Configuring the Transport Logical Interface for a Pseudowire Subscriber Logical Interface

This topic describes how to configure a pseudowire transport logical interface. A pseudowire device can have only one transport logical interface.

A pseudowire logical device and its related pseudowire logical interfaces are dependent on the state of the underlying logical transport interface device, which is either the Layer 2 VPN or Layer 2 circuit.

Note: We recommend that you use unit 0 to represent the transport logical interface for the pseudowire device. Non-zero unit numbers represent service logical interfaces used for pseudowire subscriber interfaces.

To configure a pseudowire transport logical interface:

  1. Specify that you want to configure the pseudowire subscriber logical interface device.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces ps0
  2. Specify that you want to configure unit 0, which represents the transport logical interface.
    [edit interfaces ps0]user@host# edit unit 0
  3. Specify the ethernet-ccc encapsulation method for the transport logical interface.
    [edit interfaces ps0 unit 0]user@host# set encapsulation ethernet-ccc
