Thank Matt, I haven't read rfc's 4761/2 (started reading 4761 the other day)...
I'm using me3600x 15.2(2)S... I wonder if this would've told me that this me3600 used ldp... ? sv-b-ME3600-test#sh vfi Legend: RT=Route-target, S=Split-horizon, Y=Yes, N=No VFI name: vpls1, state: up, type: multipoint signaling: LDP <-------------- ...also, the idea for bgp OR ldp for the signaling portion....does the targeted ldp neighbor session mean that these devices are using ldp for signaling within the vpls w/bgp autodiscovery architecture OR does the ldp targeted neighbor session exists *regardless* ? Thanks, I'm trying to learn here....appreciate it. As usually, this list is a wonderful resource and thanks to Matt and Pete for assisting thus far with the vpls ad thing...appreciate all y'all Aaron -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Matthew Melbourne Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 7:04 AM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [c-nsp] l2vpn vpls w/bgp autodiscovery - me3600x to asr9k Yes, I understand there are two standards which define VPLS PE Discovery and Pseudowire signalling: RFC4761 - BGP Auto-discovery and BGP signalling RFC4762 - BGP Auto-discovery and LDP signalling Both are supported on the ASR9k, but IOS tends to support only LDP signalling (e.g. 7600 from 12.2(33)SRB).
