enable l2vpn

enable l2vpn [vpls [vpls_name | all] | vpws [vpws_name | all]]

Description

Enables the specified VPLS or VPWS.

Syntax Description

vpls_name Identifies the VPLS within the switch (character string).
vpws_name Identifies the VPWS within the switch (character string).
all Specifies all VPLS or VPWS instances.

Default

All newly created VPLS or VPWS instances are enabled.

Usage Guidelines

When enabled, VPLS or VPWS attempts to establish sessions between all configured peers. Services must be configured and enabled for sessions to be established successfully.

The l2vpn keyword is introduced in ExtremeXOS Release 12.4 and is required when enabling a VPWS. For backward compatibility, the l2vpn keyword is optional when enabling a VPLS. However, this keyword will be required in a future release, so we recommend that you use this keyword for new configurations and scripts.

Example

The following command enables the VPLS instance myvpls:

enable vpls myvpls

The following command enables the VPWS instance myvpws:

enable l2vpn vpws myvpws

History

Platform Availability
