VPLS problem

mrfaghani62

Hi dear all

Currently we are facing an issue in a VPLS network and I will appreciate your help if you know the solution, thanks in advance.

We have the following topology :

vpls.png

All routers (PA,PB,PC) have Sup32-8GE-3B without  any extra line cards . We configure VPLS on all routers. All routers  have the following running configuration . Also verifications show that  everything is ok .
1.    Is it possible to configure VPLS on Sup32-GE-3B without any extra line cards?
2.    Why configuration has been done but :
         a.    There is not communication between 3 Cust-A sites (L2 connectivity).
         b.    The following error message displayed when add “IP MPLS” command for uplinks.
MPLS CONFIG on LAN NOT RECOMMENDED: Cross-connect is currently  configured on interface vlans   and WAN interfaces are facing the MPLS  core. By configuring MPLS on LAN interfaces, AToM on vlan interfaces may  be non functional.

Hi,

If you need to run VPLS then you core facing card need to do imposition/disposition. I doubt if the sup32 gig ports can do so. For VPLS to work on 7600 any one of following card is needed.

PWAN2 (OSM)

ES+ (ES40)

ES20

SIP-400

SIP-600

If you have say a lan card like 6748 or 6724 towards core and try to bring up VPLS, it will allow you to provision but VC might not come up. The other message you are getting is normal when you try to enable mpls on a lan card. I think this can be safely ignored.

Thanks,

Madhu
