[f-nsp] running vpls with multiple vlans on CES2000

[Lazuardi Nasution]

Hi Igor,

Of course like that. On the given script, you connect two VLAN via
VPLS cloud, you can say it VLAN translation. Sometime I do like this
to connect VLANs which come in to different switches/routers.

You should try Q-in-Q  for transporting user VLANs inside VPLS.
External VLAN is provider VLAN (your side), inner VLAN is user VLAN.
Using more than one VPLS cloud can be used but more administrative
overhead since usually single VPLS cloud is related to single
client/project.

Best regards,
