To configure a VPLS site

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

2 

Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service tree, right-click on the Site icon and choose Create VPLS Site and select a site, or expand the Site icon and choose Properties. The VPLS Site (Create|Edit) form opens.

Note: The options to create either a B-Site or an I-Site are used when you are configuring a VPLS that utilizes Provider Backbone Bridging. See  Provider Backbone Bridging in VPLS in VPLS management overview for more information.

4 

Configure the required general parameters.

The following considerations apply:

  • To configure the Enable IP Interface Binding parameter on the 7450 ESS, you must enable mixed mode on the NE.

  • For 7210 SAS NEs that support RVPLS, the Enable IP Interface Binding parameter is configurable when the RVPLS parameter is selected. To bind the site to an IES, see To bind an IES L3 access interface to a VPLS site or VPLS I-site. To bind the site to a VPRN, see To bind a VPRN L3 access interface to a VPLS site or VPLS I-site.

  • Tunnel Fault Notification is configurable on sites where the device has ports configured in access or hybrid mode with QinQ encapsulation.

  • If you are configuring a tunnel facility MEP, Tunnel Fault Notification must be set to Accept, in order to accept the fault propagation from the tunnel facility MEP.

  • The Customer VID parameter is configurable only when the SAP Type parameter is set to dot1q-preserve.

  • You can configure a VLAN range SAP only when the SAP Type parameter is set to dot1q-range.

  • For MVPLS sites, the Allow L2Pt Xstp BPDU parameter is read-only.

  • The Enable VXLAN ECMP parameter can only be configured if all cards in the chassis are FP3 or higher.

5 

Configure the parameters in the GSMP panel.

6 

Configure the parameters in the ETree panel.

You must enable the Etree Enabled parameter before you can configure ETree tags at the SAP or SDP spoke levels.

7 

Configure the parameters in the Pim Snooping panel.

You must enable the PIM Snooping Enabled parameter before you can configure PIM snooping parameters on the Multicast tab and at the SAP and SDP spoke levels.

8 

Configure the parameters in the Routed VPLS panel.

9 

Configure the parameters in the Load Balancing Panel.

10 

Save the changes and close the forms.
