VPLS BGP Signaling (this is really cool)


So, a while back (~ a year ago now) I did a YouTube video/blog post about having a sort of hacked VPLS environment in GNS3. Why?! Because it's awesome to have a multi-point l2vpn running over MPLS, that's why. 


Today, I bring you a post/video that's far from a hack. Full on VPLS using my best friend the CSR1000v, and using BGP for signaling.

    We can't see taller your movie :(

    I do a simulation with gns3 of VPLS with 3 CSR1000V and 17 7200 router, it's OK :)

    1. I've done something similar, with CSR and 7200s. However, doing a full mesh with CSRs works significantly better :-).

    1. If you have a CCO account, you can just download it from Cisco.com. Google "csr1000v-universalk9.03.16.02.S.155-3.S2-ext.iso" first link should be to software.cisco.com.
