Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Commands

OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

page 26-11

Configures a Service Distribution Point (SDP). An SDP is a logical entity that directs traffic to another 
router through MPLS-based service tunnels.

configure service sdp sdp-id [mpls] create

configure service no sdp sdp-id

The identification number to associate with the specified SDP. The 
valid ID range is 1–17407.

The delivery mechanism for the SDP. No other mechanism is supported 
at this time.

By default, MPLS is the delivery mechanism for the SDP and the SDP administrative state is disabled.

• Use the no form of this command to remove the specified SDP. Disable the administrative status and 

remove any services associated with the SDP before attempting to remove the SDP.

• Administratively enabling the SDP is not allowed until a far-end router address is configured for the 

SDP. Specifying this address identifies the router on which the SDP will terminate. As a result, an SDP 
tunnel is configured that will provide a path from Point A to Point B.

• Configure an SDP on each participating provider edge (PE) router.

• Once created, an SDP is then bound to a specific customer Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). This 

binding process allows routers to participate in a service.

• Binding multiple services to one SDP is allowed; up to 32 SDP sessions are allowed at the same time.
