This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure SDPs and provides the CLI commands. For more information about service configuration, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Services Overview Guide.
Consider the following SDP characteristics:
Configure GRE, MPLS, MPLS-TP, or L2TPv3 SDPs.
Each distributed service must have an SDP defined for every remote SR to provide Epipe, VPLS, or mirrored services.
A distributed service must be bound to an SDP. By default, no SDP is associated with a service. After an SDP is created, services can be associated with that SDP.
An SDP is not specific to any one service or any type of service. An SDP can have more than one service bound to it.
When using L2TPv3, MPLS-TP, or LDP IPv6 LSP SDPs in a remote mirroring solution, configure the destination node with remote-src>spoke-sdp entries. For all other types of SDPs use remote-src>far-end entries.
To configure an MPLS SDP, LSPs must be configured first and then the LSP-to-SDP association must be explicitly created.
