Ahh I see, thanks for the examples Arie.  Makes sense now.

Jose,

On the hub device you would have a VFI instance.
The spokes would be configured just as if they were running a point to point 
xconnect (i.e. xconnect statement on the service-instace)

On the hub, under the VFI, you need to configure your pseudowires as 
"neighbors" - this is where you would put the no-split-horizon statements for 
the spokes:

l2 vfi aaa manual
  vpn id 1
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 encapsulation mpls no-split-horizon
  neighbor 2.2.2.2 encapsulation mpls no-split-horizon

Subject: [c-nsp] VPLS hub & spoke assistance

Hi everyone.  I'm trying to understand vpls with a hub & spoke topology a 
little better but I'm having a hard time grasping which site(s) need to have the no 
split-horizon configuration added to them.  Not sure if this is even possible with 
the autodiscovery option vs using manual.

So right now I've got four sites setup in a full mesh with the following 
configuration on each PE router (ME3600X):

l2 vfi TEST1 autodiscovery
   vpn id 3000
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
   service instance 3000 ethernet
    encapsulation dot1q 3000
    rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
    bridge-domain 3000
   !
!
interface Vlan3000
   no ip address
   xconnect vfi TEST1
!

So if I want sites 2, 3 and 4 to not be able to talk to each other except by going via 
site 1 what configuration change would I need to do?  I thought that adding "split 
horizon" to the bridge-domain under the service instance was the way to go but I'm 
not so sure.

Ideally, I'd like a scenario where I can have one site as the hub and be able to take 
advantage of the autodiscovery for instances when a new spoke is added to the domain.  
Granted only the hub is benefiting from this auto discovery but does that mean that the 
spokes should be configured as "manual"?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jose
