A pseudowire (PW) emulates a point-to-point connection over a packet-switching network. PW profile configuration defines PW attributes. After configuration, a PW profile must be attached to a bridge domain.
About this task
A pseudowire profile can be shared across multiple bridge domains. Complete the following task to configure a PW profile.
Procedure
-
From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Create a PW profile and enter configuration mode for the profile.
device(config)# pw-profile pw_example
-
Configure the virtual connection mode for the profile.
device(config-pw-pw_example)# vc-mode tag
In this example, tag mode is configured for the PW profile, pw_example.
-
Configure a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 1300 for the PW profile.
device(config-pw-pw_example)# mtu 1300
-
Enforce an MTU check during PW signaling.
device(config-pw-pw_example)# mtu-enforce true
Example
The following example creates a PW profile named pw_example and configures attributes for the profile.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# pw-profile pw_example
device(config-pw-pw_example)# vc-mode tag
device(config-pw-pw_example)# mtu 1300
device(config-pw-pw_example)# mtu-enforce true
