Can Cisco 7200VXR support for VPLS?

Question

Hi all,
I check Cisco Nagivator Feature to find which IOS support for VPLS on Cisco Router 7200VXR and found that IOS image "c7200-spservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRD.bin" can do it as below;
- VPLS Autodiscovery, BGP-based
- VPLS Multiple VCs per Spoke
When I try to configure Virtual Forwarding Instance, it's not allow me to configure the above features (VPLS Autodiscovery: BGP Based, Manual Configuration of VPLS) and only support point-to-point configuration mode you can see it as below

I can use "l2 vfi VPLS_A point-to-point" for Layer 2 VPN Pseudo-Wire Switching but not for VPLS multipoint configuration mode. Can Cisco 7200VXR support VPLS on this IOS image? If it can't, which IOS image can do it on this platform.

Answer 1

VPLS is not supported on 7200, you can configure point to point here but not point to multipoint, you will have to move to 7600 for that.
