H-VPLS/P2MP style functionality with L2TPv3 inside VFI

 I’m trying to lab up a hub and spoke L2 VPN scenario using L2TPv3.

CPEs are ISR G2s such as 1941 and the PE/Hub is an ME3600. I’m not having much luck so I wondered if I’m chasing a ghost; Has anyone used
L2TPv3 xconnects (due to lack of MPLS) into a VFI on an ME3600 to get this scenario to work?

Perhaps you used something else that worked? Or do you think this simply can’t be done?

When mixing L2TPv3 with VFIs, is the logic present to do things like MAC learning, I’ve never tried this without MPLS and/or BGP.


Something like;


pseudowire-class l2tpv3-class
 encapsulation l2tpv3
 interworking ethernet
 ip local interface looopback 0

l2 vfi TEST manual
 vpn id 100
  bridge-domain 200
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 pw-class l2tpv3-class
  neighbor 2.2.2.2 pw-class l2tpv3-class

int gi0/2
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allow vlan none
  service instance 200 ethernet
  uncapsulation untagged
  bridge-domain 200

int vlan200
 no ip address

ASR1k capacity/operate

It would be a single pass through the QFP. The SIP could also be a limiting factor, but since you are split between SIPs that shouldn’t be an issue.
The SIP 40 has 2x 40Gig lanes on the backplane. Are you doing crypto or anything like that which would impact performance?There is a great Cisco Live preso on the ASR1k architecture that might help you get some ammo to go back to TAC with.

According to cisco’s literature the 40G capacity is outbound direction only.
This includes traffic replication so you could have 1G in and 40G out or
50G in and 40G out but you should be able to get 40G out unless you are
using features that are causing core congestion on the QFP (which is possible).

Cisco to support flow spec

Looks like 5.2.0 has been available since July.

 7.3, last I heard..

Also, is this RFC 5575-compliant flowspec?

 yes, with some recent enhancements to the specs (v6 support, relaxed origin check, extra redirect options, and a few more)

opensource solutions, scapy will probably be able

to do the job.

Sorry if it is not what you are searching for.

So I have started playing with this, I think it should do we you want (I have the same requirement);http://traffic.comics.unina.it/software/ITG/

Some open source software I am writing can do 1Gbps (and likely beyond, I don’t have any 10G NICs to test on, yet!), although it’s for testing at the Ethernet layer so not really applicable here;

https://github.com/jwbensley/Etherate

One of the main features I am working on now (as I’m still writing the initial version) is loading the frame payload from file so that payload data *could* be UDP but it’s not really ment for testing higher than Ethernet and/or MPLS level.

Cheers,
James.

Scapy [1] should be able to do that easily, so should mausezahn [2]. Of course you don’t open use regular TCP/UDP socket API for this, but some raw form of it and generate the whole packet in userspace.[1] http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/

VPLS hub & spoke

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/xe-3s/mp-l2-vpns-xe-3s-book/vpls-auto-bgp-xe.html

Hi everyone.  I’m trying to understand vpls with a hub & spoke topology

a little better but I’m having a hard time grasping which site(s) need
to have the no split-horizon configuration added to them.  Not sure if
this is even possible with the autodiscovery option vs using manual.
So right now I’ve got four sites setup in a full mesh with the following
configuration on each PE router (ME3600X):

l2 vfi TEST1 autodiscovery
vpn id 3000
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
service instance 3000 ethernet
encapsulation dot1q 3000
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
bridge-domain 3000
!
!
interface Vlan3000
no ip address
xconnect vfi TEST1
!

So if I want sites 2, 3 and 4 to not be able to talk to each other
except by going via site 1 what configuration change would I need to
do?  I thought that adding “split horizon” to the bridge-domain under
the service instance was the way to go but I’m not so sure.

Ideally, I’d like a scenario where I can have one site as the hub and be
able to take advantage of the autodiscovery for instances when a new
spoke is added to the domain.  Granted only the hub is benefiting from
this auto discovery but does that mean that the spokes should be
configured as “manual”?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jose

Jose,

On the hub device you would have a VFI instance.
The spokes would be configured just as if they were running a point to point xconnect (i.e. xconnect statement on the service-instace)
On the hub, under the VFI, you need to configure your pseudowires as “neighbors” – this is where you would put the no-split-horizon statements for the spokes:

l2 vfi aaa manual
vpn id 1
neighbor 1.1.1.1 encapsulation mpls no-split-horizon
neighbor 2.2.2.2 encapsulation mpls no-split-horizon

Ahh I see, thanks for the examples Arie.  Makes sense now.
Jose

Jose,If you are using BGP auto-discovery then you could look into disabling ”
*auto-route-target*” and play with route-targets import/export to have Hub and Spoke topology like you do for L3VPN’s.

Uitschakelen Windows tunnel interfaces

https://www.asmus-consulting.com/en/blog-category-active-directory-and-windows-server/item/41-disable-ipv6-tunnel-adapter

Use these 3 lines to disable the Adapters by netsh:

1 netsh int ipv6 isatap set state disabled
2 netsh int ipv6 6to4 set state disabled
3 netsh interface teredo set state disable



You can also disable Tunnel Adapters by GPO
– open Group Policy Management Editor
– select an existing or create a new GPO
– Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> TCPIP Settings -> IPv6 Transition Technologies






Configure all of the Settings below – enable the Setting but select “disable” within.
– “Set 6to4 State”
– “Set ISATAP State”
– “Set Teredo State”









thats it
