[j-nsp] vpls and virtual switches (vlan-id none) not supported

[jbuesink at jb-internetworking.com]

Hi there,

I have the following issue:

switch1--(ciscoPE)-----(MX80)----switch2
                                              ----switch3

Switch1 is connected to a Cisco PE
Switch2 and switch 2 are connected to a MX80 in the same bridge domain.

The bridge-domain is configured in the virtual-switch and VPLS is activated.

Now the problem is, previously when I did not needed bridging for VPLS
(and this virtual-switches) I had enabled the command "vlan-id none" under
the VPLS routing-instance.

This command ensures that packets send over the VPLS cloud have their
vlan-tag removed.This ensures interop with Cisco.

Now with virtual switches this command is not supported. This means that
the switches behind the MX have connectiviy but not towards the switch
behind the Cisco PE.

How can I resolve this issue?

My config looks like:

ge-1/0/0 {
    native-vlan-id 500;
    speed 100m;
    mtu 1504;
    unit 0 {
        family bridge {
            interface-mode trunk;
            vlan-id-list 500;
        }
    }
}
ge-1/0/1 {
    native-vlan-id 500;
    speed 100m;
    mtu 1504;
    unit 0 {
        family bridge {
            interface-mode trunk;
            vlan-id-list 500;
        }
    }
}

vpls1 {
    instance-type virtual-switch;
    interface ge-1/0/0.0;
    interface ge-1/0/1.0;
    protocols {
        vpls {
            no-tunnel-services;
            vpls-id 500;
            mtu 1600;
            neighbor 10.110.0.2;
          }
    }
    bridge-domains {
        vpls1 {
            domain-type bridge;
            vlan-id 500;
        }
    }
}


Thanks
