[no] allow-ip-int-bind
config>service>vpls
Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document
This command sets a flag on the VPLS service that allows an IES or VPRN IP interface to attach to the VPLS service to make the VPLS service routable. When the allow-ip-int-bind command is not enabled, the VPLS service cannot be attached to an IP interface.
VPLS Configuration Constraints for Enabling the allow-ip-int-bind Command
When attempting to set the allow-ip-int-bind VPLS flag, the system first checks whether the correct configuration constraints exist for the VPLS service and the network ports. In Release 8.0 the following VPLS features must be disabled or not configured to set the allow-ip-int-bind flag.
SAP ingress QoS policies applied to the VPLS SAPs cannot have MAC match criteria defined.
The VPLS service type cannot be I-VPLS, B-VPLS, or M-VPLS, and it cannot be an I-VPLS service bound to a B-VPLS context.
When the VPLS allow-ip-int-bind flag is set on a VPLS service, the preceding features cannot be enabled on the VPLS service.
VPLS Service Name Bound to IP Interface without the allow-ip-int-bind Flag Set
In the event a service name is applied to a VPLS service, and that service name is also bound to an IP interface but the allow-ip-int-bind flag has not been set on the VPLS service context, the system attempt to resolve the service name between the VPLS service and the IP interface fails. After the allow-ip-int-bind flag is successfully set on the VPLS service, either the service name on the VPLS service must be removed and reapplied, or the IP interface must be reinitialized using the shutdown /no shutdown commands. This causes the system to reattempt the name resolution process between the IP interface and the VPLS service.
The no form of this command resets the allow-ip-int-bind flag on the VPLS service. If the VPLS service currently has an IP interface from an IES or VPRN service attached, the no allow-ip-int-bind command fails. When the allow-ip-int-bind flag is reset on the VPLS service, the configuration and hardware restrictions associated with setting the flag are removed. The port network mode hardware restrictions are also removed.
