Trying to get BVI working on a pair of Cisco NCS 5500 running version 7.0.1 but cannot ping the other end. There is a single link between the routers in a bundle. I can ping the far-end router using the directly-assigned IP on the BE, but cannot ping the far-end BVI IP. Each router can ping it's own BVI. Output packets are not incrementing on the BE sub-int that is part of the bridge-group.
I am following this guide (which has some typos and the output examples don't match the configuration section):
Section: Configure VRRP over BVI
Here is config for NCS01:
! hw-module vrrpscale enable ! # port to firewall interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10 description firewall01 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 ! # bundle between NCS interface Bundle-Ether10 description NCS-5501-01.lab:BE10 ipv4 address 192.168.1.7 255.255.255.254 ! interface Bundle-Ether10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 ! # BVI interface interface BVI9 ipv4 address 10.20.30.2 255.255.255.0 ! l2vpn bridge group 9 bridge-domain 9 interface Bundle-Ether10.9 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.9 ! routed interface BVI9 ! ! ! !
Here is config for NCS02:
! hw-module vrrpscale enable ! # port to firewall interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10 description firewall02 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 ! # bundle between NCS interface Bundle-Ether10 description NCS-5501-02.lab:BE10 ipv4 address 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.254 ! interface Bundle-Ether10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 ! # bvi interface BVI9 ipv4 address 10.20.30.3 255.255.255.0 ! l2vpn bridge group 9 bridge-domain 9 interface Bundle-Ether10.9 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.9 ! routed interface BVI9 ! ! ! !
Here is show output from NCS01:

One of the issues with the configuration guide is their show output references a bundle sub-int with a VLAN. But their configurations don't reflect using a bundle at all, or configuring VLAN encap.

I got this working. The catch is that BVI can't handle VLAN tags, and I don't see a way to strip them inside the bridge group configuration. So you have to pop the VLAN tag on every sub-interface that is part of the BVI.
To solve you can add this command to every sub-interface that is part of the BVI:
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
Amendment to the previous configuration:
# customer-facing port interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric ! # bundle between NCS interface Bundle-Ether10.9 l2transport encapsulation dot1q 9 rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric !
