Example: Configuring a Layer 2 VPN Routing Instance on a VLAN-Bundled Logical Interface

date_range 20-Dec-24

The following configuration shows that the single-tag logical interface ge-1/0/5.0 bundles a list of VLAN IDs, and the logical interface ge-1/1/1.0 supports IPv4 traffic using IP address 10.30.1.130 and can participate in an MPLS path.

[edit interfaces]
ge-1/0/5 {
    vlan-tagging;
    encapsulation extended-vlan-ccc;
    unit 0 { # VLAN-bundled logical interface
        vlan-id-list [513 516 520-525];
    }
}
    ge-1/1/1 {
        unit 0 {
            family inet {
                address 10.30.1.1/30;
            }
            family mpls;
        }
    }

The following configuration shows the type of traffic supported on the Layer 2 VPN routing instance:

rsvp {
    interface all;
    interface lo0.0;
}
mpls {
    label-switched-path lsp {
        to 10.255.69.128;
    }
    interface all;
}
bgp {
    group g1 {
        type internal;
        local-address 10.255.69.96;
        family l2vpn {
            signaling;
        }
        neighbor 10.255.69.128;
    }
}
ospf {
    traffic-engineering;
    area 0.0.0.0 {
        interface lo0.0;
        interface ge-1/1/1.0;
    }
}

The following configuration shows that the VLAN-bundled logical interface is the interface over which VPN traffic travels to the CE router and handles traffic for a CCC to which the VPN connects.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit routing-instances]
red {
    instance-type l2vpn;
    interface ge-1/0/5.0; # VLAN-bundled logical interface
    route-distinguisher 10.255.69.96:100;
    vrf-target target:1:1;
    protocols {
        l2vpn {
            encapsulation-type ethernet; # For single-tag VLAN logical interface
            site CE_ultima {
                site-identifier 1;
                interface ge-1/0/5.0;
            }
        }
    }
}
Note:

Because the VLAN-bundled logical interface supports single-tag frames, Ethernet is the Layer 2 protocol used to encapsulate incoming traffic. Although the connection spans multiple VLANs, the VLANs are bundled and therefore can be encapsulated as a single VLAN.

However, with Ethernet encapsulation, the circuit signal processing does not check that the VLAN ID list is the same at both ends of the CCC connection.
