ASR903 AToM

When configuring REP with trunk in place on ASR903 , I cannot use xconnect (Cisco TAC) So my only option is vfi

 

You need to configure l2vpn vfi instead of l2vpn xconnectTake a look at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/xe-3s/asr903/mp-l2-vpns-xe-3s-asr903-book/mp-vpls.html

 

I’d use the following config for the service instances and the L2VPNI guess you can’t use the service instance in the L2VPN, because of the bridge-domain command inside the service instance.

service instance 1 ethernet  encapsulation dot1q 100,200,300  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric l2vpn xconnect context L2VPNmember GigabitEthernet0/0/0 service instance 1member GigabitEthernet0/1/0 service instance 1member pseudowire 20 Maybe the trunk keyword in the service instance plays some role..

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how it would look like using the “old-style”

 

ASR903

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0

service instance trunk 1 ethernet

encapsulation dot1q 100,200,300

rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric

xconnect 2.2.2.2 20 encapsulation mpls

! interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0

!  service instance trunk 1 ethernet

!    encapsulation dot1q 100,200,300

!    rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric

!    xconnect 2.2.2.2 40 encapsulation mpls

! — config related to backup PW–

Also on ME I’d recommend using xconnect under the service instance rather than attaching the service instance to a BD and configuring xconnect under the VLAN interface. Because if you attach a service instance to a BD by default MAC learning is in place and you don’t want that for a simple p2p PW (MAC learning can be disabled using cmd: ” no mac learning” under the BD config).

ME3600

interface GigabitEthernet0/x

service instance trunk 1 ethernet

encapsulation dot1q 100,200,300

rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric

xconnect 1.1.1.1 20 encapsulation mpls

!     backup peer 1.1.1.1 40 encapsulation mpls

! — config related to backup PW–
