[c-nsp] L2TPv3 pseudowire + BVI

[Stefano Sasso]

Hello,

  Is there a way or simple solution to terminate a bunch of "plain" L2TPv3
pseudowires to a BVI, to have a sort of VPLS? (VPLS/MPLS is not an option
in my setup).

My deal is to have a distributed L2 architecture (I have a protocol that
works only on L2), and it must traverse a non-ethernet IP based network.
(traffic is quite low - max 1 mbps)

It can easily done with a simple linux box, terminating l2tpv3 tunnels to a
bridge interface, but I would like to do that on a cisco device.



A very dirty solution can be to have a set of sub-interfaces (with
xconnect) and a cable to another interface on the same router, having
sub-interfaces terminated on a BVI.

Something like that:

GigaEthernet 0/0 is cabled to GigaEthernet 0/1



interface Giga 0/0.1301

  encap dot1q 1301

  xconnect 10.10.13.1 1301 pw-class pw1301



interface gig 0/0.1302

  encap dot1q 1302

  xconnect 10.10.13.2 1302 pw-class pw1302



interface gig 0/1.1301

  encap dot1q 1301

  bridge-group 1



interface gig 0/1.1302

  encap dot1q 1302

  bridge-group 1



bridge 1 protocol ieee

bridge 1 route ip



interface BVI 1

  ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0





Is there a simpler way to accomplish that?



thanks in advance,



stefano
