Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Commands

Configures a static MAC address entry in the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) forwarding database 
(FDB) that is associated with the specified mesh-Service Distribution Point (SDP) binding. Static MACs 
associated with SDPs are classified as remote MACs. A remote MAC is used by the associated VPLS so 
that MAC addresses are not learned on the edge device.

An existing VPLS ID number.

An existing SDP ID number that is bound to the specified service ID 
number.

A VC ID number used to validate the VC ID portion of each mesh SDP 
binding defined for the service. 

A 48-bit MAC address (aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff). Valid addresses are any 
non-broadcast, non-multicast MAC, and non-IEEE reserved addresses.

• Use the no form of this command to remove the remote static MAC address entry from the VPLS 

forwarding database.

• Static MAC addresses configured on one edge device are not propagated to other edge devices associ-

ated with the same VPLS instance. Each edge device has an independent forwarding database for the 
associated VPLS.

• A MAC address can participate in only one static MAC address entry (local or remote) for a specific 

VPLS.

-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 20 static-mac 00:00:da:3e:44:01

-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 20 no static-mac 00:00:da:3e:44:01
