Configuring Layer 2 Circuit Signaling for Pseudowire Subscriber Logical Interfaces

This topic describes the steps for configuring Layer 2 circuit signaling used for the pseudowire subscriber logical interface support. You can also use Layer 2 VPN signaling for pseudowire subscriber logical interfaces. The two methods are mutually exclusive; you can use only one method for a particular pseudowire.

To configure Layer 2 circuit signaling for pseudowire interfaces:

  1. Specify that you want to configure Layer 2 circuit parameters at the protocols hierarchy level.
    [edit protocols]user@host# edit l2circuit
  2. Specify the IP address of the neighbor, to identify the PE router used for the Layer 2 circuit.
    [edit protocols l2circuit]user@host# edit neighbor 192.168.102.15
  3. Specify the interface used by the Layer 2 circuit traffic.
    [edit protocols l2circuit neighbor 192.168.102.15]user@host# edit interface ps1.0
  4. Configure the virtual circuit ID that identifies the Layer 2 circuit for the pseudowire.
    [edit protocols l2circuit neighbor 192.168.102.15 interface ps1.0]user@host# set virtual-circuit-id 5
  5. (Optional) If multiple VLAN interfaces are carried over the pseudowire Layer 2 payload, configure the no-vlan-id-validate statement. This statement prevents VLAN validation in the signaling.
    [edit protocols l2circuit neighbor 192.168.102.15 interface ps1.0]user@host# set no-vlan-id-validate
