[j-nsp] VPLS stuck in VC-Dn - inet.3 lookup problem

[Alberto Santos]

Hi,

I'm set upping VPLS + Inter AS option B with the following topology and I'm
noticing a lookup problem between ASBRs.

LAN |--(AC)-----PE-----P----ASBR1----ASBR2----(AC)------| LAN

since I'm only running eBGP family l2vpn, ASBR2 does not have any other
route in inet3 that could be use to bring the vpls connection up.

I tried to setup a /32 static route, it fixed the VPLS singling, but I'm
still not learning any MAC address through VPLS.

has anyone experienced that before?
