How to configure VPLS L2VPN Pseudo Wire with MPLS

How to configure VPLS L2VPN Pseudo Wire with MPLS

Hello, I'm needing some help setting up a layer 2 vpn between two X460-24t across a wan. I have all the necessary licensing and feature packs installed. The wan used static routing and is 3 hops away, also the routers in between do not participate in the MPLS. I've started setting up the MPLS and VPLS here's where I'm at...What am I doing wrong?

Correct.

Ldp is multicast based. Not sure if extremes support tldp. ?

Well then you need multicast routing on the routers between the ldp nodes ?

Andreas,

The LDP hello packets are indeed transmitted via multicast to all routers (224.0.0.2) but the session is established via unicast.

LDP is supported on select platforms, with the Summit X460 being one of them. We can see in the configuration provided in the body of the post that LDP is enabled.

Matt,

Is the MPLS LDP session between the two VPLS endpoints in the operational state? The command to view the LDP sessions is "show mpls ldp peer". Also, which software version are the Summit X460 switches running?
