Hi,
There is a need to extend L2 connections from an existing 7600 with LAN cards to a new ASR9001 and configure IP address on that connection.
To my understanding this looks something like "Pseudowire Headend".
ASR9k:
l2vpn
xconnect group test
p2p test
interface PW-Ether555
neighbor 192.168.0.1 pw-id 555
interface PW-Ether555
mtu 9216
vrf MGMT
ipv4 address 172.30.2.1 255.255.255.252
attach generic-interface-list test
generic-interface-list test
interface Bundle-Ether1
interface TenGigE0/0/0/1
7600:
interface TenGigabitEthernet3/4.555
encapsulation dot1Q 555
xconnect 192.168.0.2 555 encapsulation mpls
mtu 9202
The problem here is that ASR thinks that everything is fine:
Group test, XC test, state is up; Interworking none
AC: PW-Ether555, state is up
Type PW-Ether
Interface-list: test
Replicate status:
Te0/0/0/1: success
BE1: success
MTU 9202; interworking none
Internal label: 16020

PW: neighbor

, PW ID 555, state is up ( established )
PW class not set, XC ID 0xc0000001
Encapsulation MPLS, protocol LDP

However at the same time 7600 is unhappy:
BIP-STO1#sh xconnect int te3/4.555 detail
Legend: XC ST=Xconnect State S1=Segment1 State S2=Segment2 State
UP=Up DN=Down AD=Admin Down IA=Inactive
SB=Standby HS=Hot Standby RV=Recovering NH=No Hardware

DN ac Te3/4.555:555(Eth VLAN) UP mpls 192.168.0.2:555 DN
Interworking: ethernet Local VC label 45
Remote VC label 16021
What am I missing here? Is this even the right approach to reach the goal?
I succeeded in a similar task where there was HP 5800 at the other end of L2 circuit. I used bridge domain, VPLS and BVI interface in that case. Unfortunately VPLS is not an option for 7600 with LAN cards.
