[j-nsp] Logical Systems with VPLS using only lt interfaces

[craig washington]

All,


I am setting up some logical systems on an MX480.

The question I have is, has anyone run across an issue when trying to get sites to communicate using VPLS b/c of duplicate mac-address?

Pings of course don't work but the control plane looks good but I am concerned about the mac.

You can see from the snapshot below I am learning the same mac off of the "local" interface on CPE50 and CPE60

Hope this is enough and isn't too convoluted.
Thanks for any assistance.
