Binding Services to SDPs
Once the Service Distribution Points (SDPs) and VPLS services are configured, the next step is to bind the
SDPs to VPLS services as mesh SDPs. A mesh-SDP binding with a service is logically treated as a single
bridge port for flooded traffic, where flooded traffic received on any mesh SDP for the service is repli-
cated to other ports and not transmitted on any mesh SDPs

Binding a service (VPLS instance) to an SDP is required to set up a Virtual Circuit (VC)/Pseudo Wire
(PW) to the far end of the MPLS tunnel. If an SDP is not explicitly bound to a service, no far-end routers
can participate in the service.
(PW) to the far end of the MPLS tunnel. If an SDP is not explicitly bound to a service, no far-end routers
can participate in the service.
To configure a mesh-SDP binding, use the
command with the create
parameter. This command requires an existing VPLS service ID and an existing SDP ID. For example, the
following command binds SDP 10 as a mesh binding to VPLS service 100:
following command binds SDP 10 as a mesh binding to VPLS service 100:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 10 create
By default, the VC type for the mesh-SDP binding is set to Ethernet. Use the configure service vpls
mesh-sdp command with the vc-type option to change the VC type to VLAN. For example:
mesh-sdp command with the vc-type option to change the VC type to VLAN. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 10 vc-type vlan
Note that when configuring services between an OmniSwitch router and an SR Series router, the VC type
is dependent upon the encapsulation type used on the access ports. For example, if the ports use null
encapsualtion, set the VC type to Ethernet; if the ports use dot1q encapsulation, set the VC type to VLAN.

Configure Static MAC Addresses for SDP Bindings
Configuring a static MAC address entry for a mesh-SDP binding is supported, but not required. Static
MACs associated with an SDP 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.
MACs associated with an SDP 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.
When a static MAC address is configured, a permanent MAC address entry is created in the VPLS
forwarding database (FDB) that is associated with the SDP ID for this binding. A MAC address can partic-
ipate in only one static MAC address entry (local or remote) for a specific VPLS.

To configure a static MAC address for a mesh-SDP binding, use the
command. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp 10 static-mac 00:2a:95:01:3e:32
Note that static MAC addresses configured on one edge device are not propagated to other edge devices
associated with the same VPLS instance. Each edge device has an independent forwarding database for the
associated VPLS.

associated VPLS.
To delete a static MAC address entry for the mesh-SDP binding, use the no form of the configure service
vpls mesh-sdp static-mac command. For example:
vpls mesh-sdp static-mac command. For example:
-> configure service vpls 100 mesh-sdp no static-mac 00:2a:95:01:3e:32
Static MAC addresses for mesh-SDP and SAP bindings are also configurable using OmniSwitch Source
