automatic-site-id

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Enable automatic site identifiers for VPLS routing instances.

When you configure automatic-site-id for the first time, you must deactivate and then activate protocol vpls. However, if you already have automatic-site-id configured, you do not need to deactivate and then activate protocol vpls.

Options

collision-detect-time—The time in seconds to wait after a claim advertisement is sent to the other routers in a VPLS instance before a PE router can begin using a site identifier. If the PE router receives a competing claim advertisement for the same site identifier during this time period, it initiates the collision resolution procedure for site identifiers.

Note:

In the VPLS documentation, the word router in terms such as PE router is used to refer to any device that provides routing functions.

new-site-wait-time—The time in seconds to wait to receive VPLS information for a newly configured routing instance or a new site. This time interval is also applied whenever the automatic site identifier feature is activated on a VPLS routing instance other than at startup. Effectively, this timer indicates how long to wait before an attempt is made to allocate a site identifier. This timer is also triggered whenever a VPLS routing instance is enabled.

reclaim-wait-time—The time in seconds to wait to receive VPLS information for a newly configured routing instance or a new site. This time interval is also applied whenever the automatic site identifier feature is activated on a VPLS routing instance other than at startup. Effectively, this timer indicates how long to wait before an attempt is made to allocate a site identifier. This timer is also triggered whenever a VPLS routing instance is enabled. You can configure two values for this option: the minimum wait time and the maximum wait time.

startup-wait-time—The time in seconds to wait at startup to receive all the VPLS information for the route targets configured on the other PE routers included in the VPLS routing instance.
