Configuring Direct ISP-Facing Interfaces for the Layer 2 Wholesale Solution

date_range 06-Dec-23

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:

  1. Access the physical interface that you want to use to access the retailer ISP network.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces]
    user@host# edit interfaces ge-1/1/0
    
  2. Specify the encapsulation type for the VLAN interfaces.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces ge-1/1/0]
    user@host# edit encapsulation ethernet-vpls
    
  3. Specify the interface unit that you want ISP clients to use.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces ge-1/1/0]
    user@host# edit unit 1
    
  4. Specify the unit family.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces ge-1/1/0 unit 1]
    user@host# set family vpls
    
  5. Define the interface as core-facing to ensure that the network does not improperly treat the interface as a client interface..
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces ge-1/1/0 unit 1 family vpls]
    user@host# set core-facing
    
  6. Repeat steps for any other direct ISP-facing interfaces that you want to use..
