I have two CAT6506-Es, and want to extend Vlan 624 over MPLS from one to the other:
router1:
l2 vfi VPLS manual vpn id 624 neighbor 10.0.0.3 encapsulation mpls interface Vlan624 ip address 100.64.1.1 255.255.255.0 xconnect vfi VPLS
router 2:
l2 vfi VPLS manual vpn id 624 neighbor 10.0.0.4 encapsulation mpls interface Vlan624 ip address 100.64.1.2 255.255.255.0 xconnect vfi VPLS
xconnect is up and we are getting the lables across:
router1:
#sh xconnect all 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 XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2 ------+---------------------------------+--+---------------------------------+-- UP vfi VPLS UP mpls 10.0.0.3:624 UP UP ac Vl624:624(Eth VLAN) UP vfi VPLS UP #sh mpls l2transport vc detail Local interface: VFI VPLS VFI up Interworking type is Ethernet Destination address: 10.0.0.3, VC ID: 624, VC status: up Output interface: none, imposed label stack {} Preferred path: not configured Default path: active No adjacency Load Balance: none Flow Label: Disabled Create time: 00:57:15, last status change time: 00:00:04 Signaling protocol: LDP, peer 10.0.0.3:0 up Targeted Hello: 10.0.0.4(LDP Id) -> 10.0.0.3, LDP is UP Status TLV support (local/remote) : enabled/not supported LDP route watch : enabled Label/status state machine : established, LruRru Last local dataplane status rcvd: No fault Last local SSS circuit status rcvd: No fault Last local SSS circuit status sent: No fault Last local LDP TLV status sent: No fault Last remote LDP TLV status rcvd: Not sent Last remote LDP ADJ status rcvd: No fault MPLS VC labels: local 206, remote 97 Group ID: local 0, remote 0 MTU: local 1500, remote 1500 Remote interface description: Sequencing: receive disabled, send disabled Control Word: On (configured: autosense) VC statistics: transit packet totals: receive 0, send 0 transit byte totals: receive 0, send 0 transit packet drops: receive 0, send 0 #sh mpls forwarding-table labels 206 Local Outgoing Prefix Bytes Label Outgoing Next Hop Label Label or Tunnel Id Switched interface 206 No Label l2ckt(624) 0 none point2point
router 2:
#sh xconnect all 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 XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2 ------+---------------------------------+--+---------------------------------+-- UP vfi VPLS UP mpls 10.0.0.4:624 UP UP ac Vl624:624(Eth VLAN) UP vfi VPLS UP #sh mpls l2transport vc detail Local interface: VFI VPLS VFI up Interworking type is Ethernet Destination address: 10.0.0.4, VC ID: 624, VC status: up Output interface: none, imposed label stack {} Preferred path: not configured Default path: active No adjacency Load Balance: none Flow Label: Disabled Create time: 01:00:47, last status change time: 00:00:00 Signaling protocol: LDP, peer 10.0.0.4:0 up Targeted Hello: 10.0.0.3(LDP Id) -> 10.0.0.4, LDP is UP Status TLV support (local/remote) : enabled/not supported LDP route watch : enabled Label/status state machine : established, LruRru Last local dataplane status rcvd: No fault Last local SSS circuit status rcvd: No fault Last local SSS circuit status sent: No fault Last local LDP TLV status sent: No fault Last remote LDP TLV status rcvd: Not sent Last remote LDP ADJ status rcvd: No fault MPLS VC labels: local 97, remote 206 Group ID: local 0, remote 0 MTU: local 1500, remote 1500 Remote interface description: Sequencing: receive disabled, send disabled Control Word: On (configured: autosense) VC statistics: transit packet totals: receive 0, send 0 transit byte totals: receive 0, send 0 transit packet drops: receive 0, send 0 #sh mpls forwarding-table labels 97 Local Outgoing Prefix Bytes Label Outgoing Next Hop Label Label or Tunnel Id Switched interface 97 No Label l2ckt(624) 0 none point2point
And pseudowire pinging fine:
router1:
#ping mpls pseudowire 10.0.0.3 624 Sending 5, 100-byte MPLS Echos to 10.0.0.3, timeout is 2 seconds, send interval is 0 msec: Codes: '!' - success, 'Q' - request not sent, '.' - timeout, 'L' - labeled output interface, 'B' - unlabeled output interface, 'D' - DS Map mismatch, 'F' - no FEC mapping, 'f' - FEC mismatch, 'M' - malformed request, 'm' - unsupported tlvs, 'N' - no label entry, 'P' - no rx intf label prot, 'p' - premature termination of LSP, 'R' - transit router, 'I' - unknown upstream index, 'X' - unknown return code, 'x' - return code 0 Type escape sequence to abort. !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/4 ms
But I am unable to get packets across:
router1:
#ping 100.64.1.2 source 100.64.1.1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 100.64.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds: Packet sent with a source address of 100.64.1.1 ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) #sh arp | i 100.64.1.2 Internet 100.64.1.2 0 Incomplete ARPA
Also - there is a bunch of dynamically learned MAC addresses in vlan 624 on router 1 - I do not see these in the mac address table of router 2.
What is concerning here is the
imposed label stack {}
there is no P router in-between these two routers, so the label get's popped for the neighbour:
#sh mpls forwarding-table 10.0.0.3 Local Outgoing Prefix Bytes Label Outgoing Next Hop Label Label or Tunnel Id Switched interface 33 Pop Label 10.0.0.3/32 0 Vl113 172.16.0.117
but I expected to see at least the VC ID label to be imposed...
Running 12.2(33)SXI5 on both. Am I missing something?

Hi Dave,
Can you please upload the output of "show module" from 6500-E?
Also please go through link below.

Thank you for the info and prompt response Bheem
I don't have a SUP2T, nor do I have SIPs or ES+:

So I guess that means hardware incompatibility.
Are there any suggestions to achieve extending the vlan by some means (other than dot1Q) that this hardware would support? GRE perhaps?

Yes, vpls is supported when we have core facing line cards as SIP or ES+. You can use port/vlan based xconnect to extend the vlans and it doesn't require those WAN cards.
