The following fields require specific input (there are no defaults) to configure a basic VPLS service:
Customer ID (for more information see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Services Overview Guide)
For a local service, configure two SAPs, specifying local access ports and encapsulation values.
For a distributed service, configure a SAP and an SDP for each far-end node.
The following example shows a configuration of a local VPLS service on ALA-1.
