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.

Checking the configuration I've found that I've forget to add the vpls_service vlan to l2vpn service ...so, on Glasgow and Birmingham I've added the following line in the configuration: configure l2vpn vpls Glasgow-Birmingham-Oxford-Uni add service vlan vpls_service Now the l2vpn is in signal state on both Glasgow and Birmingham, so there is still another mistake somewhere in my config:
Hi Henrique, I've enabled ospf on every MPLS switch. For example for Glasgow I've added to the previous configuration the following lines: configure ospf routerid 2.0.0.0 enable ospf configure ospf add vlan lpbk area 0.0.0.0 passive configure ospf add vlan Glasgow-Liverpool area 0.0.0.0 link-type point-to-point configure ospf add vlan Glasgow-London area 0.0.0.0 link-type point-to-point configure ospf add vlan Glasgow-Birmingham area 0.0.0.0 link-type point-to-point Now the routes on Glasgow are :
