Configuring VPLS

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

The quick steps described in this section are based on the assumption that an IP/MPLS transport network 
is already in place (see 

 for more information).

VPLS is a distributed service that consists of 

The following steps provide a quick tutorial for configuring a VPLS service:

1 Create a customer account using the 

 command. For example:

-> configure service customer 10 create

2 Optional. Configure a description for the customer account using the 

 command. For example:

-> configure service customer 10 description “Customer A”

3 Optional. Configure contact information for the customer account using the 

 command. For example:

-> configure service customer 10 contact “Thomas Smith - Tech Support”

4 Optional. Configure a contact phone number for the customer account using the 

 command. For example:

-> configure service customer 10 phone “818-444-1234”

5 Create a Service Distribution Point (SDP) using the 

 command. For 

example:

-> configure service sdp 10 create

6 Optional. Configure a description for the SDP using the 

 command. 

For example:

-> configure service sdp 10 description “R3-to-R4”

7 Associate a SDP with a remote router using the 

 command and specify-

ing the system (Loopback0) IP address of the far-end router. For example:

-> configure service sdp 10 far-end 10.10.10.1

Note that once a far-end address is specified for the SDP, a service tunnel instance is created between the 
local and remote routers. A return SDP tunnel is required from the remote router to the local router, as SDP 
tunnels are uni-directional. 

8 By default, the administrative status of the SDP is disabled. To enable the SDP, use the 

 command with the no shutdown option. For example:

-> configure service sdp 10 no shutdown

9 If the SDP is going to use Label Switched Paths (LSPs) generated by the Label Distribution Protocol 
(LDP), enable LDP for the SDP using the 

 command and skip to Step 12. For 

example:

-> configure service sdp 10 ldp
