MPLS L2VPN provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. This chapter describes only the MPLS L2VPN technologies that provide point-to-point connections. For information about the MPLS L2VPN technologies that provide point-to-multipoint connections, see "Configuring VPLS."

About MPLS L2VPN

MPLS L2VPN is an implementation of Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3). It offers Layer 2 VPN services over an MPLS or IP backbone. MPLS L2VPN can transparently transmit Layer 2 data for different data link layer protocols such as Ethernet.

Basic concepts of MPLS L2VPN

CE

A customer edge (CE) is a customer device directly connected to the service provider network.

PE

A provider edge (PE) is a service provider device connected to one or more CEs. It provides VPN access by mapping and forwarding packets between user networks and public tunnels.

AC

An attachment circuit (AC) is a link between a CE and a PE, such as an FR DLCI, ATM VPI/VCI, Ethernet interface, VLAN, or PPP connection.

PW

A Pseudowire (PW) is a virtual bidirectional connection between two PEs. An MPLS PW comprises a pair of LSPs in opposite directions.

Public tunnel

A public tunnel is a connection that carries one or more PWs across the MPLS or IP backbone. It can be an LSP tunnel, an MPLS TE tunnel, or a GRE tunnel.

Cross-connect

A cross-connect connects two physical or virtual circuits such as ACs and PWs. It switches packets between the two physical or virtual circuits. Cross-connects include AC to AC cross-connect, AC to PW cross-connect, and PW to PW cross-connect.

RD

A route distinguisher (RD) is added before a site ID to distinguish the sites that have the same site ID but reside in different VPNs. An RD and a site ID uniquely identify a VPN site.

MPLS L2VPN network models

As shown in Figure 1, the remote connection model connects two CEs through a PW on an MPLS or IP backbone.

Figure 1 Remote connection model

‌

Remote connection establishment

To set up a remote MPLS L2VPN connection:

1. Set up a public tunnel to carry one or more PWs between PEs.

2. Set up a PW to connect customer networks.

3. Set up an AC between a PE and a CE.

4. Bind the AC to the PW.

After the PE receives packets from the AC, it adds the PW label into the packets and sends the packets to the peer PE through the public tunnel.

After the peer PE receives the packets from the public tunnel, it removes the PW label of the packets and forwards the packets to the AC bound to the PW.

Setting up a public tunnel

The public tunnel can be an LSP, MPLS TE.

If multiple public tunnels exist between two PEs, you can configure a tunnel policy to control tunnel selection. For more information about tunnel policies, see "Configuring tunnel policies."

If a PW is established over an LSP or MPLS TE tunnel, packets on the PW have two labels. The outer label is the public LSP or MPLS TE tunnel label that MPLS uses to forward the packet to the peer PE. The inner label is the PW label that the peer PE uses to forward the packet to the destination CE.

Setting up a PW

PWs include static PWs, LDP PWs, BGP PWs, and Circuit Cross Connect (CCC) PWs.

· Static PW establishment

To establish a static PW, configure the peer PE address, and the incoming and outgoing PW labels for the PW on the two PEs. Static PWs consume a small amount of resources but have complex configurations.

· LDP PW establishment

To establish an LDP PW, configure LDP and specify the peer PE address on the two PEs. LDP defines a new FEC type named PW ID FEC for PEs to exchange PW-label bindings. The new FEC type uses a PW ID and a PW data encapsulation type to identify a PW. The PW ID is the ID of the PW between PEs. The PW data encapsulation type specifies the encapsulation type for data transmitted over the PW, such as ATM, FR, Ethernet, or VLAN. PEs advertise the PW label and PW ID FEC in label mapping messages to create a PW. Dynamic PWs have simple configurations but consume more resources than static PWs.

Setting up an AC

Set up an AC by configuring a link layer connection (such as a PPP connection) between a PE and a CE.

An AC can be one of the following types on a PE:

· Layer 3 physical interface or Layer 3 virtual interface—Transparently forwards received packets over the bound PW. The interface can be an Ethernet interface.

· Layer 3 subinterface—Forwards packets received from the corresponding link (VLAN) to the bound PW. In this mode, VLANs are unique on a per interface basis rather than on a global basis.

· Ethernet service instance on a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface—Forwards packets that are received on the interface and meet the match criteria of the Ethernet service instance to the bound PW. If the match criterion is VLAN ID, the VLAN is unique on a per interface basis rather than on a global basis.

NOTE:

When VLANs are globally unique, packets with the same VLAN ID are forwarded over the PW bound with that VLAN ID regardless of the receiving interfaces. If VLANs are unique on a per interface basis, packets with the same VLAN ID from different interfaces can be forwarded over different PWs.

‌

Binding the AC to the PW

Bind the Layer 3 physical interface, Layer 3 subinterface, or Ethernet service instance to the PW, so the PE forwards packets between the AC and the PW.

PW data encapsulation types

MPLS L2VPN transports Layer 2 data of different data link layer protocols through PWs. A PE encapsulates a Layer 2 packet received from an AC according to the PW data encapsulation type.

Relationship between AC types and PW data encapsulation types

The PW data encapsulation type is determined by the link type of the AC, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1 Relationship between AC types and PW data encapsulation types

AC type	PW data encapsulation type
Ethernet	Ethernet
Ethernet	VLAN
PPP	PPP
HDLC	HDLC

‌

Ethernet over MPLS

Ethernet over MPLS uses MPLS L2VPN to connect Ethernets, and delivers Ethernet packets through a PW over the MPLS backbone.

The following PW data encapsulation types are available for Ethernet over MPLS:

· Ethernet—P-tag is not transferred on a PW.

¡ For a packet from a CE:

- If the packet contains a P-tag, the PE removes the P-tag, and adds a PW label and an outer tag into the packet before forwarding it.

- If the packet contains no P-tag, the PE directly adds a PW label and an outer tag into the packet before forwarding it.

¡ For a packet to a CE:

- If the access mode is configured as VLAN by using the ac interface command, the PE adds a P-tag into the packet before sending it to the CE.

- If the access mode is configured as Ethernet by using the ac interface command, the PE directly sends the packet to the CE.

You cannot rewrite or remove existing tags.

· VLAN—Packets transmitted over a PW must carry a P-tag.

¡ For a packet from a CE:

- If the peer PE does not require the ingress to rewrite the P-tag, the PE keeps the P-tag unchanged for the packet, and then encapsulates the packet. If the packet contains no P-tag, the PE adds a null label (the label value is 0) into the packet, and then encapsulates the packet.

- If the peer PE requires the ingress to rewrite the P-tag, the PE changes the P-tag to the expected VLAN tag (the tag value might be 0), and then adds a PW label and an outer tag into the packet. If the packet contains no P-tag, the PE adds a VLAN tag expected by the peer PE (the tag value might be 0), and then adds a PW label and an outer tag into the packet.

¡ For a packet to a CE:

- If the access mode is configured as VLAN by using the ac interface command, the PE rewrites or retains the P-tag before forwarding the packet.

- If the access mode is configured as Ethernet by using the ac interface command, the PE removes the P-tag before forwarding the packet.

Ethernet over MPLS supports the following modes:

· Port mode—A Layer 3 Ethernet interface is bound to a PW. Packets received from the Layer 3 Ethernet interface are forwarded through the bound PW. The default PW data encapsulation type for port mode is Ethernet.

Figure 2 Packet encapsulation in port mode

‌

· VLAN mode—A Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface is bound to a PW. Packets received from the VLAN are forwarded through the bound PW. The peer PE can modify the VLAN tag as needed. The default PW data encapsulation type for VLAN mode is VLAN.

· Flexible mode—An Ethernet service instance on a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface is bound to a PW. Packets that are received from the interface and meet the match criteria of the Ethernet service instance are forwarded through the bound PW. You can configure flexible match criteria for the Ethernet service instance. For example, configure the Ethernet service instance to match all packets, tagged packets, or untagged packets. The default PW data encapsulation type for flexible mode is VLAN. Flexible mode can also implement the port and VLAN modes through match criteria configuration.

Control word

The control word field is between the MPLS label stack and the Layer 2 data. It carries control information for the Layer 2 frame, for example, the sequence number.

The control word feature has the following functions:

· Avoids fragment disorder. In multipath forwarding, fragments received might be disordered. The control word feature reorders the fragments according to the sequence number carried in the control word field.

· Identifies the original payload length for packets that include padding.

When the PW data encapsulation type is Ethernet or VLAN, the control word field is optional. You can configure whether to carry the control word field in packets sent on the PW. If you enable the control word feature on both PEs, packets transmitted on the PW carry the control word field. Otherwise, the packets do not carry the control word field.

PW redundancy

PW redundancy provides redundant links between PEs so that the customer networks can communicate when the path over one PW fails. As shown in Figure 3, PE 1 establishes two PWs (one primary and one backup). The CEs communicate through the primary PW. When the primary PW fails, PE 1 brings up the backup PW and forwards packets from CE 1 to CE 2 through the backup PW. When CE 2 receives the packets, it updates its MAC address table, so that packets from CE 2 to CE 1 also travel through the backup PW. Only static PWs and LDP PWs support PW redundancy.

Figure 3 PW redundancy

‌

The MPLS L2VPN determines whether the primary PW fails according to the LDP session status or the BFD result. The backup PW is used when one of the following conditions exists:

· The public tunnel of the primary PW is deleted, or BFD detects that the public tunnel has failed.

· The primary PW is deleted because the LDP session between PEs goes down, or BFD detects that the primary PW has failed.

· A manual PW switchover is performed.

A PW can be in either of the following states:

· Active—The PW is in active state and can forward packets.

· Standby—The PW is in standby state and cannot forward packets.

LDP PWs support the independent and master/slave PW redundancy operation modes.

· Independent mode—The two PEs of a PW use LDP to advertise their respective PW active/standby state to each other. A PW can forward traffic only when it is up and active at both ends of the PW. In this mode, make sure both PEs of a PW use the independent PW redundancy operation mode.

· Master/slave mode—One PE of a PW operates as the master node and the other PE operates as the slave node. The master PE determines the PW active/standby state and then uses LDP to advertise the PW state to the slave PE. The slave PE uses the same PW state as the master PE based on the information received from the master PE. In this way, the master and slave PEs for the set of redundant PWs can use the same active PW to forward user packets.

A slave node does not advertise the PW active/standby state to the master node, and the master node ignores the PW active/standby state received from the slave nodes.

Multi-segment PW

Working mechanism

A multi-segment PW includes multiple concatenated static or LDP PWs. Creating two PWs for a cross-connect on a PE can concatenate the two PWs. Upon receiving a packet from one PW, the PE removes the tunnel ID and PW label of the packet, adds the PW label of the other PW, and forwards the packet over the public tunnel. Only static and LDP PWs can form a multi-segment PW.

As shown in Figure 4, to create a multi-segment PW between PE 1 and PE 4, you can concatenate PW 1 and PW 2 on PE 2, and PW 2 and PW 3 on PE 3.

Figure 4 Multi-segment PW

‌

Multi-segment PWs include intra-domain multi-segment PWs and inter-domain multi-segment PWs.

Intra-domain multi-segment PW

An intra-domain multi-segment PW has concatenated PWs within an AS. You can create an intra-domain multi-segment PW between two PEs that have no public tunnel to each other.

As shown in Figure 5, there is no public tunnel between PE 1 and PE 4. There is a public tunnel between PE 1 and PE 2 and a public tunnel between PE 2 and PE 4. To create an intra-domain multi-segment PW between PE 1 and PE 4, you can perform the following operations:

1. Create a PW between PE 1 and PE 2 (PW 1) and a PW between PE 2 and PE 4 (PW 2).

2. Concatenate the two PWs on PE 2.

Intra-domain multi-segment PWs can fully use existing public tunnels to reduce end-to-end public tunnels.

Figure 5 Intra-domain multi-segment PW

‌

Inter-domain multi-segment PW

An inter-domain multi-segment PW has concatenated PWs in different ASs, and is a method for inter-AS option B networking.

As shown in Figure 6, to create an inter-domain multi-segment PW between PE 1 and PE 2 in different ASs, you can perform the following operations:

· Concatenate PW 1 and PW 2 on ASBR 1.

· Concatenate PW 2 and PW 3 on ASBR 2.

Figure 6 Inter-domain multi-segment PW

‌

VCCV

Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) is an OAM feature for L2VPN. It verifies the connectivity of PWs on the data plane. VCCV includes the following modes:

· Manual mode—Use the ping mpls pw command to manually test the connectivity of a PW.

· Auto mode—Configure BFD or Raw BFD to automatically test the connectivity of a PW.

For more information about VCCV, see "Configuring MPLS OAM."

Binding an AC to a cross-connect

About binding an AC to a cross-connect

When you bind an AC to a cross-connect, you can associate Track with the AC. Then, the AC is up only when one or more of the associated track entries are positive.

Associating Track with an AC helps detecting AC failure. For example, when an AC is a VE-L2VPN interface, the interface will not go down upon a link failure because the interface is a virtual interface. To resolve the problem, you can associate Track with the AC to detect failures on the link that connects the PE-agg to the L3VPN or IP backbone. When a failure occurs on the link, the VE-L2VPN interface is set to down. Consequently, the PW bound to the AC goes down. If the PW has a backup PW, traffic can be switched to the backup PW. For more information about VE-L2VPN interfaces and L2VPN access to L3VPN or IP backbone, see "Configuring L2VPN access to L3VPN or IP backbone."

Restrictions and guidelines for binding an AC to a cross-connect

This task is mutually exclusive with Ethernet link aggregation. If a Layer 3 or Layer 2 Ethernet interface has been added to a link aggregation group, you cannot bind the Layer 3 interface or an Ethernet service instance on the Layer 2 interface to a cross-connect, and vice versa.

Binding a Layer 3 interface to a cross-connect

Example: Configuring an inter-domain multi-segment PW

Network configuration

PE 1 and ASBR 1 belong to AS 100. PE 2 and ASBR 2 belong to AS 200.

Set up an inter-domain multi-segment PW (a method for inter-AS Option B networking) within the backbone to allow communication between CE 1 and CE 2.

Configure the inter-domain multi-segment PW as follows:

· Configure LDP PWs between PE 1 and ASBR 1, and between PE 2 and ASBR 2, and configure public tunnels through LDP to carry the PWs.

· Configure an LDP PW between ASBR 1 and ASBR 2. Advertise labeled IPv4 routes between ASBR 1 and ASBR 2 through BGP to set up the public tunnel to carry the LDP PW.

· Concatenate the two PWs on ASBR 1.

· Concatenate the two PWs on ASBR 2.
