VPLS Tagged Mode
The examples show the minimum configuration required for enabling a VPLS Mesh peer between PE-1, PE-2, and PE-3 in Tagged Mode. In the below example PE-1 and PE-2 uses VLAN 10 for binding the VPLS instance to the attachment circuit and PE-3 used VLAN 20 where it shows that VLAN swapping is supported.
