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.
