Cisco IOS XE – Segment Routing VPLS

27 November 202413 February 2026 nick Leave a comment

Instead of using LDP or RSVP, IS-IS Segment Routing is used. P1 acts as a route reflector. A simple lab with, as usual, 2 Cisco CE devices. EIGRP is used between them instead of OSPF.

Juniper vMX – Carrier of Carriers EVPN VPLS

This lab is slightly different to the other Carrier of Carrier lab where LDP was used in each AS. In this lab, AS65200 is using LDP, AS65400 RSVP & AS65600 Segment Routing. 2 Cisco vIOS devices used as CE devices

A change with this lab as RSVP will be used as the MPLS signalling protocol. IS-IS for the IGP and Cisco vIOS again used as the CE devices

The VPLS circuit will now be up.

OSPF has been configured to the Cisco devices but you could chose another protocol if you prefer.

Juniper vMX – EVPN VPWS

6 May 202413 February 2026 nick Leave a comment

Cisco vIOS switches used as the CE devices and a LAG between them and the PE vMX’s. IS-IS for the underlay and LDP for the label distribution. You could use RSVP or Segment Routing if you prefer.
