[j-nsp] VPLS LM Status?

[Marlon Duksa]

Does anyone know why would I get the LM status (local site ID not minimum
designated) on my VPLS connection.
I have two sites configured on a single PE in the same VPLS.
One site is coming up just fine, but the other is not.

The remote side for the 'not up' connection is complaining with the RM
status (remote site ID not minimum designated).

What does this 'ID not minimun designated' mean?
My sites ID are unique withing the VPLS and within the range that is defined
for the site-range.

This is the config on my local router:

admin at mx-re0# show routing-instances
vpls {
    instance-type vpls;
    interface ge-0/1/1.0;
    interface ge-8/2/0.0;
    interface ge-5/3/4.0;
    route-distinguisher 100:100;
    vrf-target target:200:200;
    protocols {
        vpls {
            site-range 10;
            no-tunnel-services;
            site green {
                site-identifier 1;
                interface ge-0/1/1.0;
                interface ge-8/2/0.0;
            }
            site multi {
                site-identifier 4;
                interface ge-5/3/4.0;
            }
        }
    }
}




And this is the status:
