signaling ldp
Use this command to establish a pseudowire connection between Provider Edge (PE) routers. Use this command to use the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) for signaling and to support VPLS auto-discovery between VPLS instances.Using this command triggers LDP to signal a pseudowire between the configured VPLS peers in the same VPLS instance. The vpls-peer command is used to identify the VPLS peers that are part of a VPLS instance
Note: Issuing this command puts the router into VPLS signaling (config-vpls-sig) mode.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove (tear down) pseudowires with other PE routers.

Use this command to configure a VPLS Edge (VE) device. Each Provider Edge (PE) device participating in a VPLS must have at least one VE ID. When the PE is connected to several u-PEs (Layer 2 PE devices used to provide Layer 2 aggregation), there are unique VE ID’s for each u-PE. The PE may also be assigned a VE ID, if it is to act as the VE for the VPLS.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove a VE ID.
Command Syntax
ve-id <1-65535>
no ve-id <1-65535>
Parameters
<1-65535>
VE-ID’s range is between 1 and 65535. This should be unique among the VPLS Peers for a VPLS instance.
Default
By default, ve id is disabled
Command Mode
VPLS Signaling mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

vpls fib-entry
Use this command to create a static VPLS FIB entry. When a VPLS peer is configured manually, no signaling is done. Therefore, a VPLS static entry must be created for all manually created nodes.
Use the no option with this command to delete a static VPLS FIB entry.

no vpls fib-entry VPLS-ID ((peer A.B.C.D)| (spoke-vc VC-NAME)) IN-LABEL OUT-INTF OUT-LABEL
Parameters
VPLS-ID
VPLS identifier
peer
Mesh peer address VPLS identifier
A.B.C.D
Peer IPv4 Address.

Default
By default, vpls fib entry is disabled
Command Mode

Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
The first example shows how to configure VPLS FIB entry 100 with mesh peer 97.97.97.97 for incoming label 15999, outgoing interface xe2 with outgoing label 15999:

#configure terminal
(config)#vpls fib-entry 100 spoke-vc t1 15999 xe2 15999
