Adding or editing a VLL instance

To add a new VLL instance do the following:

The VLL Configuration wizard Target Selector dialog box displays (Figure 351).

4.Enter a name for the endpoint in the Name field. The name must be unique on each product and cannot contain spaces, asterisks (*), or question marks (?).

5.Select the Local VLL check mark box if both VLL endpoints are on the same product.

6.If you want to use a specific VCID, enter the VCID. If you do not specify a VCID, the next available VCID in the VCID pool is assigned.

7.VLL Mode is disabled if the Local VLL check mark box is selected indicating that both VLL endpoints are on the same product. If the VLL endpoint is on different product (a remote VLL), use the VLL Mode selector to choose one of the following for the endpoint:

-Tagged: A VLAN ID tag is added to the packets on the ingress router. When the packet arrives at the egress router, the tag is stripped off and the packet is forwarded.

-Raw: The ingress router does not add a VLAN ID to the packets.

8.If you want to copy the VLL configurations for one or more products or ports under Discovered Endpoints, select the product or port and then select the Use Discovered Settings check box.

9.Under Available Endpoints, expand the Devices folder to display the available devices. Then expand the device folder, and slot folder to select a port for an endpoint. Ports that run FDP or CDP protocol are filtered out because they cannot be a VLL or VPLS endpoint. For a remote VLL the two endpoints must come from different devices. For a Local VLL, the ports selected must be from the same device.

10.Use the right arrow button to move the port to the Selected Endpoints box. Make sure you select two endpoints from two different devices.
