Hi,

don't configure a separate bridge-domain. Your VPLS instance bridges.
Just put the interfaces in your vpls instance as different sites:

 routing-instances {
     vpls-red {
         instance-type vpls;
         vlan-id none;
         routing-interface irb.351;
         route-distinguisher 150.1.3.1:351;
         vrf-target target:351:351;
         protocols {
             vpls {
                 no-tunnel-services;
                 site 2 {
                     site-identifier 2;
                     interface ge-1/0/0.351;
                 }
                 site X {
                     site-identifier X;
                     interface ge-1/1/0.352;
                 }
                 connectivity-type irb;
             }
         }
     }
 }

Be warned: this assumed that the two interfaces are not connected. If
they are connected you would create a loop.

Regards

Sebastian
