Hi,
I am new to VPLS. I am trying to test VPLS in the lab initially. My set up is extremely basic at present.
CE1 (3560CG-8) ---- PE1 (3850-12XS-S)----PE2 (3850-12XS-S)----CE2 (3560CG-8)
I have followed the instructions on the following Cisco configuration guide for the 3850 running Fuji 16.9.x 3850 VPLS configuration guide
I am banging my head against the wall trying to get it to work. The document is a little bit vague in parts so it would be great to have someone look over my config.
The two 3850's are directly connected (they were separated by a router but I have simplified it) and have IP connectivity.
MTU's are 9000. I can successfully "ping x.x.x.x size 9000 df-bit" between the PE routers.
The VC all looks good as below "show mpls l2 vc det" on switch PE1
Local interface: VFI 10 vfi up
Interworking type is Ethernet

The following is the relevant config on PE1. Interface T1/0/1 faces PE2 and interface T1/0/2 faces CE1. PE2 and CE2 are configured the same but obviously with different IP addresses.

The CE switch has an access port in VLAN 10 facing port T1/0/2 of the PE switch.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? Any pointers or suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Marty
