[c-nsp] VPLS between ME3600X and Brocade XMR

[Darren O'Connor]

Hi all.

I'm trying to get a working VPLS between a ME3600X and a Brocade Netiron. I've gone through a load of different configs but I keep winding up in the same error at the end:

ME3600X#sh mpls l2transport vc detail
Local interface: VFI DARREN-TESTING vfi up
  Interworking type is Ethernet
  Destination address: 217.196.224.61, VC ID: 3200, VC status: down
    Last error: MPLS dataplane reported a fault to the nexthop

I've checked the dataplane to ensure my MTUs/labels/etc are all fine and I can't see anything standing out.

This is my IOS config:
l2 vfi DARREN-TESTING manual TESTLAB
 vpn id 3200
 bridge-domain 150
 neighbor 192.168.224.61 encapsulation mpls
!
interface Tunnel0
 description par2.lem1

 description MPLS INTERFACE

 ip ospf 1 area 0
 mpls traffic-eng tunnels
!
interface Vlan150
 mtu 3000
 no ip address
 xconnect vfi DARREN-TESTING


The Netiron config is like so:
 vpls DARREN-TESTING 3200
  vpls-peer 192.168.224.1
  vpls-mtu 3000
  vlan 150
   tagged ethe 2/20

I've not shown the actual LSP config but the LSPs are up on both.

Has anyone managed to get martini VPLS working between these two boxes?

Thanks

Darren
