Hello Experts,
I am runnig into a trouble configuring BGP autodiscovery VPLS between Cisco ASR1k and Juniper MX. We are mostly Juniper shop but planning to add Cisco boxes as PE devices. I am unable to setup VPLS between MX and ASR1k. The TLDP VPLS works OK but BGP autodiscovery does not work. I am quite surprised that nobody recently here opened the discussion about interoperabilty of this two boxes or maybe I missing something. Currently my config of Juniper box looks as follows:
show configuration routing-instances VPLS_Test
instance-type vpls;
interface xe-4/2/3.1893;
vrf-target target:1234:777;
protocols {
vpls {
mac-table-size {
2048;
}
no-tunnel-services;
site S1 {
site-identifier 1;
interface xe-4/2/3.1893;
}
}
}
show configuration protocols bgp group Edge
family l2vpn {
signaling;
Cisco:
l2 vfi Test_Cisco autodiscovery
vpn id 100
bridge-domain 100
rd 1.1.1.1:1
route-target export 1234:777
route-target import 1234:777
With the above configuration VPLS works across MX boxes but not with ASR1k. Back in 2010 according to this post http://forums.juniper.net/t5/Routing/Cisco-and-Juniper-VPLS-Integration-using-BGP/m-p/42308/highlight/true#M2682 autodiscovery between Cisco and Juniper was not supported but this is quite an old post and I am sure things changed since. Can someone advice on this please.
Many Thanks
