1.1  MPLS VLL Overview

1.1.1  Concepts in MPLS VLL

MPLS Virtual Leased Line (MPLS VLL) provides transparently transmission of Layer 2 data of users over an MPLS network. From the users’ perspective, this MPLS network is a Layer switched network through which Layer 2 connections can be set up between different sites. A VLL is a point-to-point virtual connection service provided in the public network. With the VLL, the two sites appear as if they were directly connected through a circuit. However a VLL cannot provide switching service among multiple points directly at the service provider.

1.1.2  Introduction to MPLS VLL

MPLS VLL provides MPLS network-based Layer 2 VPN services. For users, an MPLS network is a Layer 2 switched network, through which Layer 2 connections can be established between network nodes.

Figure 1-2 Networking diagram of MPLS VLL

MPLS VLL has the following advantages:

l           Multiple network layer protocols supported, such as IP, IPv6, IPX, and SNA.

l           Powerful extensibility. MPLS VLL only establishes Layer 2 connections, rather than imports and manages the routing information. This eases work load of PE (provider edge) devices and the entire SP (service provider) network remarkably and thus enables SPs to provide more VPNs and accommodate more users.

l           Reliability and privacy of user routes. As no user routing information is imported, there is no need for MPLS VLL to obtain and process the information, ensuring the privacy of user routes.

Figure 1-3 illustrates the structure of an MPLS VLL packet.

Figure 1-3 Structure of an MPLS VLL packet

The fields in an MPLS VLL packet are described as follows:

Tunnel label (the outer label) is an MPLS label or a GRE label. It is used to transmit a packet from one PE to anther.

VC label (the inner label) is a lower layer label used to identify the links between PEs and CEs. Packets of MPLS VLLs implemented through circuit cross connect (CCC) do not contain this label.

Data in MPLS VLL can be encapsulated as Ethernet or VLAN packets at the data link layer. At present, data of different nodes in a VPN must be encapsulated as the same type of packets.

1.1.3  Packet Forwarding

In an MPLS VLL, CE, PE, and P operate in the same way as those in a BGP/MPLS VPN. That is, they also forward packets in an MPLS network transparently by using label stacks. To forward packets in an MPLS VLL, tunnels must be established first between PEs (this can be achieved by either manual configuration or signaling protocols). When the interfaces connecting PEs and CEs are up, PEs insert VC labels for packets sent by CE, and then mark them with tunnel labels. On receiving these packets, the remote PEs strip off the tunnel labels and send the packets to the corresponding CEs according to their VC labels.

Figure 1-4 illustrates changes of the label stack of a packet during the forwarding.

Figure 1-4 Label stack processing of MPLS VLL

1.1.4  Implementation

At present, the official standard for MPLS VLL has not been established yet. However, the PPVPN (Provider-provisioned Virtual Private Network) group of IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) defines multiple framework drafts, two of which are commonly used. They are known as Martini draft and Kompella draft. Till May, 2005, they are depicted in the following documents respectively:

l           draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-09.txt

l           draft-kompella-ppvpn-l2vpn-02.txt

Martini draft defines the way to implement MPLS VLL by establishing point-to-point links. Here, LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) is used as the signaling protocol to exchange VC labels. This kind of MPLS VLLs is known as Martini MPLS VLLs.

Kompella draft defines how to establish MPLS VLLs in MPLS networks through end-to-end (CE-to-CE) connections. At present, BGP (border gateway protocol) is used as the signaling protocol to propagate the information about Layer 2 reachability and VC labels. Such MPLS VLLs are known as Kompella MPLS VLLs.

Also, you can establish MPLS VLLs without signaling protocols. In this case, MPLS VLL services are provided through statically configured VC labels. An example of this is CCC, which implement MPLS VLLs through static configuration.

Table 1-2 describes the features and implementation ways of the above three types of MPLS VLLs.

Table 1-2 Features and implementation ways of the three types of MPLS VLLs

VPN type	Implementation	Feature
CCC	Configures static LSPs to implement MPLS VLL. You must manually configure two LSPs (for sending and receiving packets respectively) for each CCC connection node by node (including PEs and Ps). The configured LSPs can only be used to transmit packets of the corresponding CCC connections.	Data is transmitted through packets with single-layer labels. LSPs are used exclusively. No signaling is needed to transmit the Layer 2 VPN information. Only MPLS forwarding is required. In this way, CEs of different SPs can be interconnected easily.
Martini	Uses extended LDP as the signaling to transmit the VC information. Uses VC-TYPE and VC-ID to identify VCs. VC-TYPE indicates the encapsulation type of data link layer, and VC-ID uniquely identifies a VC. PEs connecting CEs exchange VC labels through LDPs. They bind the corresponding CEs through VC-IDs.	Local switching like CCC is not available. An LSP can be shared by multiple VCs.
Kompella	Similar to Layer 3 BGP/MPLS VPN defined in RFC2547. PEs discover Layer 2 VPN nodes automatically through IBGP sessions established between them. They also propagate the VPN information. Labels are distributed in the form of label blocks, which enables multiple connections being assigned tags simultaneously. The size of a tag block is determined by CE Range (user-configurable). VPN-target is used to differentiate VPNs.	Users can assign extra labels to VPNs for future use. This eases the configuration work loads of VPN deployment and capacity expansion. VPN-target is used to identify VPNs. This brings great flexibility for VPN networking. Connections between CEs are not concerned. This type of MPLS VLL is implemented by dividing the entire SP network into different VPNs and numbering these CEs in the VPNs. To establish a connection between two CEs, you need to set the local CE ID and the remote CE ID on the PE, and specify the Circuit ID assigned for the connection by the local CE.

Establish local CCC connection	ccc ccc-connection-name interface vlan-interface vlan-id out-interface vlan-interface vlan-id	Required. Two types of CCC connections exist: local CCC connection and remote CCC connection. A local CCC connection is established between two local CEs. It can be switched directly by the PE without being configured a static LSP. A remote CCC connection is established between the local CE and a remote CE. The two CEs are attached to different PEs. In this case, you need to configure two static LSPs for bidirectional packets transmitted between the two PEs.

Note the following:

l           During the Martini VLL configuration, if you specify the tunnel destination address, you must specify the 32-bit loopback address of the peer PE as the tunnel destination address; if you do not specify the tunnel destination address, the LSR-ID of the peer PE will be used as the tunnel destination address.

l           You must use cards with the suffix CA (such as LSB2FT48CA) on the public network access sides when configuring Martini MPLS VLL; you can use cards with the suffix C or CA on the private network access side.

l           VLL configured on a VLAN interface supports single-port or multi-port VLAN access private VLANs. If the encapsulation type is Ethernet access, the port link type for the private VLAN is Access; if the encapsulation type is VLAN access, the port link type for the private VLAN is Trunk. It is not recommended to use Hybrid as the port link type for the private VLAN. The user access mode across the PW connection must be the same.

l           For single-port access Martini VLL configuration, there can be only one VLAN at the access side of each VPN, each VLAN can comprise only one interface, and IGMP or IGMP Snooping must not be enabled in any VLAN on this interface; if IGMP or IGMP Snooping is enabled in any VLAN on this interface, IGMP messages cannot be transparently transmitted in this VPN.

l           Multiport access Martini VLL does not support VLANs that contain hybrid inserted cards or aggregated ports. On the same VLAN interface, the access mode of the primary and backup virtual connection must be the same, both single-port access or both multi-port access. For a multi-port access private network VLAN, the encapsulation type of all the ports in the VLAN must be the same.

l           Currently only GE/10GE cards suffixed with CA support Martini VLL configuration in port view (XP4CA cards and WAN cards, such as ATM, E1/T1 and CPOS, do not support this configuration). Only one port is allowed at the access side of each VPN, no duplicate VLAN ID configuration is allowed on the port, and this port must belong to the VLAN in configuration. Make sure the STP is disabled on the port. The Martini VLL configuration cannot be made on a port in hybrid insertion configuration or an aggregation port. Other configurations, such other VLL connections, IGMP, and IGMP snooping, cannot be made on the specified VLAN interface; otherwise these configurations will not work normally. To allow normal operation of other services configured on the VLAN interface, you need to remove the Martini VLL configuration made on the port.

l           Currently only Martini VLLs configured on a VLAN interface support the primary/backup VC mode, while port-based Martini VLLs do not support this.

l           LSB1XP4CA0 cards do not support the multi-port VLL feature.

l           Interface cards configured for ACL redirection in port groups (such as XP4B) cannot be used as non-MPLS intermixing cards.

l           The MTU value set in Martini VLL configuration does not affect the actual MTU of the link.

l           If you use the mpls l2vc manual-restore command to manually restore primary connections for the MPLS VLL virtual connections on the device, the device will automatically disable the primary connection auto-restore function.

l           With the primary connection auto-restore function enabled on the device, you can still use the mpls l2vc manual-restore command to manually switch the MPLS VLL virtual connection on the specified VLAN interface. In this case, if the primary L2VC flapping occurs, after the primary virtual connection resumes normal, the MPLS VLL virtual connection will switch to the primary L2VC automatically.

1.4  Kompella MPLS VLL Configuration

1.4.1  Configuring Kompella MPLS VLL

Follow these steps to configure Kompella MPLS VLL:

To do...	Use the command...	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Configure the LSR-ID	mpls lsr-id lsr-id	Required
Enable MPLS	mpls	Required
Enable MPLS VLL globally	mpls l2vpn	Required
Perform BGP (border gateway protocol) related configuration. Make sure BGP operates properly and routers can discover routes to other routers.	Refer to BGP Configuration in the IP Routing Volume.	Required In a Kompella MPLS VLL, the extended BGP is used as the signaling protocol to distribute VC labels. So, you also need to configure BGP parameters on PEs. As for the MPLS VLL itself, it has no special requirements on the BGP configuration. Note that after the reflection function is enabled in BGP view, the function is enabled on the related VLL peers. To enabled the reflection function for a VLL peer only, you can execute the undo reflect between-clients command in BGP view, through which the unicast routes received from a client are not reflected to other clients.
Enter VLL address family view.	l2vpn-family	Required
Activate the peer or peer group.	peer { group-name | peer-address } enable	Required By default, only the peers of BGP IPv4 unicast address families are active. The peer groups of other types are deactivated and thus cannot exchange the routing information.
Create a VPN and specify the encapsulation type.	mpls l2vpn vpn-name [ encapsulation { ethernet | vlan } ]	Required The default encapsulation type is Ethernet. In the Kompella mode, the encapsulation type of the access side of the private network can be Ethernet access and VLAN access. If you configure the encapsulation type as Ethernet access, the port link type in a private network VLAN is Access type; if you configure the encapsulation type as VLAN access, the port link type in a private network VLAN is Trunk type. It is not recommended to use Hybrid type as the port link type in a private network VLAN. The user access modes of the instance in all the peer PEs must be consistent.
Configure the RD (route distinguisher) of the MPLS VLL	route-distinguisher route-distinguisher	Required For an MPLS VLL, you must configure the RD before performing other configurations. An RD cannot be modified once it is configured. The only way to modify a configured RD is to remove the corresponding MPLS VLL and create another one. As for VLL, it is recommended that you assign a unique RD for each VPN.
Configure the VPN-target of the MPLS VLL	vpn-target vpn-target-ext-community [ import-extcommunity| export-extcommunity | both ]	Required
Configure the Layer 2 MTU (maximum transmission unit) of the VPN	mtu mtu	Optional The same MTU value must be configured for all PEs in the same VPN.
Create a CE or modify the CE Range of an existing CE	ce name [ id id [ range range ] [ default-offset offset ] ]	Required Each CE created on a PE needs to uniquely correspond to one actual CE device connected to the PE. You need to specify a unique ID for these CEs. You can also specify the CE Range. It is desired that the CE ID begins with 1 and increases in step of 1.
Enter an existing CE	ce name
Create connections between CEs	connection [ ce-offset offset ] { interface vlan-interface vlan-id [ multi-port ] }	Required When planning a VPN, you can specify CE IDs for CEs beginning with 1 and increasing in step of 1, and then establish connections by CE IDs. You can establish connections with CE Offset not provided for simplifying the configuration. In this case, the default CE Offset is used.

2)         Configure the other PE devices.

The configurations required on the other PE devices are similar to those on PE-A and are therefore omitted.

3)         Configure the P device.

The following gives only the configurations required on the P device. The detailed configuration steps are omitted.

l           Configure the LSR-ID, and enable MPLS and MPLS LDP.

l           Create a public VLAN and assign an IP address for the VLAN interface. Then, enable MPLS and MPLS LDP on the interface.

l           Configure a Loopback interface. Its IP address is used as the Router-ID.

l           Enable OSPF and advertise the routes of the interfaces.

1.6  Troubleshooting MPLS VLL

Symptom 1: Fail to configure Layer 2 VPN on the VLAN interface.

Solution:

l           Check to see if MPLS/BGP VPN, multicast, or VLL is enabled on the VLAN interface. Because you cannot perform Layer 2 VPN configuration on a VLAN interface if MPLS/BGP VPN, multicasting, or VLL is enabled on it.

l           Check to see if the VLAN is a super-VLAN or a sub-VLAN. You can perform the Layer 2 VPN configuration only on common VLAN interfaces.

Symptom 2: Fail to ping the peer from one end of a Martini MPLS VLL connection. The VC is down and the Remote value is invalid.

Solution:

l           VC state being down indicates the encapsulation types or VC IDs of the two ends are not the same. Make sure the interface types (Access or Trunk) of the two PE interfaces and the VC IDs of the two ends are consistent.

l           As for the invalid Remote value, make sure you have configured the Remote parameters and the peer addresses correctly.

Symptom 3: Fail to ping the peer of a Kompella MPLS VLL connection. The Connection is down and the VPN value is null.

Solution:

l           VPN value being null indicates the VPN is configured incorrectly. Make sure the VPN configurations (such as RD) of the both ends are consistent, and the connection configurations of the two CEs on both ends are correct.

l           Connection being down indicates configurations concerning encapsulation of the two ends are not the same. Make sure the encapsulation types and MTUs configured for the local and remote PE devices are consistent. A connection fails if the encapsulation types configured on the two ends are not the same.

Symptom 4: Fail to ping the peer end of a CCC MPLS VLL connection. The sending and receiving channels are up, so does the link connection.

Solution:

Make sure the in-label and out-label configured on the both ends correspond to each other. If a P device exists, make sure its forwarding connection configuration is correct, and the next hop configured statically is configured.
