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.
