Question What is the behavior of a virtual tunnel interface in different services routing instances?
For example, for a given VPLS instance, if you need LDP-BGP interworking, there must be one mesh group for every LDP-VPLS cloud that is connected to the BGP-VPLS cloud, at the interworking router
Question When one of the sites goes down in a single VPLS instance, why is there traffic loss on another site? Answer The following illustration shows a sample topology used to answer this question: A PE router has several site IDs configured within the same VPLS instance
A maximum of 16 mesh groups is supported per VPLS instance
When one of the sites goes down in a single VPLS instance, why is there traffic loss on another site?
What is the behavior of a virtual tunnel interface in different services routing instances?
When this spoke interface is added to the hub routing instance, it will receive hub routes, which is not expected in a hub-and-spoke topology
If the no-tunnel-services statement is configured under a VPLS instance, it uses an LSI and does not require a tunnel PIC
