[c-nsp] ME3600-ME3800: service-instance & bridge-domain syntax

[Pasquino Andrea]

Hello,

what is the best practice for the configuration of L3VPN on Cisco ME3XXX ?

Old Syntax:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport trunk allowed vlan none
 switchport mode trunk
!
 service instance 2 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 3
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
  bridge-domain 4
!
interface vlan 4
vrf forwarding L3VPN-1
ip address 2.2.2.1 255.255.255.0

New Syntax:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport trunk allowed vlan none
 switchport mode trunk
!
 service instance 2 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 3
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
!
bridge-domain 4
 member GigabitEthernet0/1 service-instance 2

interface vlan 4
vrf forwarding L3VPN-1
ip address 2.2.2.1 255.255.255.0

The new syntax is very much similar to the new syntax for L2VPN, see:

 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/design/guide/ME3600x_Design_Guide.pdf

I'm soon sending in the field some more ME3600, so I'd like to start right.

Best Regards

Andrea
