To configure VPLS scalability on a 7705 SAR

Before you begin

The VPLS scalability can be configured only on 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18 nodes. This configuration applies to SAR nodes from Release 21.4 R2 onwards.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, choose Network→NE where NE is the object on which you need to configure VPLS scaling.


Right-click on the NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.


Click the System Forwarding Path Option tab and configure the Admin State parameter.

Note: By default, the Oper and Admin state parameters are set to Down. You must reboot the NE for the configured Admin State value to take effect. The Oper State parameter is updated when the NE is rebooted.

Once the Admin State is turned up, a total of 255 VPLS instances can be configured on the node.


Save your changes and close the form.
