[c-nsp] MPLS routed pseudowire between ASR9k and 7600 with LAN cards

[Adam Vitkovsky]

Hi 
I haven't played with PWHE so I don't know why there is a need for
generic-interface-lists anyway. 
I mean if you want to terminate the PW locally on the ASR the ip address is
enough isn't it? (also I found that interface-lists are supported on CRS
only).

Hi,

 

There is a need to extend L2 connections from an existing 7600 with LAN
cards to a new ASR9001 and configure IP address on that connection.

 

If we look for link redundancy and rule out conventional switching and
spanning tree, to my understanding this looks something like "Pseudowire
Headend".

 

 

ASR9k:

l2vpn

xconnect group test

p2p test

interface PW-Ether555

 neighbor 192.168.0.1 pw-id 555

 

interface PW-Ether555

mtu 9216

vrf MGMT

ipv4 address 172.30.2.1 255.255.255.252

attach generic-interface-list test

 

generic-interface-list test

interface Bundle-Ether1

interface TenGigE0/0/0/1

 

7600:

interface TenGigabitEthernet3/4.555

encapsulation dot1Q 555

 xconnect 192.168.0.2 555 encapsulation mpls

mtu 9202

 

The problem here is that ASR thinks that everything is fine:

 

Group test, XC test, state is up; Interworking none

AC: PW-Ether555, state is up

Type PW-Ether

Interface-list: test

Replicate status:

Te0/0/0/1: success

BE1: success

MTU 9202; interworking none

Internal label: 16020

Statistics:

packets: received 0, sent 60

bytes: received 0, sent 2532

PW: neighbor 

192.168.0.1 

, PW ID 555, state is up ( established )

PW class not set, XC ID 0xc0000001

Encapsulation MPLS, protocol LDP

Source address 172.30.0.2

PW type Ethernet, control word disabled, interworking none

PW backup disable delay 0 sec

Sequencing not set

However at the same time 7600 is unhappy:

 

BIP-STO1#sh xconnect int te3/4.555 detail 

Legend: XC ST=Xconnect State S1=Segment1 State S2=Segment2 State

UP=Up DN=Down AD=Admin Down IA=Inactive

SB=Standby HS=Hot Standby RV=Recovering NH=No Hardware

 

XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2

------+---------------------------------+--+--------------------------------

DN ac Te3/4.555:555(Eth VLAN) UP mpls 192.168.0.2:555 DN

Interworking: ethernet Local VC label 45 

Remote VC label 16021

 

What am I missing here? Is this even the right approach to reach the goal?

 

I succeeded in a similar task where there was HP 5800 at the other end of L2
circuit. I used bridge domain, VPLS and BVI interface in that case.
Unfortunately VPLS is not an option for 7600 with LAN cards.
