Routed VPLS supported functionality and restrictions for both access-uplink and network mode is listed as follows. The following is applicable to both the modes, unless called out explicitly:
On the 7210 SAS-D, 7210 SAS-Dxp, and 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, Routed VPLS can be bound to only IES IP interface. It cannot be bound to VPRN IP interface.
On the 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, routed VPLS can be bound to IES or VPRN IP interface.
On the 7210 SAS-D, 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, only IPv4 addressing and forwarding is supported with Routed VPLS services. IPv6 addressing and forwarding is not supported.
The 7210 SAS-Dxp supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and forwarding with R-VPLS services.
On the 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-Dxp, static ARP cannot be configured with an IES IP interface associated with an R-VPLS, though static MAC can be configured in an R-VPLS service.
On the 7210 SAS-D, 7210 SAS-Dxp, and 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, only static routes are supported. No dynamic routing protocols are supported.
On the 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-Dxp, whenever a VPLS FIB entry is removed either due to user action, aging or mac-move, the corresponding ARP entry whose MAC address matches that of the MAC in the FIB is removed from the ARP cache.
On the 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-Dxp, multiple SAPs configured on the same port cannot be part of the same R-VPLS Service. A single service can only be configured with a single SAP on a specific port. This restriction does not apply to the 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C. On the 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, multiple SAPs configured on the same port can be part of the same service.
The 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C support service MTU configuration for R-VPLS.
On the 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, service-based SHGs are not supported in an R-VPLS service.
