Using the sandbox Intra-AS BGP-CT in vLabs, I configure VPLS on MX routers.
I configure the following:
- IP Addressing
- OSPF
- MPLS
- LDP
- MP-BGP
- VPLS (using BGP as a signaling protocol)
The issue arises when I use VLAN-VPLS encapsulation, preventing me from achieving L3 connectivity between CEs.
When I use ethernet-vpls can achieve L3 connectivity between CEs.
The only thing I notice is that I do not observe ARP from the interface going from the PE to the CE using the show arp command.
Thanks for the help.
