Havent tried, but i guess you can use EEM to activate a new VFI on the hub router when it detects a link failure

when configured vpls in a hub and spoke we need to consider on split-horizon... and since it is L2 then to avoid looping spanning tree must be configured.. and does it supports backup peer command? I can't test  it out on my live network. need to know how to acheive redundancy.. is it through spanning tree.. ? if so.. when the active goes down.. the stand by will take some time to come up.. and then there will be a downtime..

is this config can be used as a guide for my senario?
