VPLS problem

Hi dear all
Currently we are facing an issue in a VPLS network and I will appreciate your help if you know the solution, thanks in advance.
We have the following topology :

All routers (PA,PB,PC) have Sup32-8GE-3B without  any extra line cards . We configure VPLS on all routers. All routers  have the following running configuration . Also verifications show that  everything is ok .
1.    Is it possible to configure VPLS on Sup32-GE-3B without any extra line cards?
2.    Why configuration has been done but :
         a.    There is not communication between 3 Cust-A sites (L2 connectivity).
         b.    The following error message displayed when add “IP MPLS” command for uplinks.
MPLS CONFIG on LAN NOT RECOMMENDED: Cross-connect is currently  configured on interface vlans   and WAN interfaces are facing the MPLS  core. By configuring MPLS on LAN interfaces, AToM on vlan interfaces may  be non functional.

Hi,
If you need to run VPLS then you core facing card need to do imposition/disposition. I doubt if the sup32 gig ports can do so. For VPLS to work on 7600 any one of following card is needed.
PWAN2 (OSM)
ES+ (ES40)
ES20
SIP-400
SIP-600
If you have say a lan card like 6748 or 6724 towards core and try to bring up VPLS, it will allow you to provision but VC might not come up. The other message you are getting is normal when you try to enable mpls on a lan card. I think this can be safely ignored.
Thanks,
Madhu

  • ME-3600-X VPLS: rewrite incoming tag push: problem

    Here is a simple config:

    l2 vfi PPPoE autodiscovery
     vpn id 2
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1

     mtu 9000
     no ip address
     xconnect vfi PPPoE
    OSPF anb BGP for "autodiscovery" is also set up and working.
    Problem is what data being sent over pseudowire with zero VLAN ID outer tag instead of 101. Figured it out with wiresharking the link between ME3600 and other router (ASR).
    Is that a bug or do i do something wrong? I basically want to encapsulate data coming on Gi0/1 into QinQ frames and terminate them on other router.

    What version are you running on ME3600 and ASR?
    What kind of VC(type 5 or type 4) is negotiated between the 2 boxes(sh xconnect all detail)
    Is ME3600 receiving untagged traffic?
    The behaviour with PW VC type 4 has changed after 15.3S release.
    Previously the tag added depended on the Bridge-domain but now the encapsulation of the
    packet is retained. And for untagged packets a dummy tag with vlan-id 0 is added.

  • QoS Problem ( nt getting same DSCP marking at diff.. vpls customer sites

    Hi we are having 3 locations A , B & C
    we are providing l2 vpls service to customer .
    customer is connected to our mpls cloud via EoSDH on my mpls switch on locations A , B & C.
    customer is marking his traffic with DSCP bit XX from Location A when customer checking the traffic
    at location B via packet sniffer ethereal they are not getting the same DSCP Tagging .
    can anyone help me to find out the possible cause of this .
    As far as i know in VPLS services there is limitation of provide multi-QoS.
    But here in this case i m only trusting DSCP on the Lastmile port as well as on the trunks connected from my switches to my PEs .
    so customer tagging should reach from location A to Location B .
    Here we go:
    CPE-A------CPE-A-SW--------SP-SW-A----PE-A======MPLS CLOUD=====PE-B------SP-SW-B-------CPE-B-SW-------CPE-B
    here :CPE-A = customer router
    CPE-A-SW = 4500
    SP-SW-A = 4500
    PE-A = 7600
    PE-B = 7600
    SP-SW-B = 3500
    CPE-B-SW = 4500
    CPE-B = customer router

    I m getting blew output on the trunk interface connected to my PE on both the switches.

  • Performance end to end testing and comparison between MPLS VPN and VPLS VPN

    Hi,
    I am student of MSc Network Security and as for my project which is " Comparison between MPLS L3 VPN and VPLS VPN, performance monitoring by end to end testing " I have heard a lot of buzz about VPLS as becoming NGN, I wanted to exppore that and produce a comparison report of which technology is better. To accomplish this I am using GNS3, with respect to the MPLS L3 VPN lab setup that is not a problem but I am stuck at the VPLS part how to setup that ? I have searched but unable to find any cost effective mean, even it is not possible in the university lab as we dont have 7600 series
    I would appreciate any support, guidence, advice.
    Thanks
    Shahbaz

    Hi Shahbaz,
    I am not completely sure I understand your request.
    MPLS VPN and VPLS are 2 technologies meant to address to different needs, L3 VPN as opposed as L2 VPN. Not completely sure how you would compare them in terms of performance. Would you compare the performance of a F1 racing car with a Rally racing car?
    From the ISP point of view there is little difference (if we don't want to consider the specific inherent peculiarities of each technology) , as in the very basic scenarios we can boil down to the following basic operations for both:
    Ingress PE impose 2 labels (at least)
    Core Ps swap top most MPLS label
    Egress PE removes last label exposing underlying packet or frame.
    So whether the LSRs deal with underlying L2 frames or L3 IP packets there is no real difference in terms of performance (actually the P routers don't even notice any difference).
    About simulators, I am not aware of anyone able to simulate a L2 VPN (AtoM or VPLS).

  • Won't work with Sony VPL-PX20 projector

    When starting up while connected to the projector the initial gray screen displays and the projector shows input, but as soon as it switches to the background picture during start-up the projector display goes black and displays "No Input".
    I've tried this with two different 15.2" Al PBs and the same thing happens, or doesn't happen as the case may be. (c;
    I've test these two Al PBs with our three other projectors which are older Epson and InFocus models and they work fine. I've also tested the Sony VPL-PX20 projector with various other non-DVI Ti PBs and a Dell laptop and the projector again works as it should.
    I know if I call Sony looking for support they will say it's an Apple problem and if I call Apple they'll say it's a Sony problem. The thing that makes me suspect it's an Apple problem is that this problem only presents itself on two similar PowerBooks that only really differ in age – one is new and the other is 8 months old. The projector works with other PBs, a desktop, a TV tuner and a DVD player with no problems.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be or how I might go about resolving it?
    Thanks. Chris

    Hi Kevin,
    Two suggestions:
    Make sure that the camcorder is connected to a power outlet, not running just on battery power;
    As alluded to by thesurreyfriends, try a different FireWire cable. If you have a Rocketfish cable, it has been known to cause problems. I have a Belkin 9 pin to 4 pin (FW 800/400) which works perfectly with iMovie '11, using my older Sony DCR-TRV20E.

    EDIT: I don't have a Thunderbolt port on my earlier model MacBook Pro, so my situation is different to yours.

  • I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency

    I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency.
    Working at a university here in Brazil Unicamp.
    Here we have several projectors model VPL-ES4, we were using this projector with win7 however a few days they all stopped to show the image of computers accusing problem in frequency, we made all the alternatives so that One can be reestablished TRANSMISSION signal however all were in vain, reading in many forums found equal to our cases and the solution presented was to use a computer with win98 and it really worked, but with the end of support for this version of the system we are failing to use it, I wonder how we can solve this problem and why even this ocrrendo.
    I thank you in advance for help and attention

    Yes. NVIDIA+CRT+VGA cable = bad EDID.
    Here's what you can do. Fully remove the xorg.conf file. Regenerate them using nvidia-xconfig, Open the nvidia's GUI as root and just click "Save configuration", or something among those lines. Google your monitor's manual and find the RIGHT vertical and horizontal sync frequency ranges. After setting them in your xorg.conf log-out and log-in again. Go to the nvidia settings gui, you should be able to use a higher resolution.
    I've tried this a few times, but always end up with a "Signal out of range".  I think the trick is finding the correct ranges.  My monitor is a Soyo Topaz S 24", and I can't find any official manual or specs online.  What I have found is this:
    http://www.thinkcomputers.org/old/index … ews&id=733
    That review indicates:
    Frequency: Fh: 30 kHz - 80 kHz; Fv: 50 Hz - 75 Hz
    So I set:
    HorizSync 30-80
    VertRefresh 50-75
    Signal out of range, which is annoying because in order to fix it I either have to reboot using a live CD, mount the drive, or ssh into it.  Whoever started the trend of disabling ctl alt backspace to kill an xsession is not my friend...
    Some other forum posts about this monitor indicate that there may have been two variants, but I can't find a different set of specs.

    my problem is that when i configure VPLS according to CISCO-Documents, the VFI and L2 VCs comes up,
    but i can't ping between end points located in Customer-Switches.
    Is any problem with Hardware-Configuration, IOS or platform support ?
    I have just studied the following link about this, but i'm not sure about that. (at least i can't believe that ! )

    Hi Xander
    First many thanks for your assistance
    Have recheked CEs config and they are straight forward. [trunk interface allowing all vlans]
    However I have added CE3/PE3 to topolgoy and results were somehow interesting
    CE1(ME3800) -- PE1 (ASR9K)  --- PE2 (7600) -- PE3 (7600) -- CE3 (ME3800)
                                                                    |
                                                            CE2(ME3800)
    Now both CE1/CE2 can ping CE3 but still no communication between CE1 & CE2
    Dont know what could be the difference between CE2 & CE3. Only thing that comes to my mind is that with CE2, PE2 is directly connected to PE1. Dont know if this could be a problem or not as in this case MPLS label should be pop but still there is VC label
    Another thing I removed "rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric" from all PEs cause with this command CE3 (only) was receiving BPDU with different VLAN !      [dont know if this behavior is normal or not]

    I think you have confused things a bit. 
    So on PE1
    you will add another vlan tag of 100 when traffic ENTERS the interface (Ingress).
    This gets to PE2 (hopefully)
    the process works in reverse. So you would need 
    encapsulation dot1q 30
    rewrite ingress tag push dot1q 100 symmetric
    Traffic will enter the service instance and dot1q tag of 100 will be removed.

  • Disabling split horizon for H-VPLS on 7609

    Hi,
    We installed a new 7609 in our lab for doing H-VPLS interop. The sw Version is IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-PSV-M), Version 12.2(18)SXD7.
    I do not see the "no-split-horizon" option when trying to configure the remote spoke PE.

  • [solved]VPLS can not activate

    Hello guys,
    I meet a pretty strange problem. I use ME36600X to test the vpls. And i cant activate the vfi.It said "Maximum number of VFIs 0 have been configured."
    And the other ME3600x have no problem at all.
    Someone know where is the problem?
    The two ME3600x have the exactlly same license and IOS version.
    thanks!
    3600-1(config)#l2 vfi test autodiscovery
    Maximum number of VFIs 0 have been configured.

  • VPLS BGP signaling configuration for L2VPN Inter-AS Option A

    Hi All,
    does someone confirm with me  for VPLS BGP Signaling feature  is available on Cisco ASR 9K XR version right now ? or coming soon ?
    if not, did someone have a fully configuration example ( from end to end, and including MPLS setup ) under IOS version for L2VPN Inter-AS Option A?
    it would be much appreciated if you could share with me !
    Eric

    hello belalcciejo,
    has  your problem been resolved already ? since I am starting work on same setup right now. could you mind share your Cisco end configuration to me without your confidential information?
    thanks, please let me know if possible.

  • VPLS - SPA-4XOC3-POS - Core Facing ?

    Hi NetPros,
    I know this topic has been discussed many times in forum and I could find useful information on specific hardware support in 7604.
    However my requirement is bit strange (as it sounds to me). I have the below hardware:
    7604 chassis
    Sup 720-3B
    SIP 400
    SPA-4XOC3-POS
    WS-X6516A-GBIC
    As I gone through the forum, I understood the only constraint in 7604 with VPLS is that the core facing should be either SIP-400/SIP-600 with Gigi SPA, ES-10G and OSM.
    1. But my problem now is I have SIP-400 with SPA-4XOC3-POS. Can this SPA be used on wan facing side for MPLS to work. To my understanding, core should only do label swapping and not mandatory that core facing should be Gigi.  Though my typical core facing PE (NPEG1 now) side is only on Gigi, in this case of VPLS with 7604 I dont have Gigi and have to purchase so thought if SPA-4XOC3-POS works then atleast I go ahead and test VPLS. Procuring Gigi SPA will take some time due to business approvals.
    2. If only Gigi SPA should be on the core facing side, then which Gigi SPA should be supported. Will 1 Gigi SPA support or I have to go for 10 Gigi SPA?
    thanks
    Arun

    Hi Arun
    --- > Can this SPA be used on wan facing side for MPLS to work. To my understanding, core should only do label swapping and not mandatory that core facing should be Gigi.
    As per my understanding you what to configure VPLS on POS interface facing towards CE.
    Or You want to use POS for Core facing i.e. internal network towards  " P "
    If towards "P" then yes it should work because xconnect vfi require L3 that is IP routing to reach other end and that can possible via static configuration or via BGP auto discovery.
    and If towards CE then i don't think it work. Below is the specification.
    I have not tested but if possible you can check weather you will get any command "xconnect vfi " under POS interface  that connect towards CE.
    As per my understanding you can terminate VPLS link using  Access Port , Trunk Port , Dot1q Tunnel  for CE.
    just check  !!

    int loopback 1
    1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
    And try to configure  xconnect vfi under POS interface . But i don't think because VPLS Provide L2 service .

  • Ethernet over MPLS/VPLS

    Hi,
    I would appreciate if you answer my following questions :
    - As you know EoMPLS is based on physical port, but how about VPLS?
    - Could you tell me minimum router which supports VPLS?
    - Any other solutions for transfer ethernet frames over MPLS except VPLS and EoMPLS?
    - I think VPLS is better EoMPLS because it supports multipoint to multipoint ,is it true? could you please tell me VPLS advantage and disadvatage?
    Regards,
    M.Arshad rad

    Ehlo ,
    1)EoMPLS is available in port and vlan mode.Since VPLS
    is actually using martini encapsulations ( both lasserre and kompella ) it is possible to use raw and tagged modes.
    2)IMHO only Cisco router that supports VPLS now is 7600.Additionaly VFI can be only assigned to SVI.
    3)Juniper CCC ( RSVP based ) - but obviously you won't use it since it's proprietary ( nevertherless it has nice feature like lsp-stiching ) and IOS couldn't signall it .
    4) VPLS is designed to support p-to-mp and therefore
    it's more complex.IF you don't need its features you can stick with raw p2p martini , which is relatively simple and widely implemented ( no problem for example to configure it between ios and junos boxes ).
