l2vpn config will not commit

[ariwoola]

Dear,

Kindly assist with a resolve for this problem. I want to implement l2vpn(BGP Kompella) but need to test it out first. While testing, i always get this error message when i try to commit

root@JUNOS1# commit
[edit routing-instances spruce]
  'interface em1.600'
    RT Instance: Interface em1.600 not supported under routing-instances.
error: configuration check-out failed

[edit interfaces em1]

below is my vpn config.

[edit routing-instances spruce]
root@JUNOS1# show
instance-type l2vpn;
interface em1.600;
route-distinguisher 10.0.6.1:200;
vrf-target target:65412:200;
protocols {
    l2vpn {
        encapsulation-type ethernet-vlan;
        site CE1 {
            site-identifier 1;
            interface em1.600;
        }
    }
}

bgp config:

[edit routing-instances spruce]
root@JUNOS1# top show protocols bgp
group ibgp {
    type internal;
    local-address 10.0.6.1;
    family inet {
        unicast;
    }
    family inet-vpn {
        unicast;
    }
    family l2vpn {
        signaling;
    }
    neighbor 10.0.3.5;
}

thisi is my interface configuration below:

[edit interfaces em1]
root@JUNOS1# show
vlan-tagging;
encapsulation vlan-ccc;
unit 600 {
    encapsulation vlan-ccc;
    vlan-id 600;
}

I will be glad to get your assistance on this.

Regards.

Hi,

I don't see anything missing in your configuration. The error indicate that em interface not supported for routing-instance. When I tried to replace em1 interface by fe-0/0/0.600 on my olive router it accepted the configuration normally, I think em interface not supported for Kompella VPN.

Thanks,

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for the clarification. How can i replace the em interface with fe-x/x/x on my olive router.

With kind regards.

Your trying will be accepted and configuration check also will be done normally but for sure you couldn't test or use it in topology. This feature in junos generally you could prepare the configuration even no HW exist

Hi Mohamed,

thanks for the help.

i also tried l2circuit and this configuration commited. show l2circuits connection shows remote is UP but i cant ping CE to CE across the vpn. I guess this would be a similar limitation.

i have double checked all configs and seems to be fine.

When I was preparing for my JNCIE LAB exam using logical interface lt-x/x/x, I faced problem also in L2VPN implementation. Solved after re-create the LAB based on ge-x/x/x.

it's a lil' bit tricky when we want to test L2VPN in simulation.

all configuration will running well if we use the fe- or ge- interfaces.
