Distributed VPLS SAPs

To configure a distributed VPLS service, you must configure service entities on originating and far-end nodes. You must use the same service ID on all ends (for example, create a VPLS service ID 9000 on ALA-1, ALA-2, and ALA-3). A distributed VPLS consists of a SAP on each participating node and an SDP bound to each participating node.

For SDP configuration information, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Services Overview Guide. For SDP binding information, see Configuring SDP bindings.

The following example shows a configuration of VPLS SAPs configured for ALA-1, ALA-2, and ALA-3.
