Hi,
I'm trying to configure L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy. I've found some documentation in the link below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fspseudo.html
But my scenario is quite different from the one explained at this document. I have the following scenario:
So I need to create a L2VPN between CE-A and CE-B. I need to establish the main xconnect between PE-A1 and PE-B1, and the backup between PE-A2 and PE-B2, and I would like the CE to be able to switch between one circuit or the other automatically.
How can I do it? Anybody can help me, please??
Regards,
Cristina

Well as per SP Both circuits wll be up, and for CE you need to configure routing protocol to either load balance or failover.

What I need is a layer 2 vpn over the MPLS, so configuring layer 3 routing protocol is not suitable for me.
Maybe it is important to say that I am the SP, so I manage either PE and CE equipment.
Actually, I've read that QinQ can solve my problem, but I'm trying implementing QinQ in this way and it doesn't have the behaviour I expect:
CE-A:
interface GigabitEthernet1/19
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300-301
switchport mode trunk
end
interface GigabitEthernet1/20
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300-301
switchport mode trunk
end
PE-A1:
pseudowire-class TEST-L2VPN-REDUN1
encapsulation mpls
preferred-path interface Tunnel11 disable-fallback (Tunnel11 is a tunnel to PE-B1)
interface GigabitEthernet2/15

xconnect 4.4.4.4 102 pw-class TEST-L2VPN-REDUN2 (4.4.4.4 is PE-A2 routerID)
The result of applying this configuration is VC 101 established and with layer 2 connectivity ok, but VC 102 down and interface Gi2/15 of PE-A2 in err-disable state. The behaviour I expected is that STP protocol acts and put the the ports of the second layer 2 paths in blocking state.
Any idea??
Thanks.

Did you try to configure port-channel (From CE) with simple p2p xconnects(From SP) ? I am not sure but i remember i did some testings for Port-channel and it worked.
