Various VPLS Mode

[devang_etcom]

Hi,

I would like to know various types or mode of VPLS.

As per Cisco standerds its: Port mode and VLAN mode.

Now I would like to know if I can use the PE interface connected to CE as a trunk interface and carry all customer VLAN via that port? Instread of creating multiple subninterfaces of the interface and put them on different instances or VPLS instances?

Is there any good document, site or blog that shows various VPLS deployment mode along with VPLS redundancy scenarios?

Thanks,

Devang

Hi Devang,

not sure if you are refrring to vc-types instead.

However you can use a trunk port for the PE to CE AC

have a look at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/install_config/ES40_config_guide/es40_chap6.html#wp1460517

Or you can explore the EVC world (if you have the right hw) and have a more flexible approach.
