Pseudowire operation
The pseudowire setup process establishes the reachability of VPLS bridge domain endpoints across an IP or MPLS cloud.
A pseudowire is operational when the following conditions are met:
- VC signaling is established.
- The L3 reachability of the PW peer is resolved.
- At least one AC endpoint within the bridge domain is up.
A pseudowire is non-operational when the following conditions are met:
- No logical interface is configured for the VPLS instance.
- All AC endpoints are non-operational.
