router-interface

Binds a router interface to a tunnel or bridge domain.

Syntax

router-interface ve num

no router-interface

Command Default

A router interface is not configured.

Parameters

ve num: Specifies a virtual interface number on the router.

Modes

Bridge domain configuration mode

Tunnel interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Note

You cannot enable routing on a VPLS instance when the vc-mode option on the PW attached to the instance is set to raw.

When routing is enabled on a VPLS instance that has only one PW and no local endpoints, the VPLS instance is brought to an active state; this state enables routing when the next hop is the PW endpoint.

The no form of the command removes the router interface configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to attach a virtual router interface to a tunnel.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface tunnel 5
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# mode gre ip
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# source 10.1.1.10
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# source ve 4
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# destination 10.1.1.11
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# router-interface ve 3

The following example shows how to bind a virtual router interface to a bridge domain.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# bridge-domain 100
device(config-bridge-domain-100)# router-interface ve 100
