I had a similar issue with l2vpn traffic. ME3600 efp+xconnect to ASR
bridge-group and then to a local L3-interface.
Enabling control-word on the ASR (4.2.3 almost all SMUs) solved the
problem. ME3600X version 15.3(2)S.
! ASR9K
l2vpn
pw-class mpls_cw
encapsulation mpls
control-word
!
bridge group test
bridge-domain test111
neighbor 1.1.1.111 pw-id 88888
pw-class mpls_cw
!
This made the pw link-up with control-word enabled on the ME3600X.
! ME3600X
sh mpls l2transport vc 88888 detail
...
Control Word: On (configured: autosense)
...
!
Thanks goes to samallis for helping out on this one!
