Hi,
What is the difference between the 2 commands given in the subject line..?
I guess both are basically used for binding the attachment circuits to VC in a VPWS scenario..?
Thanks in advance..

Hello,
afaik they both do pretty much the same, except "xconnect ..." is used in FR switching only. This follows the usual FR switching syntax, where you can implement local switching, FRoMPLS or FRoL2TPv3 with the same command, but different options.
"mpls l2transport" is used for EoMPLS, PPPoMPLS and the like.
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Martin,
Thanks for your response.But I am afraid I should disagree with you that xconnect is used in FR switching only.I have seen in cisco documents xconnect is used in EoMPLS..
Thanks

Both commands perform the same function. However, the 'xconnect encapsulation mpls' command has replaced the now deprecated 'mpls l2transport route' command used to configure EoMPLS.
Here's the Cisco document that states this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1829/products_feature_guide09186a008021bbb4.html
(it's under the section: Prerequisites for Transparent Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling and PDU Filtering)
Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.
