pw-profile
 
   
  Creates a pseudowire (PW) profile that can be shared across multiple Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) bridge domains.

	 Command Default
 
		No PW profile is configured. 
		
 
	 
 
	 Parameters
 
		 
		   
			 - pw-profile-name 
			 
  
			 - Specifies the name of a PW profile. 
			 
  
		   
		   
			 - mtu 
				  mtu-value 
			 
  
			 - Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the PW profile. The range is from 64 through 15966. 
			 
  
		   
		   
			 - mtu-enforce 
			 
  
			 - Configures MTU enforcement check during PW signaling. 
				
 
				   
					 - false 
					 
  
					 - Enables the MTU enforcement check. 
					 
  
				   
				
 
				 
				   
					 - true 
					 
  
					 - Disables the MTU enforcement check. 
					 
  
				   
				
 
			   
		   
		   
			 - vc-mode 
			 
  
			 -  
				

Note   
When a pseudowire profile is attached to a bridge domain, on which routing is enabled (by using the 
				  
router-interface command), you are not allowed to change the pseudowire profile 
				  
vc-mode configuration to 
				  
raw. 
				
 
Configures the virtual connection (VC) mode for the profile: 
				 
				   
					 - raw 
					 
  
					 - Specifies using raw mode. At VC label imposition, when a tagged packet is received on a tagged AC endpoint, the VLAN tag is removed before it is sent out on the wire. When an untagged packet is received on an untagged AC endpoint it is encapsulated as is and sent out on the wire. 
					 
  
				   
				
 
				 
				   
					 - raw-passthrough 
					 
  
					 - Specifies using raw-passthrough mode which enables interoperation with third-party devices. When all endpoints are configured as tagged endpoints, raw passthrough mode behaves the same way as tagged mode. When all endpoints are configured as untagged endpoints, raw-passthrough mode behaves the same way as raw mode. Select the 
						raw-passthrough option, when all endpoints are configured as untagged endpoints (even when peer devices signal the PW VC mode as raw). 
					 
  
				   
				
 
				 
				   
					 - tag 
					 
  
					 - Specifies using tag mode. At VC label imposition, when a tagged packet is received on a tagged AC endpoint, the packet is encapsulated as is and sent out on the wire. When an untagged packet is received on an untagged AC endpoint, a dummy tag is added and it is sent out on the wire. 
					 
  
				   
				
 
			   
		   
		
 
	 
 
	 Modes
 
		Global configuration mode. 
		
 
	 
 
	 Usage Guidelines
 
		You can configure up to 64 PW profiles. 
		
 
		The 
		  no form of the command removes the PW profile configuration. 
		
 
	 
Examples
 
	  
		The following example shows how to create a PW profile named test specifying that the VC mode for the profile is raw-passthrough. 
		
 
		
device# configure terminal
device(config)# pw-profile test vc-mode raw-passthrough
