Example dynamic MS-PW configuration

This section describes an example of how to configure Dynamic MS-PWs for a VLL service between a set of Nokia nodes. The network consists of two T-PEs and two nodes, in the role of S-PEs, as shown in the following figure. Each 7750 SR, 7450 ESS, or 7950 XRS peers with its neighbor using LDP and BGP.

Figure: Dynamic MS-PW example

The example uses BGP to route dynamic MS-PWs and T-LDP to signal them. Therefore, each node must be configured to support the MS-PW address family under BGP, and BGP and LDP peerings must be established between the T-PEs/S-PEs. The appropriate BGP export policies must also be configured.

Next, pseudowire routing must be configured on each node. This includes an S-PE address for every participating node, and one or more local prefixes on the T-PEs. MS-PW paths and static routes may also be configured.

When this routing and signaling infrastructure is established, spoke-sdp-fecs can be configured on each of the T-PEs, as follows:
