Understanding VPLS VLAN Encapsulation on a Logical Interface

You can configure a logical interface with VLAN VPLS encapsulation by using the following methods:
Configure the physical interface with the same encapsulation and set VLAN ID of 512 or higher.
Configure the physical interface with flexible Ethernet services encapsulation. If you configure flexible Ethernet services encapsulation, the VLAN ID restriction is removed.
Ethernet interfaces in VLAN mode can have multiple logical interfaces. In VPLS mode, VLAN IDs from 1 through 511 are reserved for normal VLANs, and VLAN IDs 512 through 4094 are reserved for VPLS VLAN. For 4-port Fast Ethernet interfaces, you can use VLAN IDs 512 through 1024 for VPLS VLAN.
For encapsulation type flexible-ethernet-services, all VLAN IDs are valid.
