Figure 1 shows an example of a distributed Epipe service configuration between two routers, identifying the service and customer IDs, and the unidirectional SDPs required to communicate to the far-end routers.
A spoke-SDP is treated like the equivalent of a traditional bridge ‟port”, where flooded traffic received on the spoke-SDP is replicated on all other ‟ports” (other spoke and mesh SDPs or SAPs) and not transmitted on the port it was received.
Use the following CLI syntax to create a spoke-SDP binding with an Epipe service.
CLI Syntax:
config>service# epipe service-id [customer customer-id]
— spoke-sdp sdp-id:vc-id [vc-type {ether | vlan}]
— vlan-vc-tag 0..4094
— egress
— filter {ip ip-filter-id}
— vc-label egress-vc-label
— ingress
— filter {ip ip-filter-id}
— vc-label ingress-vc-label
— no shutdown
The following example shows the command usage to bind an Epipe service between ALA-1 and ALA-2. This example assumes the SAPs have already been configured (see Distributed Epipe SAPs).
A:ALA-1>config>service# epipe 5500
config>service>epipe# spoke-sdp 2:123
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# egress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 5500
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 6600
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# no shutdown
ALA-2>config>service# epipe 5500
config>service>epipe# spoke-sdp 2:456
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# egress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# vc-label 6600
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>egress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# ingress
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# vc-label 5500
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress# exit
config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# no shutdown
The following example shows the SDP binding for the Epipe service between ALA-1 and ALA-2:
