Routing

Hi,

 

     I am configuring a simple BGP-VPLS setup with the following topology:

  

              CE1----u-PE1--------PE1------PE2------u-PE2---CE2

 

I have verified that u-PE1 to u-PE2 connectivity exists (pings are working, and 'show bgp neighbor' lists the connection between both as 'established').

 

However, when I do 'show vpls connections' on either u-PE1 or u-PE2, the output is 'No connections found'.

 

Following are the configs of all 4 PE routers. Can someone kindly point out where I am going wrong?

Thanks!

 

Hi,

 

Did you compare your setup with Juniper's example:

 

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/nce/topics/example/vpls-bgp-ldp-autodiscovery-mesh-group.html

 

Try to do same troubleshooting steps which you see in the document

I tested your config in my lab and it is working for me. Which device you are using ? Please share below mentioned command output from u-PE1 and u-PE2

 

show bgp summary

show route table bgp.l2vpn.0 hidden

show route table inet.3

traceroute mpls ldp 22.22.22.22

traceroute mpls ldp 11.11.11.11

show vpls connections

show vpls connections extensive

 

Hi, thanks for the reply and confirming the config is valid. As mentioned in my earlier reply, I could not see the mistake in my configs as well, so wanted to check with the community ( a fresh set of eyes helps at times). Accepting yours as solution because you were able to validate the configs in lab. 

 

PS: I am using vMX. I tore down the setup since the connections were never coming up and I had to go with a working setup as I have some urgent testing to do.

 

Many thanks!

 

Thanks for reply. Will take a look! In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with my configs...no idea why it is not coming up

I don't see a configuration error.  Can you walk through the troubleshooting steps outlined in this kb and share the output where the failure is found.
