Hi Pshem,
Isn't the "prefix-length-size 2" the problem?
>From Cisco web page:
Interoperability Between Cisco IOS XR and Cisco IOS on VPLS LDP Signaling
The Cisco IOS Software encodes the NLRI length in the fist byte in bits
format in the BGP Update message. However, the Cisco IOS XR Software
interprets the NLRI length in 2 bytes. Therefore, when the BGP neighbor with
VPLS-VPWS address family is configured between the IOS and the IOS XR, NLRI
mismatch can happen, leading to flapping between neighbors. To avoid this
conflict, IOS supports prefix-length-size 2 command that needs to be enabled
for IOS to work with IOS XR. When the prefix-length-size 2 command is
configured in IOS, the NLRI length is encoded in bytes. This configuration
is mandatory for IOS to work with IOS XR.
This is a sample IOS configuration with the prefix-length-size 2 command:
router bgp 1
address-family l2vpn vpls
neighbor 5.5.5.2 activate
neighbor 5.5.5.2 prefix-length-size 2 --------> NLRI length = 2 bytes
exit-address-family

Subject: [c-nsp] ASR9k to Me3600x VPLS
Hi,
I hope that collective knowledge can help me here.
We're trying to build a simple VPLS between an ASR9k (IOS XR 4.2.3) and
ME3600x (IOS 15.3(1)S) using BGP autodiscovery and LDP for signaling.
THe VPLS is not coming up,as the pseudowires are not up, I've located the
issue to the control word - the 9k runs with 'disabled' whilst the ME3600x
runs on autosense and that is failing as it results on 'control word on':
ME3600X:

Does anyone have it going between the 9k and ME3600x?
