Cisco ME 3800x and ME 3600x Switches Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15.3(3)S

L2VPN Protocol-Based CLIs

---

The L2VPN Protocol-Based CLIs feature provides a set of processes and an improved infrastructure for developing and delivering Cisco IOS software on various Cisco platforms. This feature introduces new commands and modifies or replaces existing commands to achieve a consistent functionality across Cisco platforms and provide cross-Operating System (OS) support.

Configuration information on L2VPN Protocol-Based CLI can be found in the MPLS: Layer 2 Configuration Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/xe-3s/l2vpn-prot-based.html

L2VPN Protocol-Based CLI Changes:

The following commands have been modified on the ME3600, ME3800 and ME3600X-24CX switches in Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S:

pseudowire-class name

bridge-domain vlan vlan id

The table below lists the legacy commands that will be replaced in future releases. From Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S both new and legacy commands will coexist until the legacy commands are deprecated in future releases

CLI Comparison Examples

The following examples provide a comparison between two L2VPN configurations using existing (legacy) CLIs and the protocol-based CLIs introduced by the L2VPN Protocol-Based CLIs feature.

Legacy

pseudowire-class PW1

encapsulation mpls

!

l2 vfi foo

vpn id 100

bridge-domain vlan 100

neighbor 10.0.0.1 pw-class PW1

neighbor 10.0.0.2 pw-class PW1
