A-VPLS Physical Interface attachment

[rbncarvalho]

Hi guys, 

I'm about to deploy A-VPLS and it's the first time. I've working with VPLS (traditional Configuration) and with the A-VPLS configuration I'm getting a bit confused.

Let's say I have this configuration (same as config guide)

pseudowire-class cl1
 encap mpls
 load-balance flow
 flow-label enable   
!
port-channel load-balance src-mac 
!
interface virtual-ethernet 1
 transport vpls mesh
 neighbor 10.2.2.2 pw-class cl1 
 neighbor 10.3.3.3 pw-class cl1 
 switchport
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10, 20

How do I know which interface to patch the customer to, in chassis. 

The regular configuration we bind it to a BDI and maybe to a service instance, but in this case I don't see it.

I also don't have the platform to test it before deploying on the customer, so I'm trying to figure this out before that.

Thank you 

BR

Hi Ruben,

You just need to configure the access port with the proper VLAN and it will get trunked over A-VPLS.

Thank you, 

It makes sense though, but it seems strange that a mpls service is on the routing base, and not in an overlay like l3vpn.

Will try this tomorrow.
