I-VPLS static config

I-VPLS static config consists of two components: static-mac and static ISIDs that represent a remote B-MAC-ISID combination.

The static-MACs are configured as with Epipe, the special conditional static-mac is used for SPBM PBB B-VPLS SAPs/SDPs that are connected to a remote system. The B-VPLS advertises the static MAC either always or optionally based on a condition of the port forwarding.

The static-isids are created under the B-VPLS SAP/SDPs that are connected to a non-SPBM system. These ISIDs are typically advertised but may be controlled by ISID policy.

For I-VPLS ISIDs the ISIDs are advertised and multicast MAC are automatically created using PBB-OUI and the ISID. SPBM supports the pruned multicast single tree. Unicast traffic follows the unicast path shortest path or single tree. Multicast/and unknown Unicast follow the pruned single tree for that ISID.
