Configuring Direct ISP-Facing Interfaces for the Layer 2 Wholesale Solution
When connecting a subscriber access router directly to an ISP access router, you must define any ISP-facing interfaces that connect to the retailer ISP access routers as core-facing interfaces.
To configure a direct ISP-facing interface:
- Access the physical interface that you want to use to
access the retailer ISP network.[edit interfaces]user@host# edit interfaces ge-1/1/0
- Specify the encapsulation type for the VLAN interfaces.[edit interfaces ge-1/1/0]user@host# edit encapsulation ethernet-vpls
- Specify the interface unit that you want ISP clients to
use.[edit interfaces ge-1/1/0]user@host# edit unit 1
- Specify the unit family.[edit interfaces ge-1/1/0 unit 1]user@host# set family vpls
- Define the interface as core-facing to ensure that the
network does not improperly treat the interface as a client interface..[edit interfaces ge-1/1/0 unit 1 family vpls]user@host# set core-facing
- Repeat steps for any other direct ISP-facing interfaces that you want to use..
