VPLS Configuration Issue on ASR1006

Salongo

Hi Community..

 

I have a ASR1006 running the below versions:

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.13.05.S - Extended Support Release
Cisco IOS Software, ASR1000 Software (PPC_LINUX_IOSD-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.4(3)S5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

 

I need to create a full mesh MPLS L2-VPN (VPLS) so I add the below commands.

When adding the command in RED color it is not available using a vfi name although the global l2 vfi is defined.

When using the xconnect with peer IP address in GREEN color it is rejected with an error saying that we cannot have it on an interface with IP address. Even after removing the IP address from the port it is again rejected due to port is part of a VRF.

 

CONFIGURATIONS

 

ip vrf test-1
rd 65000:111111
route-target export 65000:111
route-target import 65000:111

 

l2 vfi d-test-1111 manual
vpn id 111121111
neighbor 172.16.0.1 encapsulation mpls
neighbor 172.16.0.2 encapsulation mpls
neighbor 172.16.0.3 encapsulation mpls
!

interface Te1/0/0.1111
description *** to internet ****
encapsulation dot1Q 1111
ip vrf forwarding test-1
ip address 10.17.30.252 255.255.255.248
no ip redirects
no ip proxy-arp
standby delay minimum 30 reload 120
standby version 2
standby 1542 ip 10.17.30.254
xconnect vfi d-test-1111    --------------> command not available using vfi name.

xconnect 172.16.0.1 ....     >>>>>>>>>>>>>> command rejected due to IP address then due to VRF

 

 

Is this a limitation by the platform or is there a way to achieve the full mesh VPLS network between 3 or more  PE devices using l2 vfi and xconnect on a VRF enabled port.

 

Any one can advise or suggest?

 

Thanks

Sal

The feature you may looking for is called Routed Pseudowire or Routed VPLS. 

According the documentation it is supported from IOS XE release 3.6

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/xe-16/mp-l2-vpns-xe-16-book/routed-pseudo-wire-and-routed-vpls.html

but according the documentation

to configure routing support for the pseudowire, configure an IP address and other Layer 3 features for the Layer 3 domain (VPN or global) in the virtual LAN (VLAN) interface configuration.

VLAN interface configuration means to use EVC infrastructure syntax and BDI interfaces, instead of L3 subinterfaces.
