VPLS Not working over MPLS

VPLS Not working over MPLS

Hi, I have some EXOS VM's set up in GNS3 using Virtual box. I used this link to configure MPLS and VPLS https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000081349 The only difference is that I have 4 switches instead of 2. I setup 2 more switches to use as the "customer" to see if traffic was being passed over VPLS from one "customer" switch to the other. It is not. I'm not sure what I'm missing. i am including my MPLS/VPLS configurations for each LSR and a screenshot of my setup in GNS3.

As you can see on the screenshot, I am only testing between Incap-Boca and Incap-Chi. those 2 switches are connected to the service VLAN on their respective LSR's.

I am new to MPLS so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advanced for any help you provide.

Hi Henrique, I've had time to do some more tests on my demo environment and the switch between the lsp primary path and the lsp secondary path works correctly...... Remain only the problem when I use a profile for see if the problem is the fact that I'm using the virtual XOS or if there is a configuration problem.

With this conf the l2vpn tunnel is up, and if I ping between glasgow and birmingham (in both direction) works, but only if the primary path is up, despite the fact that the config is perfectly symmetric (if I power off London router on the primary path, the ping stop and don't flow throught the secondary path)....

Hi Antonio, on Monday I will load the same configuration on physical devices just to confirm if that's related to the VM or configuration.
