H-VPLS deployment in Cisco IOS XR

[shovan.livebd]

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to simulate H-VPLS in Cisco IOS XR devices on GNS3. I used the following configuration to set up an access PW in a bridge domain in a N-PE device:

l2vpn
 bridge group test
  bridge-domain mc
   neighbor 10.0.0.1 pw-id 200
   !
   vfi mc1
    neighbor 10.0.0.6 pw-id 15
    !
   !
  !
 !
!

Now I am getting this error in line 4 when I try to commit: "Not supported: Platform does not support access PW"

Can anyone help in this matter?

Hello Shovan ,

Which version of XR software are you using ?

Please refer to the below post:

Secondly, Please note that VPLS or H-VPLS might not function on GNS3. It will only work on a real hardware, as XRv does not support data plane for VPLS or H-VPLS.

Also, for Access PW's, you need minimum of 4.2.3 or 4.3.1 release but as i mentioned above, you need to have real hardware to have this working.

Hope this answers.
