The following fields require specific input (there are no defaults) to configure a basic VPLS service:
Customer ID (refer to Configuring customer accounts)
For a local service, configure two SAPs, specifying local access ports and encapsulation values.
For a distributed service, configure a SAP and an SDP (only for 7210 SAS devices that support MPLS uplinks) for each far-end node.
The svc-sap-type option must be specified at service creation. The default option is any. The following is a sample configuration output of a local VPLS service with a null-star SAP type on ALA-1. This service comprises of a null access SAP and an Uplink LAG SAP.
