Bonding Two VPLS Interfaces: Network Diagram

This document discusses bonding two VPLS interfaces on routers R1 and R2. MPLS and BGP signaling are used to establish two separate VPLS tunnels between the routers over different wireless links. Route filters are applied to ensure traffic for each VPLS uses a different link. Finally, the two VPLS interfaces are bonded together and added to a bridge to provide link aggregation across the wireless connections.

Bonding two VPLS interfaces

This example extends Transparent Bridge using MPLS example. Mentioned example is using LDP signaled VPLS tunnel which is
not suitable for two VPLS tunnels to the same device. Before continuing with the setup, basic knowledge of BGP and BGP
signaled VPLS is needed.

Network Diagram

There are two wireless links on router and LAN segment is connected to the ethernet side of each router.

Configuration

Lets consider that wireless interfaces are already configured and links are established so that we can start with IP and MPLS
configuration.

IP addressing and MPLS

R1

/interface bridge
add name=lo
/ip address
add address=192.168.222.1/24 interface=wlan1
add address=192.168.223.1/24 interface=wlan2
add address=222.222.222.1/32 interface=lo

/ip route
add dst-address=222.222.222.2/32 gateway=192.168.222.2

/mpls ldp
set enabled=yes lsr-id=222.222.222.1 transport-address=222.222.222.1
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=wlan1
add interface=wlan2

R2

/interface bridge
add name=lo
/ip address
add address=192.168.222.2/24 interface=wlan1
add address=192.168.223.2/24 interface=wlan2
add address=222.222.222.2/32 interface=lo

/ip route
add dst-address=222.222.222.1/32 gateway=192.168.222.1

/mpls ldp
set enabled=yes lsr-id=222.222.222.2 transport-address=222.222.222.2
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=wlan1
add interface=wlan1
add interface=wlan2

At this point ensure that LDP is running:

[admin@R1] /mpls ldp neighbor> print


Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, O - operational, T - sending-targeted-hello,
V - vpls
# TRANSPORT LOCAL-TRANSPORT PEER SEN
0 DO 222.222.222.2 222.222.222.1 192.168.222.2:0 no

BGP signaled VPLS

R1

/routing bgp peer


add name=peer1 remote-address-192.168.222.2 remote-as=65530 address-families=l2vpn
add name=peer2 remote-address-192.168.223.2 remote-as=65530 address-families=l2vpn

R2

/routing bgp peer


add name=peer1 remote-address-192.168.222.1 remote-as=65530 address-families=l2vpn
add name=peer2 remote-address-192.168.223.1 remote-as=65530 address-families=l2vpn

BGP should be running and we can start VPLS configuration. Each of VPLS tunnels will have unique route distinguisher and route
target:

R1

/interface vpls bgp-vpls


add export-route-targets=222:222 import-route-targets=222:222 name=bgp-vpls1 \
route-distinguisher=222:222 site-id=1
add export-route-targets=223:223 import-route-targets=223:223 name=bgp-vpls2 \
route-distinguisher=223:223 site-id=1

R2

/interface vpls bgp-vpls


add export-route-targets=222:222 import-route-targets=222:222 name=bgp-vpls1 \
route-distinguisher=222:222 site-id=2
add export-route-targets=223:223 import-route-targets=223:223 name=bgp-vpls2 \
route-distinguisher=223:223 site-id=2

At this point VPLS tunnels are signaled to both BGP peers. It means that VPLS tunnels are established over the same link (which
update gets first).

To force other VPLS tunnel over another link we will use routign filters to filter out unnecessary updates:

'R1 and R2

/routing bgp peer


set peer1 out-filter=bgp-out1
set peer2 out-filter=bgp-out2

/routing filter
add action=discard chain=bgp-out1 route-targets=223:223
add action=discard chain=bgp-out2 route-targets=222:222

Result

[admin@R1] /interface vpls> print


Flags: X - disabled, R - running, D - dynamic,
B - bgp-signaled, C - cisco-bgp-signaled

0 RDB name="vpls1" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1500 mac-address=02:A1:29:95:20:3B arp=enabled


disable-running-check=no remote-peer=192.168.223.2 cisco-style=no
cisco-style-id=0 advertised-l2mtu=1500 pw-type=raw-ethernet
vpls=bgp-vpls2

1 RDB name="vpls2" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1500 mac-address=02:A4:61:69:82:F1 arp=enabled


disable-running-check=no remote-peer=192.168.222.2 cisco-style=no
disable-running-check=no remote-peer=192.168.222.2 cisco-style=no
cisco-style-id=0 advertised-l2mtu=1500 pw-type=raw-ethernet
vpls=bgp-vpls1

Bonding

Bonding itself is quite simple

/interface bonding add name=bonding1 slaves=vpls1,vpls2

/interface bridge
add name=vpn protocol-mode=rstp
/interface bridge ports
add bridge=vpn interface=ether1
add bridge=vpn interface=bonding1

[admin@R1] /interface bonding> print


Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="bonding1" mtu=1500 mac-address=02:A1:29:95:20:3B arp=enabled
slaves=vpls1,vpls2 mode=balance-rr primary=none link-monitoring=none
arp-interval=100ms mii-interval=100ms down-delay=0ms up-delay=0ms
