Interaction With Other Features

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

page 11-11

This section contains important information about MPLS-based VPLS interaction with other OmniSwitch 
features and interoperability with the Alcatel-Lucent SR Series. Refer to the specific chapter for each 
feature to get more detailed information about how to configure and use the feature.

Switch ports and link aggregates are configured as VPLS service access ports to handle customer traffic 
ingressing on the provider edge. All other ports (those not configured as access ports) are considered 
VPLS network ports by default when MPLS/VPLS is enabled for the switch. 

Access ports and networks ports differ in their level of support for other switch applications, as shown in 
the following table:

By default, Layer 2 control frames are processed as follows: 

How control frames are handled is configurable using Layer 2 port profiles. See 

 for more information.

The LDP-based MPLS implementation described in the 

 provides the 

core MPLS network required to provision Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. VPLS is the only such 
VPN supported to run over the OmniSwitch MPLS network at this time.
