Summary

This article describes the basic setup of Point-to-Point EoMPLS with Cisco routers. In this example IOS 15.1 was used, configuration in older versions may differ.


Configuration

Consider network setup as ilustrated below:

EoMPLS-cisco.png

We will be setting up the layer 2 connection between the CE and PE routers as well as the MPLS and EoMPLS between PE routers. The layer 2 link between the CE and PE routers will be an Ethernet circuit.

Set up IP connectivity, OSPF and LDP

CE1:
/ip address add address=192.168.111.1/24 interface=ether1
CE2:
/ip address add address=192.168.111.2/24 interface=ether2


PE1 (RouterOS):
/interface bridge add name=loopback0

/ip address
add address=10.255.111.244/32 interface=loopback0
add address=10.5.111.244/24 interface=ether1

/mpls ldp
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.111.244 transport-address=10.255.111.244

/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1

/routing ospf network
add area=backbone network=10.255.111.111/32
add area=backbone network=10.5.111.0/24

PE2 (IOS):
mpls label protocol ldp
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 10.255.111.111 255.255.255.255
!
interface GigabitEthernet5/1
 ip address 10.5.111.111 255.255.255.0
 mpls ip
 mpls label protocol ldp
!
router ospf 1
 redistribute connected
 network 10.5.111.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 10.255.111.111 0.0.0.0 area 0
!

Configure EoMPLS tunnel

PE1 (RouterOS):
/interface bridge
add name=vpn

/interface vpls
add cisco-style=yes cisco-style-id=111 disabled=no l2mtu=1500 name=cisco-eompls \
    remote-peer=10.255.111.111 use-control-word=yes

/interface bridge port
add interface=ether2 bridge=vpn
add interface=cisco-eompls bridge=vpn


PE2 (IOS):
pseudowire-class l2vpn
 encapsulation mpls
 control-word
!
interface GigabitEthernet5/2
 no ip address
 xconnect 10.255.111.244 111 pw-class l2vpn
  mtu 1500
!


Adjust MTUs

PE1 (RouterOS):
/mpls interface
set [find interface=all ] mpls-mtu=1526


PE2 (IOS):
interface GigabitEthernet5/1
 mtu 1526
 ip mtu 1500
 mpls mtu 1526
!

Verify Tunnel Operation

PE1 (RouterOS):
[admin@RouterOS] /interface vpls> monitor 0
       remote-label: 19
        local-label: 21
      remote-status: 
          transport: 10.255.111.111/32
  transport-nexthop: 10.5.111.111
     imposed-labels: 19



PE2 (IOS):
C7606#show mpls l2transport vc

Local intf     Local circuit              Dest address    VC ID      Status
