A MAC move occurs when a MAC address frequently appears
on a different physical interface than the one it was learned on.
Frequent MAC moves indicate the presence of loops. To avoid loops
across interfaces in virtual private LAN services (VPLS), you can
configure MAC pinning.
This topic describes how to configure MAC pinning on all pseudowires
of a specific neighbor of an LDP-based VPLS routing instance.
To configure MAC pinning on all pseudowires of a specific
neighbor in a VPLS routing instance with LDP signaling:
- Configure the interfaces as trunk interfaces and specify
the list of VLAN IDs.
[edit interfaces]
user@host# set interfacetype-fpc/pic/port flexible-vlan-tagging
user@host# set interfacetype-fpc/pic/port encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services
user@host# set interfacetype-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number encapsulation vlan-vpls;
user@host# set interfacetype-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number family bridge interface-mode trunk
user@host# set interfacetype-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number family bridge vlan-id-list vlan-id-numbers
- Configure the VPLS routing instance and specify the trunk
interface.
[edit routing-instances]
user@host# set routing-instance-name instance-type vpls;
user@host# set routing-instance-name interface interfacetype-fpc/pic/port;
- Configure the routing protocol and specify the trunk interface
and the VPLS identifier.
[edit routing-instances]
user@host# set routing-instance-name protocols vpls interface interfacetype-fpc/pic/port
user@host# set routing-instance-name protocols vpls vpls-id vpls-id
- Configure MAC pinning after specifying the neighbor ID.
user@host# set routing-instance-name protocols vpls neighbor neighbor-id mac-pinning
- In configuration mode, verify the configuration.
