[j-nsp] VPLS Between 2 Routers

[Serge Vautour]

If you just want 2 end points, an L2VPN would be much simpler to setup. This works for me:

interfaces {
    ge-1/0/2 {
        mtu 9192;
        encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
        unit 0;
    }
}
routing-instances {
    TEST {
        instance-type l2vpn;
        interface ge-1/0/2.0;
        vrf-target target:123:987700;
        protocols {
            l2vpn {
                encapsulation-type ethernet;
                no-control-word;
                site site1 {
                    site-identifier 1;
                    interface ge-1/0/2.0;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is completely transparent. Any valid ethernet frame with/without a dot1q tag will go through.

Once you add the interface to your site, your config looks similar. Try adding the "vlan-id all" knob under the RI.

  Try adding the interface (ge-0/0/7.0) under the 'site' definition in the
routing instance config.....it's required, as far as I know.  The rest
looks pretty familiar.
