VPLS : VC UP but no data -- ASR9k & 7600 ES+

Dears

Would like your assistance please regarding below VPLS setup

VPLS is between ASR9k & 7600 ES+ card. VC is up but CEs are not able to ping each others

 

Lab Topology

CE <> Te0/1/0/3.55 ASR9K < -- mpls --> 7600 Gi4/2 <> CE

Any ideas ?

Note

ASR9k & 7600 are directly connected via same ES+ card

hi sherif, based on these counters it looks like to me that the AC is not receiving any packets on the EFP...

and that can only mean one thing, are we sending packets with the right vlan encapsulation from the CE towards the asr9k?

regards

xander

Hi Xander

Nice catch .. Will change EFP match to any to see If this would makes an effect or not

Will do the test by tom and let you know

Many thanks

Hi Xander

First many thanks for your assistance

Have recheked CEs config and they are straight forward. [trunk interface allowing all vlans]

However I have added CE3/PE3 to topolgoy and results were somehow interesting

CE1(ME3800) -- PE1 (ASR9K)  --- PE2 (7600) -- PE3 (7600) -- CE3 (ME3800)

                                                                |

                                                        CE2(ME3800)

Now both CE1/CE2 can ping CE3 but still no communication between CE1 & CE2

Dont know what could be the difference between CE2 & CE3. Only thing that comes to my mind is that with CE2, PE2 is directly connected to PE1. Dont know if this could be a problem or not as in this case MPLS label should be pop but still there is VC label

Another thing I removed "rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric" from all PEs cause with this command CE3 (only) was receiving BPDU with different VLAN !      [dont know if this behavior is normal or not]

Now what do you think ?  :]

Many Thanks

aha, the bpdu problem is understandable:

when the 9k is not configured for pvst or mstp it will forward all bpdus transparently depending ony our EFP definitions.

I suspect you are running PVST as the bpdus are vlan encapped.

now if there is an incoming bpdu, we pop the tag and then remote we're slapping a vlan back on again, that can cause that problem.

in this design without loops you would want to disable PVST or STP in general to prevent these issues from happening.

based on the issue with the spanning tree, I am starting to believe that CE2 might have its port blocked or something.

Things to verify/check are:

- disabling spanning tree

- ensuring ports are in forwarding state

- are all AC's up and running

- PW state up and running

- split horizon issues between CE2/CE1?

- arp resolution

- vlan consistency

hopefully one of these on the list helps identifying the origin of the forwarding issue.

Hi Xander
Perfect analysis .. Will try above and let you know

Million thanks :)

Hi Xander

Good news .. It worked now :]

Figured out there was no label assigned with PE2 (7600) router .. When I removed config and inserted again all CEs were pingable

PE2#show mpls l2 vc 55 detail

  Interworking type is Ethernet

  Destination address: 19.19.19.19, VC ID: 55, VC status: up

Many thanks for your assistance and help

hi sherif, nice work and good find, this indeed will help having a label assigned
