Virtual Private LAN Services Commands

This module describes the commands used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS).

For detailed information about virtual private network concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to the Virtual Private Configuration Guide.

action (VPLS)

To configure the bridge behavior when the number of learned MAC addresses reaches the MAC limit configured, use the action command in L2VPN bridge group bridge domain MAC limit configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

action {flood | no-flood | shutdown}

no action {flood | no-flood | shutdown}

Syntax Description

flood

Configures the action to flood all unknown unicast packets when the MAC limit is reached. If the action is set to flood, all unknown unicast packets, with unknown destinations addresses, are flooded over the bridge.

no-flood

Configures the action to no-flood so all unknown unicast packets are dropped when the MAC limit is reached. If the action is set to no-flood, all unknown unicast packets, with unknown destination addresses, are dropped.

shutdown

Stops forwarding when the MAC limit is reached. If the action is set to shutdown, all packets are dropped.

Command Default

No action is taken when the MAC address limit is reached.

Command Modes

Release

Modification

Release 3.8.0

This command was introduced.

Release 5.1.2

This command was modified to enable filtering the command output for specific pseudowire with just the pseudowire ID.

Usage Guidelines

To use commands of this module, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using any command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the interface keyword to display only the bridge domain that contains the specified interface as an attachment circuit. In the sample output, only the attachment circuit matches the filter that is displayed. No pseudowires are displayed.


Note
For Cisco IOS XR software Release 5.1.2 and above, you can filter the command output for a specific pseudowire with just the pseudowire ID. However, in case of configurations with BGP Auto-discovery with BGP or LDP signaling (in VPLS), you can specify the pseudowire only with the combination of the neighbor filter and the pseudowire ID.

Related Commands

Command

Description

clear l2vpn bridge-domain (VPLS)

Clears the MAC addresses and restarts the bridge domains on the router.

show l2vpn forwarding bridge-domain (VPLS)

To display information on the bridge that is used by the forwarding layer, use the show l2vpn forwarding bridge-domain command in EXEC mode.

show l2vpn forwarding bridge-domain [bridge-domain-name] {detail | hardware {egress | ingress}} location node-id

Syntax Description

bridge-domain-name

(Optional) Name of a bridge domain.

detail

Displays all the detailed information on the attachment circuits and pseudowires.

hardware

Displays the hardware location entry.

egress

Reads information from the egress PSE.

ingress

Reads information from the ingress PSE.

location node-id

Displays the bridge-domain information for the specified location. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/slot/module notation.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.8.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

For each bridge, you can display summary information about the number of bridge ports, number of MAC addresses, configured VXLANs and so forth.

The detail keyword displays detailed information on the attachment circuits and pseudowires, and is meant for field investigation by a specialized Cisco engineer.


Note

All bridge ports in the bridge domain on that line card are displayed. Therefore, if the bridge domain contains non-local bridge ports, those are displayed as well.

In general, the type is set to inactivity. With an inactivity type configuration, a MAC address is removed from the forwarding table after the MAC address is inactive for the configured aging time.

With an absolute type configuration, a MAC address is always removed from the forwarding table after the aging time has elapsed once it is initially learned.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the MAC address aging type to absolute for every member of the bridge domain named bar: 


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# l2vpn
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-l2vpn)# bridge group 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-l2vpn-bg)# bridge-domain bar
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-l2vpn-bg-bd)# mac
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-l2vpn-bg-bd-mac)# aging
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-l2vpn-bg-bd-mac-aging)# type absolute

Command Description

aging (VPLS)

Enters the MAC aging configuration submode to set the aging parameters such as time and type. 

bridge-domain (VPLS)

Establishes a bridge domain, and enters L2VPN bridge group bridge domain configuration mode.  

bridge group (VPLS)

Creates a bridge group so that it can contain bridge domains and then to assign network interfaces to the bridge domain. 

l2vpn

Enters L2VPN configuration mode.  

mac (VPLS)

Enters L2VPN bridge group bridge domain MAC configuration mode. 

time (VPLS)

Configures the maximum aging time. 

vfi (VPLS)

To configure virtual forwarding interface (VFI) parameters and to enter L2VPN bridge group bridge domain VFI configuration mode, use the vfi command in L2VPN bridge group bridge domain configuration mode. To remove all configurations that are made under the specified VFI, use the no form of this command.

vfi vfi-name

no vfi vfi-name

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the vfi command to enter L2VPN bridge group bridge domain VFI configuration mode.

You cannot configure a pseudowire directly under a bridge domain. Therefore, a psuedowire must be configured under a VFI, which is configured under a bridge domain.
