Local connect on ASR920

[cedrictabary1]

I am trying to do local connect on an ASR920 running latest IOS

interface Gi0/0/20
 service instance 10 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 10
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
interface Gi0/0/21
 service instance 20 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 20
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
connect TEST Gi0/0/20 10 Gi0/0/21 20
One of the vlan interfaces is unable to perform vlan rewrite
%CONN: invalid segment 1
%CONN: Invalid Command

I am also trying to use the l2vpn syntax, configuration is set but with an error log and no traffic flows

l2vpn xconnect context TEST
 member Gi0/0/20 service-instance 10
 member Gi0/0/21 service-instance 20
%FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: SIP0: fman_fp_image:  atom_xconnect xid 0x10, ifh 16, dirty 0x1, state 0x2 download to CPP failed

I also tried simple connect of physical interfaces :

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/9
 no ip address
 negotiation auto
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/10
 no ip address
 negotiation auto
connect TEST GigabitEthernet0/0/9 GigabitEthernet0/0/10
%FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F0: fman_fp_image:  atom_xconnect xid 0x10, ifh 16, dirty 0x1, state 0x2 download to CPP failed

So I wonder if ASR920 does not support local connect or if I am doing something wrong ?

Hello,

What is the IOS XE version that you are using?

Also, could you please share the output of show platform from the router.

Hello,

I think you are not meeting the minimum requirements to run local connect on ASR920. the evc local connect support is supposed to be from 15.6(2)S release which i dont think is the case here.

Also, i think you will need ASR920 with RSP2. Could you please verify the show inventory to see if you are having RSP2.

Thanks

Here is the show inventory with serial numbers stripped.

i guess i mis-interpreted. RSP2 is seperate. ASR920 has a diff architecture than ASR903.

[Vinit Jain]

I think the support for local connect on ASR920 starts with 15.6(2)S release. thus it should not work before that release.

Thanks,

Vinit

Hello Vinit,

latest download is asr920-universalk9_npe.03.16.00.S.155-3.S-ext.bin

15.6(2)S is not yet available ?

Hello Cédric

yes, thats what i understood based on my research internally.

I will check further and let you know if its supported or not.

Thanks

Vinit

Hello Cédric

It is confirmed that evc local connect will be supported from XE release 3.18 . the version you are running is XE 3.16. Since 3.18 is not released yet, you will have to wait for sometime to use this feature.

Thanks

Hello Cédric

Could you please share the requirements for doing a local connect on ASR920.

i can check if we can find an alternate solution to your problem.

Thanks

Vinit

I have several needs :

- connect two physical ports (as a media converter) for a customer

- connect physical port to service instance on another port

- connect a service instance to another service instance (vlan rewrite) between two ports or same port.

I can do all of this with bridge-domains but this is not completely transparent : uses mac addess tcam, needs l2protocol tunnel.

Thank you

Cédric
