Selective VLAN Mapping to VPLS
ExtremeXOS currently supports filtering a set of CVIDs received on a VMAN port by classifying the port as a CEP. Since a VPLS can already be configured to carry VMAN traffic, ExtremeXOS 15.4 release extends support for mapping a CEP to a VPLS.
- An Ethernet port can be associated with multiple VMANs based on the CVIDs.
- Multiple CVIDs on multiple Ethernet ports can be associated with a VMAN.
- A range of CVIDs can be specified instead of individually configured.
- CVID translations and egress filtering.
VMAN with CEP ports can work as a way to achieve some of the requirements. However, you cannot currently assign it to a VPLS.
When implemented, a VMAN with CNP, or CEP, or both can be assigned as a service to a VPLS. This feature does not add any other capability beyond associating a VMAN with CEP port to a VPLS. Existing VMAN features such as CVID translation and egress filtering do not change. The existing VPLS feature to include or exclude SVLAN also does not change.
Supported Platforms
- Summit X460-G2 (supported from ExtremeXOS 15.6)
- Summit X670-G2 (supported from ExtremeXOS 15.6)
- Summit X770
Limitations
- You cannot assign multiple VMANs to a VPLS.
- You cannot use SNMP and XML to assign a VMAN with CEP port to VPLS.
