Creating or Deleting a Layer 2 VPN Domain

To create a Layer 2 VPN, use the following command:
create l2vpn [vpls vpls_name | vpws vpws_name] fec-id-type pseudo-wire pwid

This command creates a named Layer 2 VPN instance. Multiple domains can be created, each representing a different L2 VPN. The pwid is a number that is used to signal and identify which Layer 2 VPN is associated with each pseudowire. All of the pseudowires carrying traffic for a specific Layer 2 VPN are signaled with the same pwid. No Layer 2 VPN traffic is forwarded over the Layer 2 VPN until at least one peer is added to the Layer 2 VPN and a service is associated with the Layer 2 VPN. The configured pwid also doubles as the Layer 2 VPN ID.
To delete a Layer 2 VPN, use the following command:
delete l2vpn [vpls [vpls_name | all] | vpws [vpws_name | all]]

This command deletes the named Layer 2 VPN instance or all Layer 2 VPN instances, depending on the keyword. All Layer 2 VPN peers and services associated with the deleted Layer 2 VPN instance(s) are also deleted.
