So I'm just trying to understand how VPLS is 'supposed' to work on ME3600s...

This seems to work:

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
 description Facing CE
 switchport trunk allowed vlan none
 switchport mode trunk
 logging event link-status
 no cdp enable
 service instance 1 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 4013
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
 !
!
bridge-domain 4013
 member GigabitEthernet0/3 service-instance 1
!
interface Vlan4013
 vrf forwarding management
 no ip address
 member vfi management
!

#show l2vpn vfi name management
Legend: RT=Route-target, S=Split-horizon, Y=Yes, N=No

VFI name: management, state: up, type: multipoint, signaling: BGP
  VPN ID: 4013, VE-ID: 10129, VE-SIZE: 10
  RD: 21949:2194904013, RT: 21949:4013, 21949:2194904013
  Bridge-Domain 4013 attachment circuits:
    Vlan4013
  Pseudo-port interface: pseudowire100036
  Interface          Peer Address    VE-ID  Local Label  Remote Label    S
  pseudowire100037   72.15.50.33     10033  299          354             Y

However this does not:

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
 description Facing CE
 switchport trunk allowed vlan none
 switchport mode trunk
 logging event link-status
 no cdp enable
 service instance 1 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 4013
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
 !
!
bridge-domain 4013
 member GigabitEthernet0/3 service-instance 1
 member vfi management
!

#show l2vpn vfi name management
Legend: RT=Route-target, S=Split-horizon, Y=Yes, N=No

VFI name: management, state: down, type: multipoint, signaling: BGP
  VPN ID: 4013, VE-ID: 10129, VE-SIZE: 10
  RD: 21949:2194904013, RT: 21949:4013, 21949:2194904013
  Bridge-Domain 4013 attachment circuits:
  Pseudo-port interface: pseudowire100036
  Interface          Peer Address    VE-ID  Local Label  Remote Label    S
  pseudowire100037   72.15.50.33     10033  299          354             Y

So even though in the latter example, vfi management is a member of 
bridge-domain 4013, it can't seem to find the attachment circuit.  I get that 
the AC wouldn't be Vlan4013, but I'd sorta expect it to know that it's Gi0/3 si 
1.  I'm assuming that since we can now map a vfi to a bridge-domain, an SVI is 
no longer required, unless the VPLS instance is routed VPLS; we'd need 
somewhere to apply the IP and mask.  Is this an incorrect assumption or is 
something not working that really should be working?

Thanks in advance.
