Dear all,   I am looking at the following design challenge: CE1-SWITCH-PE1-(VPLS cloud)-PE2-CE2   CE1 to switch is a trunk with 5 different VLANs(12, 13, 14, 15, 16), switch encapsulates the 5 vlans using 802.1ad into vlan 100. PE(XR based), matches on 802.1ad vlan 100, and then add S-TAG 20.   What can I do on PE2(XR) to be able to present CE2 with a trunk where I can match on CE1's 5 original VLANs ? Since I can match with outer and inner vlans, I cannot use encapsulation 20 12 for example, as the 2nd tag is 802.1ad vlan 100. My aim is to be able to match upper/outer tag (S-TAG) and customer VLANs (3rd inner) bypassing 2nd tag :-)   Any suggestions ? ... View more

Dear all, Is there an equivalent to "bgp bestpath igp-metric ignore" in XR ? Else how can one deploy shadow reflector design in XR without this command? TIA ... View more

Dear all, I receive ::/0 from our transit peer, and announce it to a reflector. Apart from next hep set  to self, nothing else is changed. On the reflector, I am not receiving prefix ::/0, but ::/8 instead, and pointing at next hop of peering node facing transit router. ::/8 is not even received on the peering node facing transit. Config wise, I peer on IPv6 subnet facing transit, then 6PE towards the backbone, therefore sending labels under address family ipv6. I am unable to replicate this in Lab environment.  On reflector: sh bgp ipv6 unicast ::/0 BGP routing table entry for ::/8 , version 76796277 Paths: (3 available, best #2, table default) Has anyone seen similar issue ?
