I'm testing mpls vll-local on an MLX-4 and came to the conclusion that VLAN tag translation between 2 ports using vll-local works fine, but i cannot seem to do any local routing anymore by using ve devices. Is this correct?

The config :

router mpls
vll-local testing123
 vlan 4030
  tag e 2/1
 vlan 4031
  tag e 2/2

Now, i CAN add the following :

vlan 4030
router-interface ve 4030
!
interface ve 4030
ip address 10.0.0.1/29
!

But this doesn't seem to do anything.

That's correct. There are no ports in VLAN 4030 (you can verify this by doing "sh vlan 4030" and "sh vlan e 2/1" - note that the latter will say that the port is a member of 0 VLANs).

There is a difference between a "VLAN" and a "L2 VLAN" in Foundry parlance. I'm not sure which is which, but one is configured with "conf t; vlan xyz; tagged e x/y; router-interface ve x" and the other is used only as a number to fill out in the 802.1Q tag under VPLS or VLL instances.


Is there anyone who can help me with this? Is there a different way to do this?

Not that I'm aware of without running a cable back between two ports.
