ExOS VM and GNS3

[welisson]

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to set up a lab at the GNS3, so, i'm being able to configure the ExtremoXOS VM under GNS3, but when i set up a vpls between them, and connect a PC or any router under GNS3, i can't ping the host in other side. The questions is. Is it possible to integrate others device and make them speaking over vpls using GNS3?

P.S: When i configured only vlan tagged i can ping the PC's, when i start up the vpls and then is up, i can ping the host.

Welisson,

EXOS-VM does not support VPLS.

That functionality requires hardware support and is not implemented in the VM...

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to implement this in EXOS VM

[welisson]

Now is clear to me.

Therefore, if i need test the vpls with traffic pass across the cloud mpls, i need to buy a switch once it there is this feature based in hardware.

Chad Is there any possibility this be implemented in EXOS VM as way lab?

Tks
Welisson

welisson,

Notice the "PW Rx Pkts" "PW Tx Pkts" fields in the "show l2vpn detail" output. If the pseudo wire was fully up and operational, data would be exchanged and "n/a" would be replaced with a number.

Daniel is correct. The L2VPN pseudo wire is implemented in hardware and this functionality is not available in the EXOS VM.

You can configure MPLS, LDP (or RSVP-TE), and even setup the L2VPN service, but actual traffic will not pass across the VPN due to the lack of hardware support.
