To implement Point to Point Layer 2 Services, you should understand these concepts:
Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) emulates the behavior of a LAN across an L2 switched, IP or MPLS-enabled IP network, allowing Ethernet devices to communicate with each other as they would when connected to a common LAN segment. Point-to-point L2 connections are vital when creating L2VPNs.
As Internet service providers (ISPs) look to replace their Frame Relay or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) infrastructures with an IP infrastructure, there is a need to provide standard methods of using an L2 switched, IP or MPLS-enabled IP infrastructure. These methods provide a serviceable L2 interface to customers; specifically, to provide virtual circuits between pairs of customer sites.
Building a L2VPN system requires coordination between the ISP and the customer. The ISP provides L2 connectivity; the customer builds a network using data link resources obtained from the ISP. In an L2VPN service, the ISP does not require information about a the customer's network topology, policies, routing information, point-to-point links, or network point-to-point links from other ISPs.
The ISP requires provider edge (PE) routers with these capabilities:
Encapsulation of L2 protocol data units (PDU) into Layer 3 (L3) packets.
Interconnection of any-to-any L2 transports.
Emulation of L2 quality-of-service (QoS) over a packet switch network.
Ease of configuration of the L2 service.
Support for different types of tunneling mechanisms (MPLS, L2TPv3, IPSec, GRE, and others).
L2VPN process databases include all information related to circuits and their connections.
Local switching allows you to switch L2 data between two interfaces of the same type, (for example, Ethernet to Ethernet) and on the same router. The interfaces can be on the same line card, or on two different line cards. During these types of switching, Layer 2 address is used instead of the Layer 3 address. A local switching connection switches L2 traffic from one attachment circuit (AC) to the other. The two ports configured in a local switching connection are ACs with respect to that local connection. A local switching connection works like a bridge domain that has only two bridge ports; traffic enters one port of the local connection and leaves the other. However, because there is no bridging involved in a local connection, there is neither MAC learning nor flooding. Also, the ACs in a local connection are not in the UP state if the interface state is DOWN. (This behavior is also different when compared to that of a bridge domain.)
Local switching ACs utilize a full variety of L2 interfaces, including L2 trunk (main) interfaces, bundle interfaces, and EFPs.
Additionally, same-port local switching allows you to switch Layer 2 data between two circuits on the same interface.
ATMoMPLS is a type of Layer 2 point-to-point connection over an MPLS core.
To implement the ATMoMPLS feature, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router plays the role of provider edge (PE) router at the edge of a provider network in which customer edge (CE) devices are connected to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.
Virtual Circuit Connection Verification (VCCV) is an L2VPN Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature that allows network operators to run IP-based provider edge-to-provider edge (PE-to-PE) keepalive protocol across a specified pseudowire to ensure that the pseudowire data path forwarding does not contain any faults. The disposition PE receives VCCV packets on a control channel, which is associated with the specified pseudowire. The control channel type and connectivity verification type, which are used for VCCV, are negotiated when the pseudowire is established between the PEs for each direction.
Two types of packets can arrive at the disposition egress:
Type 1—Specifies normal Ethernet-over-MPLS (EoMPLS) data packets.
Type 2—Specifies VCCV packets.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports Label Switched Path (LSP) VCCV Type 1, which uses an inband control word if enabled during signaling. The VCCV echo reply is sent as IPv4 that is the reply mode in IPv4. The reply is forwarded as IP, MPLS, or a combination of both.
VCCV pings counters that are counted in MPLS forwarding on the egress side. However, on the ingress side, they are sourced by the route processor and do not count as MPLS forwarding counters.
Ethernet-over-MPLS (EoMPLS) provides a tunneling mechanism for Ethernet traffic through an MPLS-enabled L3 core and encapsulates Ethernet protocol data units (PDUs) inside MPLS packets (using label stacking) to forward them across the MPLS network.
EoMPLS features are described in these subsections:
In Ethernet port mode, both ends of a pseudowire are connected to Ethernet ports. In this mode, the port is tunneled over the pseudowire or, using local switching (also known as an attachment circuit-to-attachment circuit cross-connect) switches packets or frames from one attachment circuit (AC) to another AC attached to the same PE node.
The following figure provides an example of Ethernet port mode.
In VLAN mode, each VLAN on a customer-end to provider-end link can be configured as a separate L2VPN connection using virtual connection (VC) type 4 or VC type 5. VC type 5 is the default mode.
As illustrated in the following figure, the Ethernet PE associates an internal VLAN-tag to the Ethernet port for switching the traffic internally from the ingress port to the pseudowire; however, before moving traffic into the pseudowire, it removes the internal VLAN tag.
At the egress VLAN PE, the PE associates a VLAN tag to the frames coming off of the pseudowire and after switching the traffic internally, it sends out the traffic on an Ethernet trunk port.
Note |
Because the port is in trunk mode, the VLAN PE doesn't remove the VLAN tag and forwards the frames through the port with the added tag. |
Inter-AS is a peer-to-peer type model that allows extension of VPNs through multiple provider or multi-domain networks. This lets service providers peer up with one another to offer end-to-end VPN connectivity over extended geographical locations.
EoMPLS support can assume a single AS topology where the pseudowire connecting the PE routers at the two ends of the point-to-point EoMPLS cross-connects resides in the same autonomous system; or multiple AS topologies in which PE routers can reside on two different ASs using iBGP and eBGP peering.
The following figure illustrates MPLS over Inter-AS with a basic double AS topology with iBGP/LDP in each AS.
QinQ is an extension of 802.1Q for specifying multiple 802.1Q tags (IEEE 802.1QinQ VLAN Tag stacking). Layer 3 VPN service termination and L2VPN service transport are enabled over QinQ sub-interfaces.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers implement the Layer 2 tunneling or Layer 3 forwarding depending on the subinterface configuration at provider edge routers. This function only supports up to two QinQ tags on the SPA and fixed PLIM:
Layer 2 QinQ VLANs in L2VPN attachment circuit: QinQ L2VPN attachment circuits are configured under the Layer 2 transport subinterfaces for point-to-point EoMPLS based cross-connects using both virtual circuit type 4 and type 5 pseudowires and point-to-point local-switching-based cross-connects including full interworking support of QinQ with 802.1q VLANs and port mode.
Layer 3 QinQ VLANs: Used as a Layer 3 termination point, both VLANs are removed at the ingress provider edge and added back at the remote provider edge as the frame is forwarded.
Layer 3 services over QinQ include:
IPv4 unicast and multicast
IPv6 unicast and multicast
MPLS
Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) for use by Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) Protocol
In QinQ mode, each CE VLAN is carried into an SP VLAN. QinQ mode should use VC type 5, but VC type 4 is also supported. On each Ethernet PE, you must configure both the inner (CE VLAN) and outer (SP VLAN).
The following figure illustrates QinQ using VC type 4.
In the QinAny mode, the service provider VLAN tag is configured on both the ingress and the egress nodes of the provider edge VLAN. QinAny mode is similar to QinQ mode using a Type 5 VC, except that the customer edge VLAN tag is carried in the packet over the pseudowire, as the customer edge VLAN tag is unknown.
Using L2VPN technology, you can assign a quality of service (QoS) level to both Port and VLAN modes of operation.
L2VPN technology requires that QoS functionality on PE routers be strictly L2-payload-based on the edge-facing interfaces (also know as attachment circuits). The following figure illustrates L2 and L3 QoS service policies in a typical L2VPN network.
The following figure shows four packet processing paths within a provider edge device where a QoS service policy can be attached. In an L2VPN network, packets are received and transmitted on the edge-facing interfaces as L2 packets and transported on the core-facing interfaces as MPLS (EoMPLS).
L2VPN uses control planes in both route processors and line cards, as well as forwarding plane elements in the line cards.
The availability of L2VPN meets these requirements:
A control plane failure in either the route processor or the line card will not affect the circuit forwarding path.
The router processor control plane supports failover without affecting the line card control and forwarding planes.
L2VPN integrates with existing Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) graceful restart mechanism.
Preferred tunnel path functionality lets you map pseudowires to specific traffic-engineering tunnels. Attachment circuits are cross-connected to specific MPLS traffic engineering tunnel interfaces instead of remote PE router IP addresses (reachable using IGP or LDP). Using preferred tunnel path, it is always assumed that the traffic engineering tunnel that transports the L2 traffic runs between the two PE routers (that is, its head starts at the imposition PE router and its tail terminates on the disposition PE router).
Note |
|
Pseudowires transport Layer 2 protocol data units (PDUs) across a public switched network (PSN). A multisegment pseudowire is a static or dynamically configured set of two or more contiguous pseudowire segments. These segments act as a single pseudowire, allowing you to:
Manage the end-to-end service by separating administrative or provisioning domains.
Keep IP addresses of provider edge (PE) nodes private across interautonomous system (inter-AS) boundaries. Use IP address of autonomous system boundary routers (ASBRs) and treat them as pseudowire aggregation routers. The ASBRs join the pseudowires of the two domains.
A multisegment pseudowire can span either an inter-AS boundary or two multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks.
A pseudowire is a tunnel between two PE nodes. There are two types of PE nodes:
A Switching PE (S-PE) node
Terminates PSN tunnels of the preceding and succeeding pseudowire segments in a multisegment pseudowire.
Switches control and data planes of the preceding and succeeding pseudowire segments of the multisegment pseudowire.
A Terminating PE (T-PE) node
Located at both the first and last segments of a multisegment pseudowire.
Where customer-facing attachment circuits (ACs) are bound to a pseudowire forwarder.
Note |
Every end of a multisegment pseudowire must terminate at a T-PE. |
A multisegment pseudowire is used in two general cases when:
It is not possible to establish a PW control channel between the source and destination PE nodes.
For the PW control channel to be established, the remote PE node must be accessible. Sometimes, the local PE node may not be able to access the remote node due to topology, operational, or security constraints.
A multisegment pseudowire dynamically builds two discrete pseudowire segments and performs a pseudowire switching to establish a PW control channel between the source and destination PE nodes.
Pseudowire Edge To Edge Emulation (PWE3) signaling and encapsulation protocols are different.
The PE nodes are connected to networks employing different PW signaling and encapsulation protocols. Sometimes, it is not possible to use a single segment PW.
A multisegment pseudowire, with the appropriate interworking performed at the PW switching points, enables PW connectivity between the PE nodes in the network.
Pseudowire redundancy allows you to configure your network to detect a failure in the network and reroute the Layer 2 service to another endpoint that can continue to provide service. This feature provides the ability to recover from a failure of either the remote provider edge (PE) router or the link between the PE and customer edge (CE) routers.
L2VPNs can provide pseudowire resiliency through their routing protocols. When connectivity between end-to-end PE routers fails, an alternative path to the directed LDP session and the user data takes over. However, there are some parts of the network in which this rerouting mechanism does not protect against interruptions in service.
Pseudowire redundancy enables you to set up backup pseudowires. You can configure the network with redundant pseudowires and redundant network elements.
Prior to the failure of the primary pseudowire, the ability to switch traffic to the backup pseudowire is used to handle a planned pseudowire outage, such as router maintenance.
Note |
Pseudowire redundancy is provided only for point-to-point Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) pseudowires. |
To maximize networks while maintaining redundancy typically requires traffic load balancing over multiple links. To achieve better and more uniformed distribution, load balancing on the traffic flows that are part of the provisioned pipes is desirable. Load balancing can be flow based according to the IP addresses, Mac addresses, or a combination of those. Load balancing can be flow based according to source or destination IP addresses, or source or destination MAC addresses. Traffic falls back to default flow based MAC addresses if the IP header cannot proceed or IPv6 is be flow based.
This feature applies to pseudowires under L2VPN; this includes VPWS and VPLS.
Note |
Enabling virtual circuit (VC) label based load balancing for a pseudowire class overrides global flow based load balancing under L2VPN. |
If the frame is IP-based, the load-balancing flow “src-dst-ip” configuration causes the Layer 2 interfaces to use the IP header for flow balancing hash calculation. If the frame is not IP-based, the MAC header is used for the hash calculation. In previous releases, for an MPLS header between the MAC and IP headers, the code would use the MAC header for the flow balancing hash.
From Release 6.4.1 onwards, the code analyzes the MPLS header, and if an IP header is available, it uses that for hash calculation.
If the MPLS label stack is more than four labels deep, the code stops looking for an IP header and reverts to the MAC header hash calculation.
When L2VPN flow-based src-dst-ip load-balancing is configured, and if a payload with encapsulated GTP is used, the GTP ID is considered for load-balancing criteria. Starting from Release 6.5.1, you do not have to configure the cef load-balancing command to use GTP ID as a criteria for load-balancing for L2VPN scenarios. However, you must explicitly configure CEF load-balancing for Layer 3 scenarios.
When pseudowires (PWs) are established, each PW is assigned a group ID that is common for all PWs created on the same physical port. When a physical port becomes non-functional or disabled, Automatic Protection Switching (APS) signals the peer router to get activated and L2VPN sends a single message to advertise the status change of all PWs that have the Group ID associated with the physical port. A single L2VPN signal thus avoids a lot of processing and loss in reactivity.
For CEM interfaces, various levels of configuration are permitted for the parent controllers, such as T1 and T3, framed or unframed. To achieve best grouping, the physical controller handle is used as the group ID.
Note |
Pseudowire grouping is disabled by default. |

An Ethernet Wire Service is a service that emulates a point-to-point Ethernet segment. This is similar to Ethernet private line (EPL), a Layer 1 point-to-point service, except the provider edge operates at Layer 2 and typically runs over a Layer 2 network. The EWS encapsulates all frames that are received on a particular UNI and transports these frames to a single-egress UNI without reference to the contents contained within the frame. The operation of this service means that an EWS can be used with VLAN-tagged frames. The VLAN tags are transparent to the EWS (bridge protocol data units [BPDUs])—with some exceptions. These exceptions include IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.2ad, and IEEE 802.3x, because these frames have local significance and it benefits both the customer and the Service Provider to terminate them locally.
Since the service provider simply accepts frames on an interface and transmits these without reference to the actual frame (other than verifying that the format and length are legal for the particular interface) the EWS is indifferent to VLAN tags that may be present within the customer Ethernet frames.
EWS subscribes to the concept of all-to-one bundling. That is, an EWS maps a port on one end to a point-to-point circuit and to a port on another end. EWS is a port-to-port service. Therefore, if a customer needs to connect a switch or router to n switches or routers it will need n ports and n pseudowires or logical circuits.
One important point to consider is that, although the EWS broadly emulates an Ethernet Layer 1 connection, the service is provided across a shared infrastructure, and therefore it is unlikely that the full interface bandwidth will be, or needs to be, available at all times. EWS will typically be a sub-line rate service, where many users share a circuit somewhere in their transmission path. As a result, the cost will most likely be less than that of EPL. Unlike a Layer 1 EPL, the SP will need to implement QoS and traffic engineering to meet the specific objectives of a particular contract. However, if the customer's application requires a true wire rate transparent service, then an EPL service—delivered using optical transmission devices such as DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing), CDWM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing), or SONET/SDH—should be considered.
IGMP snooping provides a way to constrain multicast traffic at Layer 2. By snooping the IGMP membership reports sent by hosts in the bridge domain, the IGMP snooping application can set up Layer 2 multicast forwarding tables to deliver traffic only to ports with at least one interested member, significantly reducing the volume of multicast traffic.
Configured at Layer 3, IGMP provides a means for hosts in an IPv4 multicast network to indicate which multicast traffic they are interested in and for routers to control and limit the flow of multicast traffic in the network (at Layer 3).
IGMP snooping uses the information in IGMP membership report messages to build corresponding information in the forwarding tables to restrict IP multicast traffic at Layer 2. The forwarding table entries are in the form <Route, OIF List>, where:
Route is a <*, G> route or <S, G> route.
OIF List comprises all bridge ports that have sent IGMP membership reports for the specified route plus all Multicast Router (mrouter) ports in the bridge domain.
The IGMP snooping feature can provide these benefits to a multicast network:
Basic IGMP snooping reduces bandwidth consumption by reducing multicast traffic that would otherwise flood an entire VPLS bridge domain.
With optional configuration options, IGMP snooping can provide security between bridge domains by filtering the IGMP reports received from hosts on one bridge port and preventing leakage towards the hosts on other bridge ports.
With optional configuration options, IGMP snooping can reduce the traffic impact on upstream IP multicast routers by suppressing IGMP membership reports (IGMPv2) or by acting as an IGMP proxy reporter (IGMPv3) to the upstream IP multicast router.
Refer to the Implementing Layer 2 Multicast with IGMP Snooping module in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Multicast Configuration Guide for information on configuring IGMP snooping.
The applicable IGMP snooping commands are described in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Multicast Command Reference.
Customer deployments require a solution to support AToM with disparate transport at network ends. This solution must have the capability to translate transport on one customer edge (CE) device to another transport, for example, Frame relay to Ethernet. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series SPA Interface Processor-700 and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet line cards enable the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers to support multiple legacy services.
IP Interworking is a solution for transporting Layer 2 traffic over an IP/MPLS backbone. It accommodates many types of Layer 2 frames such as Ethernet and Frame Relay using AToM tunnels. It encapsulates packets at the provider edge (PE) router, transports them over the backbone to the PE router on the other side of the cloud, removes the encapsulation, and transports them to the destination. The transport layer can be Ethernet on one end and Frame relay on the other end. IP interworking occurs between disparate endpoints of the AToM tunnels.
Note |
Only routed interworking is supported between Ethernet and Frame Relay based networks for MPLS and Local-connect scenarios. |
The following figure shows the interoperability between an Ethernet attachment VC and a Frame Relay attachment VC.
An attachment circuit (AC) is a physical or logical port or circuit that connects a CE device to a PE device. A pseudowire (PW) is a bidirectional virtual connection (VC) connecting two ACs. In an MPLS network, PWs are carried inside an LSP tunnel. The core facing line card on the PE1 and PE2 could be a Cisco ASR 9000 Series SPA Interface Processor-700 or a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet line card.
In the IP Interworking mode, the Layer 2 (L2) header is removed from the packets received on an ingress PE, and only the IP payload is transmitted to the egress PE. On the egress PE, an L2 header is appended before the packet is transmitted out of the egress port.
In Figure above , CE1 and CE2 could be a Frame Relay (FR) interface or a GigabitEthernet (GigE) interface. Assuming CE1 is a FR and CE2 is either a GigE or dot1q, or QinQ. For packets arriving from an Ethernet CE (CE2), ingress LC on the PE (PE2) facing the CE removes L2 framing and forwards the packet to egress PE (PE1) using IPoMPLS encapsulation over a pseudowire. The core facing line card on egress PE removes the MPLS labels but preserves the control word and transmits it to the egress line card facing FR CE (CE1). At the FR PE, after label disposition, the Layer 3 (L3) packets are encapsulated over FR.
Similarly, IP packets arriving from the FR CE are translated into IPoMPLS encapsulation over the pseudowire. At the Ethernet PE side, after label disposition, the PE adds L2 Ethernet packet header back to the packet before transmitting it to the CE, as the packets coming out from the core carry only the IP payload.
These modes support IP Interworking on AToM:
Ethernet to Frame Relay
Packets arriving from the Ethernet CE device have MAC (port-mode, untagged, single, double tag), IPv4 header and data. The Ethernet line card removes the L2 framing and then forwards the L3 packet to the egress line card. The egress line card adds the FR L2 header before transmitting it from the egress port.
Ethernet to Ethernet
Both the CE devices are Ethernet. Each ethernet interface can be port-mode, untagged, single, or double tag, although this is not a typical scenario for IP interworking.
This feature enables an interworking layer in the access network(s) to terminate all non-Ethernet functionality and translate these connections to a Ethernet centric service which can be terminated on the Layer 3 edge routers. Currently, the time-division multiplexing (TDM) based services terminate on the Layer 3 edge routers directly. A simplified and more cost optimized model for the L3 networks is enabled by moving the TDM complexity into the access layer.
The Layer 2 encapsulation is removed from an IP packet by the ingress PE’s attachment circuit facing ingress line card. The MPLS encapsulated IP packet payload is then sent across the fabric to the core facing egress line card. The egress line card then transmits the packet through the MPLS core. On the remote PE, the MPLS label is removed, Layer 2 header of the egress AC is added and finally the packet is sent to the connected CE. L2VPN VPWS has been enhanced to support:
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
High-level Data Link Control (HDLC)
Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP)
QOS support for all the encapsulation types
For more information on QoS, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Configuration.
The TDM ACs can be configured on these SPAs:

SPA-1XCHSTM1/OC3
SPA-2XCHOC12/DS0
SPA-1XCHOC48/DS3
SPA-4XT3/E3

SPA-8XOC12-POS
SPA-1XOC48POS/RPR
SPA-2XOC48POS/RPR
Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) transports Layer 2 packets over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone. This enables service providers to connect customer sites with existing Layer 2 networks by using a single, integrated, packet-based network infrastructure. Using this feature, service providers can deliver Layer 2 connections over an MPLS backbone, instead of using separate networks.
AToM encapsulates Layer 2 frames at the ingress PE router, and sends them to a corresponding PE router at the other end of a pseudowire, which is a connection between the two PE routers. The egress PE removes the encapsulation and sends out the Layer 2 frame.
The successful transmission of the Layer 2 frames between PE routers is due to the configuration of the PE routers. You set up a connection, called a pseudowire, between the routers. You specify this information on each PE router:
The type of Layer 2 data that will be transported across the pseudowire, such as Ethernet and Frame Relay
The IP address of the loopback interface of the peer PE router, which enables the PE routers to communicate.
A unique combination of peer PE IP address and VC ID that identifies the pseudowire.
The control word contains forward explicit congestion notification (FECN), backward explicit congestion notification (BECN) and DE bits in case of frame relay connection.
Control word is mandatory for:
Frame Relay
ATM AAL5
Frame Relay to Ethernet bridged interworking
cHDLC/PPP IP interworking
CEM (Circuit Emulation)
The system does not map bits from one transport end point to another across an AToM IP Interworking connection.
Whenever supported, control word is also recommended for pseudowires, as it enables proper load balancing without packet desequencing independent of L2VPN packet content. Without control word the heuristics used to perform load balancing cannot achieve optimal results in all cases.
The attachment circuit (AC) is a main interface configured with HDLC encapsulation. Packets to or from the AC are transported using an AToM pseudowire (PW) of VC type 0x6 to or from the other provider edge (PE) router over the MPLS core network.
With HDLC over MPLS, the entire HDLC packet is transported. The ingress PE router removes only the HDLC flags and FCS bits.
The attachment circuit (AC) is a main interface configured with PPP encapsulation. Packets to or from the AC are transported through an AToM PW of VC type 0x7 to or from the other provider edge (PE) routers over the MPLS core network.
With PPP over MPLS, the ingress PE router removes the flags, address, control field, and the FCS bits.
Frame Relay over MPLS (FRoMPLS) provides leased line type of connectivity between two Frame Relay islands. Frame Relay traffic is transported over the MPLS network.
Note |
The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) DCLI-DLCI mode is supported. A control word (required for DLCI-DLCI mode) is used to carry additional control information. |
When a Provider Edge (PE) router receives a Frame Relay protocol packet from a subscriber site, it removes the Frame Relay header and Frame Check Sequence (FCS) and appends the appropriate Virtual Circuit (VC) label. The removed Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN), Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN), Discard Eligible (DE) and Command/Response (C/R) bits are (for DLCI-DLCI mode) sent separately using a control word.
MPLS transport profile (MPLS-TP) tunnels provide the transport network service layer over which IP and MPLS traffic traverse. Within the MPLS-TP environment, pseudowires (PWs) use MPLS-TP tunnels as the transport mechanism. MPLS-TP tunnels help transition from SONET/SDH TDM technologies to packet switching, to support services with high bandwidth utilization and low cost. Transport networks are connection oriented, statically provisioned, and have long-lived connections. Transport networks usually avoid control protocols that change identifiers (like labels). MPLS-TP tunnels provide this functionality through statically provisioned bidirectional label switched paths (LSPs).
For more information on configuring MPLS transport profile, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide.
MPLS-TP supports these combinations of static and dynamic multisegment pseudowires:
Static-static
Static-dynamic
Dynamic-static
Dynamic-dynamic
MPLS-TP supports one-to-one L2VPN pseudowire redundancy for these combinations of static and dynamic pseudowires:
Static pseudowire with a static backup pseudowire
Static pseudowire with a dynamic backup pseudowire
Dynamic pseudowire with a static backup pseudowire
Dynamic pseudowire with a dynamic backup pseudowire
The existing TE preferred path feature is used to pin down a PW to an MPLS-TP transport tunnel. See Configuring Preferred Tunnel Path for more information on configuring preferred tunnel path. For a dynamic pseudowire, PW status is exchanged through LDP whereas for static PW, status is transported in PW OAM message. See Configuring PW Status OAM for more information on configuring PW status OAM. By default, alarms are not generated when the state of a PW changes due to change in the state of MPLS TP tunnel carrying that PW.
Circuit Emulation over Packet (CEoP) is a method of carrying TDM circuits over packet switched network. CEoP is similar to a physical connection. The goal of CEoP is to replace leased lines and legacy TDM networks.
CEoP operates in two major modes:
Unstructured mode is called SAToP (Structure Agnostic TDM over Packet)
SAToP addresses only structure-agnostic transport, i.e., unframed E1, T1, E3 and T3. It segments all TDM services as bit streams and then encapsulates them for transmission over a PW tunnel. This protocol can transparently transmit TDM traffic data and synchronous timing information. SAToP completely disregards any structure and provider edge routers (PEs) do not need to interpret the TDM data or to participate in the TDM signaling. The protocol is a simple way for transparent transmission of PDH bit-streams.
Structured mode is named CESoPSN (Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network)
Compared with SAToP, CESoPSN transmits emulated structured TDM signals. That is, it can identify and process the frame structure and transmit signaling in TDM frames. It may not transmit idle timeslot channels, but only extracts useful timeslots of CE devices from the E1 traffic stream and then encapsulates them into PW packets for transmission.CEoP SPAs are half-height (HH) Shared Port Adapters (SPA) and the CEoP SPA family consists of 24xT1/E1, 2xT3/E3, and 1xOC3/STM1 unstructured and structured (NxDS0) quarter rate, half height SPAs.
The CEM functionality is supported only on Engine 5 line cards having CEoP SPAs. CEM is supported on:
1-port Channelized OC3 STM1 ATM CEoP SPA (SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM)
CESoPSN and SAToP can use MPLS, UDP/IP, and L2TPv3 as the underlying transport mechanism. This release supports only MPLS transport mechanism.
CEoP SPA supports these modes of operation:
Circuit Emulation Mode (CEM)
ATM Mode
IMA Mode
Note |
Only CEM mode is supported. |
CEM offers these benefits to the service provider and end-users:
Saving cost in installing equipment.
Saving cost in network operations; as leased lines are expensive, limiting their usage to access only mode saves significant costs.
Ensuring low maintenance cost because only the core network needs to be maintained.
Utilizing the core network resources more efficiently with packet switched network, while keeping investment in access network intact.
Providing cheaper services to the end-user.
The L2VPN Nonstop Routing (NSR) feature avoids label distribution path (LDP) sessions from flapping on events such as process failures (crash) and route processor failover (RP FO). NSR on process failure (crash) is supported by performing RP FO, if you have enabled NSR using NSR process failure switchover.
NSR enables the router (where failure has occurred) to maintain the control plane states without a graceful restart (GR). NSR, by definition, does not require any protocol extension and typically uses Stateful Switch Over (SSO) to maintain it’s control plane states.
Note |
NSR is enabled by default for L2VPN on Cisco IOS XR 64 bit operating system. You cannot configure the nsr command under L2VPN configuration submode. |
A L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnel is a static L2VPN cross-connect that uses Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3) over IPv6, with a unique IPv6 source address for each cross-connect. The L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels consists of one L2TPv3 tunnel for each subscriber VLAN. The unique IPv6 address completely identifies the customer, and the service that is delivered.
Note |
L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels are supported on the ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet line cards by a scale of 15000 crossconnects for each router and line card. |
Note |
nV satellite access interfaces do not support L2TPv3 over IPv6. |
L2TPv3 defines the L2TP protocol for tunneling Layer 2 payloads over an IP core network using Layer 2 virtual private networks (VPNs). Traffic between two customer network sites is encapsulated in IP packets carrying L2TP data messages (payload) and sent across an IP network. The backbone routers of the IP network treat this payload in the same manner as it treats any other IP traffic. Implementing L2TPv3 over IPv6 provides an opportunity to utilize unique source IPv6 addresses to directly identify Ethernet attachment circuits. In this case, processing of the L2TPv3 session ID is bypassed; this is because each tunnel has only one associated session. This local optimization, however, does not hinder the ability to continue supporting circuit multiplexing through the session ID for other L2TPv3 tunnels on the same router.
For more information on:
Configuration procedures, see Configuring L2TPv3 over IPv6Tunnels.
Configuration examples, see Configuring L2TPv3 over IPv6 Tunnels: Example.
Traffic Injection from L2TPv3 over IPv6 Tunnel feature allows you to inject diagnostic traffic through Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3) Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) tunnel. The diagnostic traffic allows you to monitor and troubleshoot the network traffic. You can send the diagnostic traffic from customer office (CO) using traffic generator towards the customer or towards the network.
In previous releases, with traffic mirroring feature the user was only able to send the mirrored traffic from customer towards the monitoring device, the mirror tunnel was unidirectional.
Traffic mirroring copies traffic from one or more source ports and sends the copied traffic to one or more destinations for analysis by a network analyzer or other monitoring device. Traffic mirroring does not affect the flow of traffic on the source interfaces or sub-interfaces, and allows the mirrored traffic to be sent to a destination interface or sub-interface
This feature is not supported on bundle and sub-bundle interfaces, supported only on main and sub interfaces.
Diagnostic traffic directed from network to customer does not traverse the same path as the actual non-diagnostic network to customer traffic. As a result, any issue with the core facing interface is not diagnosed.
Diagnostic traffic will mix with the actual customer traffic. It is the responsibility of CO to ensure that it does not cause any problems to the customer, and CO is able to differentiate diagnostic traffic from customer traffic in the SPAN tunnel.
Physical port features are not available in the inward inject path, so the problems in the physical port features, such as, EOAM or BIA MAC are not diagnosed.
Bundle and other hash calculations, such as, ECMP, are not available, so the only customer interface supported is a physical interface.
For Layer 3, only IPv4 and IPv6 diagnostic payload is supported.
Consider a topology where an L2TPv3 tunnel is created between two ASR 9000 devices. Customer Office (CO) sends diagnostic traffic using traffic generator over L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnel to the ASR 9000 router. The ASR 9000 router on the left-hand side sends the diagnostic traffic towards the customer as though it is sent from the network or sends the diagnostic traffic towards the network as though it is sent from the customer.
The diagnostic traffic header contains destination MAC address, source MAC address, and IP payload. If the header contains destination MAC address of the ASR 9000 router, the diagnostic traffic is sent to the network as though it sent from the customer. If the header contains source MAC address of the ASR 9000 router, the diagnostic traffic is sent to the customer as though it sent from the network.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3) over IPv4 provides a dynamic mechanism for tunneling Layer 2 (L2) circuits across a packet-oriented data network, with multiple attachment circuits multiplexed over a single pair of IP address endpoints, using the L2TPv3 session ID as a circuit discriminator.
The following figure shows how the L2TPv3 feature is used to set up VPNs using Layer 2 tunneling over an IP network. All traffic between two customer network sites is encapsulated in IP packets carrying L2TP data messages and sent across an IP network. The backbone routers of the IP network treat the traffic as any other IP traffic and needn’t know anything about the customer networks.
In the above figure the PE routers R1 and R2 provide L2TPv3 services. The R1 and R2 routers communicate with each other using a pseudowire over the IP backbone network through a path comprising the interfaces int1 and int2 , the IP network, and interfaces int3 and int4 . The CE routers R3 and R4 communicate through a pair of cross-connected Ethernet or 802.1q VLAN interfaces using an L2TPv3 session. The L2TPv3 session tu1 is a pseudowire configured between interface int1 on R1 and interface int4 on R2. Any packet arriving on interface int1 on R1 is encapsulated and sent through the pseudowire control-channel (tu1) to R2. R2 decapsulates the packet and sends it on interface int4 to R4. When R4 needs to send a packet to R3, the packet follows the same path in reverse.
Note |
L2TPv3 over IPv4 feature is supported only on Cisco ASR 9000 High Density 100GE Ethernet line cards. |
Note |
nV satellite access interfaces do not support L2TPv3 over IPv4. |
For more information on:
Configuration procedures, see Configuring L2TPv3 over IPv4 Tunnels.
Configuration examples, see Configuring L2TPv3 over IPv4 Tunnels: Example.
A single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) is a point-to-point pseudowire (PW) where the PW segment is present between two PE routers.
In this feature, a single-segment pseudowire is established between two PE routers of the same autonomous system (AS) dynamically using the FEC 129 information. The objective of this feature is to ensure interoperability of the Cisco routers with the third-party routers.
The T-PE on which the SS-PW is initiated and the signaling message is transmitted from is called as the source-terminating PE (ST-PE). The T-PE that waits and responds to the SS-PW signaling message is called the target-terminating PE (TT-PE).
The signaling flow from the ST-PE to TT-PE is referred to as the forward direction signaling or the active signaling. The signaling flow from the TT-PE to ST-PE is referred to as the reverse direction signaling or the passive signaling.
Generally, the PE with the highest prefix address takes the active role and becomes the ST-PE, and the other PE becomes the passive TT-PE.
The following figure illustrates the SS-PW signaling flow between ST-PE and TT-PE:
The dynamic discovery of the pseudowire path from the ST-PE to the T-PE is achieved using the L2 route table. The route table entries, that is, a list of prefix and associated next-hops to the L2VPN are populated by BGP.
Note |
In Release 5.1.2, Cisco supports only the routable prefix to reach the TAII on the T-PE. The routable prefix is the neighbor address of the targeted-LDP session. The reachability of packets from the source to the destination is achieved by user configurations (see Configuring L2VPN Single Segment Pseudowire) However, BGP supports MS-PW Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFI) that is used to exchange the L2 routes across all the PEs. SS-PW uses the BGP MS-PW address family to function. To ensure interoperability with other third-party routers, Cisco advertises a single BGP MS-PW route per T-PE where the value of AC-ID (attachment circuit-identifier) is a wild-card entry. |
The supported pseudowire features are pw-status, pw-grouping, and tag-impose vlan.
The following figure illustrates the E-line Services Network with SS-PWs:
Configuring MPLS Label Distribution Protocol.
Configuring Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).
Configure Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Configuring an Interface or Connection for L2VPN.
The routed pseudowire can only be enabled on Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) cross connects.
A cross-connect cannot have both ends configured as “neighbor routed” pseudowire.
SS-PW is not supported as the other member of the cross-connect, that is, at a T-PE, one end of the cross-connect can be the termination of the SS-PW and the other end can either be an attachment circuit (AC) or a PW-HE.
Source AII and AC-ID (attachment circuit identifier) are unique per router.
L2TP and MPLS static are not supported.

The EVPN-VPWS is a BGP control plane solution for point-to-point services. It implements the signaling and encapsulation techniques for establishing an EVPN instance between a pair of PEs. It has the ability to forward traffic from one network to another without MAC lookup. The use of EVPN for VPWS eliminates the need for signaling single-segment and multi-segment PWs for point-to-point Ethernet services. You can also configure the PWHE interface and a bridge domain access pseudowire using EVPN-VPWS.
EVPN-VPWS single homed technology works on IP and MPLS core; IP core to support BGP and MPLS core for switching packets between the endpoints.
The EVPN-VPWS single homed solution requires per EVI Ethernet Auto Discovery route. EVPN defines a new BGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) used to carry all EVPN routes. BGP Capabilities Advertisement used to ensure that two speakers support EVPN NLRI (AFI 25, SAFI 70) as per RFC 4760.
The architecture for EVPN VPWS is that the PEs run Multi-Protocol BGP in control-plane. The following image describes the EVPN-VPWS configuration:
The VPN ID (EVI)
The local AC identifier (AC1) that identifies the local end of the emulated service.
The remote AC identifier (AC2) that identifies the remote end of the emulated service.
PE1 allocates a MPLS label per local AC for reachability.
The VPWS service on PE2 is set in the same manner as PE1. The three same elements are required and the service configuration must be symmetric.
PE2 allocates a MPLS label per local AC for reachability.
PE1 advertise a single EVPN per EVI Ethernet AD route for each local endpoint (AC) to remote PEs with the associated MPLS label.
PE2 performs the same task.
On reception of EVPN per EVI EAD route from PE2, PE1 adds the entry to its local L2 RIB. PE1 knows the path list to reach AC2, for example, next hop is PE2 IP address and MPLS label for AC2.
PE2 performs the same task.
Scalability is achieved without signaling pseudowires.
Ease of provisioning
Pseudowires (PWs) are not used.
Leverages BGP best path selection (optimal forwarding).
Ensure BGP is configured for EVPN SAFI.

To support IPv6 pseudowire neighbors, an AFI needs to be configured as follows:
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1For L2TPv3 tunnels, the encapsulation and protocol has to be set to l2tpv3.
Note |
The default encapsulation and protocol is MPLS. |
l2vpn
pw-class ts
encapsulation l2tpv3
protocol l2tpv3This example shows how to configure source IPv6 address for the L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnel:
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
source 1111:2222::abcd
For L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels, the local and remote session ID is configured under the pseudowire; however, this configuration is optional.
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static local session 1
l2tp static remote session 1For L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels, the local and remote cookies are configured under the pseudowire. Support has been extended for cookie roll-over that provides the ability to configure a secondary local cookie. This example shows how to configure a cookie with size 0:
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static local cookie size 0
l2tp static remote cookie size 0This example shows how to configure a cookie with size 4:
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static local cookie size 4 value <0x0-0xffffffff>
l2tp static remote cookie size 4 value <0x0-0xffffffff>This example shows how to configure a cookie with size 8 (the lower 4 bytes are entered first; followed by the higher 4 bytes):
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static local cookie size 8 value <0x0-0xffffffff> <0x0-0xffffffff>
l2tp static remote cookie size 8 value <0x0-0xffffffff> <0x0-0xffffffff>To support cookie roll-over on L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels, configure a secondary local cookie. The local cookie secondary command specifies the secondary cookie value on the local router.
Note |
The primary and secondary cookies must be of the same size. Primary or secondary local cookies must match the cookie value being received from the remote end, otherwise, packets are dropped. |
l2vpn
xconnect group g1
p2p xc3
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4.2
neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static local cookie secondary size 8 value <0x0-0xffffffff> <0x0-0xffffffff>This example shows you how to enable the L2TP static submode:

neighbor ipv6 1111:2222::cdef pw-id 1
l2tp static
local cookie <>For L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnels, configurations are supported for each pseudowire class to enable type of service (TOS) reflection, or to set a specific TOS value in the L2TPv3 header.
Note |
By default, the TOS is copied over from the class of service (COS) fields of the VLAN header. If the underlying packet is not an IPv4 or IPv6 packet, the COS fields are copied from the VLAN header, even if a TOS reflection is configured. |
This example shows how to configure a TOS reflection in the L2TPv3 header:
l2vpn
pw-class ts
encapsulation l2tpv3
protocol l2tpv3
tos reflect
This example shows how to set a TOS value in the L2TPv3 header:
l2vpn
