Virtual Private Lan Service (VPLS) interface can be considered tunnel interface just like EoIP interface. To achieve transparent ethernet segment forwarding between customer sites. MikroTik RouterOS implements following VPLS features: Since version 3.17: Sub-menu:
Command Available read only properties: Sub-menu: List of BGP signaled VPLS instances. Configured instance makes router advertise VPLS BGP NLRI that advertises that particular router belongs to some VPLS. Sub-menu:
Summary
General
/interface vpls
List of all VPLS interfaces. This menu shows also dynamically created BGP based VPLS interfaces.Properties
Property Description advertised-l2mtu (integer; Default: 1500) L2MTU value advertised to remote peer. arp (disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only; Default: enabled) Address Resolution Protocol cisco-style (yes | no; Default: no) Specifies whether to use cisco style VPLS. cisco-style-id (integer; Default: 0) VPLS tunnel ID, used if cisco-style
is set to yes.comment (string; Default: ) Short description of the item disable-running-check (yes | no; Default:no) Specifies whether to detect if interface is running or not. If set to nointerface will always have running
flag.disabled (yes | no; Default: yes) Defines whether item is ignored or used. By default VPLS interface is disabled. l2mtu (integer; Default: 1500) mac-address (MAC; Default: ) mtu (integer; Default: 1500) name (string; Default: ) Name of the interface pw-type (raw-ethernet | tagged-ethernet; Default: raw-ethernet) Pseudowire type. remote-peer (IP; Default: ) IP address of remote peer. vpls-id (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Unique number that identifies VPLS tunnel. Monitoring
/interface vpls monitor [id]
will display current VPLS interface statusProperty Description mm () BGP VPLS
/interface vpls bgp-vpls
Properties
Property Description bridge (none | string; Default: none) If set to none VPLS interface is not added to bridge ports. bridge-cost (integer; Default: 50) bridge-horizon (none | integer; Default:none) If set to none bridge horizon will not be used. comment (string; Default: ) Short description of the item disabled (yes | no; Default: no) Defines whether item is ignored or used. export-route-target (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Setting is used to tag BGP NLRI with one or more route targets. import-route-target (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Setting is used to determine if BGP NLRI is related to particular VPLS, by comparing route targets received from BGP NLRI. name (string; Default: ) route-distinguisher (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Specifies value that gets attached to VPLS NLRI so that receiving routers can distinguish advertisements that may otherwise look the same. This implies that unique route-distinguisher for every VPLS must be used. It is not necessary to use the same route distinguisher for some VPLS on all routers forming that VPLS as distinguisher is not used for determining if some BGP NLRI is related to particular VPLS (Route Target attribute is used for this), but it is mandatory to have different distinguishers for different VPLSes. site-id (integer; Default: 1) Unique site identifier. Each site must have unique site-id. Cisco Style BGP VPLS
/interface cisco-bgp-vpls
Properties
Property Description bridge (none | string; Default: none) If set to none VPLS interface is not added to bridge ports. bridge-cost (integer; Default: 50) bridge-horizon (none | integer; Default:none) If set to none bridge horizon will not be used. comment (string; Default: ) Short description of the item disabled (yes | no; Default: no) Defines whether item is ignored or used. export-route-target (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Setting is used to tag BGP NLRI with one or more route targets. import-route-target (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Setting is used to determine if BGP NLRI is related to particular VPLS, by comparing route targets received from BGP NLRI. l2router-id (IP; Default: 0.0.0.0) name (string; Default: ) route-distinguisher (AsNum | AsIp; Default: ) Specifies value that gets attached to VPLS NLRI so that receiving routers can distinguish advertisements that may otherwise look the same. This implies that unique route-distinguisher for every VPLS must be used. It is not necessary to use the same route distinguisher for some VPLS on all routers forming that VPLS as distinguisher is not used for determining if some BGP NLRI is related to particular VPLS (Route Target attribute is used for this), but it is mandatory to have different distinguishers for different VPLSes. vpls-id (integer; Default: ) Unique number that identifies VPLS tunnel.
