsignal command to specify a PW signaling protocol used by the VSI 
and enter the VSI-LDP view.

Specifying LDP as the PW signaling protocol for the VSI takes you to the VSI-LDP 
view

Perform the following configuration in VSI view.

Currently, PW signaling supports LDP only.

Use the vsi-id command to specify an ID for the current VSI. The ID must be locally 
unique.

Perform the following configuration in VSI-LDP view.

Use the peer command to create a VPLS peer PE contained in an instance. When 
you create a VPLS peer PE, you must specify an IP address and peer type for the 
peer PE. By default, the peer type is NPE. When you specify UPE as the peer type, it 
indicates the peer is a user convergence node UPE in hierarchical VPLS 
architecture. You can also specify an ID for a VC to the peer, and the ID must be 
consistent with that of the remote. Multipoint-to-multipoint connections are 
needed among specified multiple remote peer NPEs, but not needed between 
UPEs and NPEs.

Perform the following configuration in VSI-LDP view.
