Implementing Multipoint Layer 2 Services
• pw-iw interfaces cannot have IPv6 address because IPv6 is not supported on pw-iw (VC type 11). The
• The VLAN ID is allowed only if VC type is 4.
• MPLS protocols (MPLS-TE, LDP, RSVP) cannot be configured on PW-HE.
• No interface list configuration is accepted on non-PWHE platforms.
Configuring PWHE Interface Parameters
Perform this task to configure PWHE interface parameters.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. interface pw-ether id
3. attach generic-interface-list interface_list_name
4. l2overhead bytes
5. load-interval seconds
6. dampening decay-life
7. logging events link-status
8. mac-address MAC address
9. mtu interface_MTU
10. Use the commit or end command.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters the Global Configuration mode.
Step 2
interface pw-ether id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface pw-ether <id>
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface pw-iw <id>
(interface pw-ether id) Configures the PWHE interface and enters the interface configuration mode.
(interface pw-iw id) Configures the PWHE interface and enters the interface configuration mode.
Step 3
attach generic-interface-list interface_list_name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# attach generic-interface-list interfacelist1
VC type is set to type 11 if AC is pw-iw even when interworking ipv4 is not configured.
