Hi Mark, You are talking about a Routed Pseudowire (RPW). If you change Gi0/20 to contain an EFP in VLAN3854 then your SVI will be up, you still face the problem that when the local interface is down the SVI will go down and the users at the far end of the pseudowire will have no layer 3 gateway, but its better than being down all the time!
I have just written the below example config off the top of my head so might not be 100% correct. When using "l2 vfi KCMO-SIP-1-VFI manual" we are creating a potentially multi-pointed bridge-domain (typically used for manual VPLS configuration) which will be "down" if neither ACs are up (the local SVI or p-t-p pseudowire): interface GigabitEthernet0/20 description ETH1000-| SM FIBER | SIP switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan none service instance 3854 ethernet encapsulation default bridge-domain 3854 l2protocol fowarding exit exit interface Vlan3854 description SIP GW for 67.x.x.x/29 LAN mtu 9000 vrf forwarding SIP-1 ip address 67.x.x.x 255.255.255.248 ip address 65.z.z.z 255.255.255.252 secondary xconnect vfi KCMO-SIP-1-VFI exit l2 vfi KCMO-SIP-1-VFI manual vpn id 3854 neighbor 10.x.x.x encapsulation mpls xconnect vfi KCMO-SIP-1-VFI exit Cheers, James. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
