1 MVM Introduction

The four MVM modules covered in this book are L2VPN Manager, MPLS Manager, and MPLS TE Manager. Each module contains an overview of capabilities and applications followed by a detailed explanation of each function and associated devices.

2 L2VPN Manager

L2VPN Manager is used to manage the Layer 2 VPN networks, including MPLS-based VPLS networks and link layer-based PBB networks.

The L2VPN Manager provides four functions: VPN devices, VPN resources, VPN deployment, and automatic discovery. For more information about these functions, see Operation Guide.

L2VPN Manager allows administrators to assign operation rights to operators. For further details, see VPN Privilege Management.

To quick start with the L2VPN Manager, refer to L2VPN User Guide.

L2VPN Manager Overview

L2VPN Manager is used to manage the Layer 2 VPN networks, including MPLS-based VPLS networks and link layer-based PBB networks.

Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), also called Transparent LAN Service (TLS) or Virutal Private Switched Network Service, can deliver a point-to-multipoint Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) service over public networks. With VPLS, geographically-dispersed sites can interconnect and communicate over Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) as if they were on the same Local Area Network (LAN).

VPLS supports multipoint services, rather than the point-to-point services that traditional VPN supports. With VPLS, service providers can create on the PEs a series of virtual switches for customers, allowing customers to build their LANs across the MAN or WAN.

Basic concepts of VPLS

The figure shown above illustrates a typical VPLS networking scenario, which involves the following basic concepts:

• CE (Customer Edge): Customer edge device that is directly connected with the service provider

network.

• PE (Provider Edge): Provider edge device that connects one or more CEs to the service provider

network, mainly for access to VPN services.

• VSI (Virtual Switch Instance): Virtual switch instance that maps actual VPLS access links to

virtual links. As shown in the above figure, to ensure connectivity between devices, PE 1 and PE 2 are configured with a VSI respectively, and the VSI ID is 1.

• PW (Pseudo Wire): A pseudo wire is the bidirectional virtual connection between two VSIs.

A pseudo wire consists of two unidirectional virtual circuits (VCs).

• AC (Attachment Circuit): Attachment circuit that connects a CE to a PE. It can use physical

interfaces or virtual interfaces.

• Tunnel: A tunnel, usually an MPLS tunnel, used to carry one or more PWs. It is a direct channel

between a local PE and the peer PE for transparent transmission in-between.

8 L2VPN Manager

The figure shown above illustrates a typical H-VPLS network, which involves the following basic concepts:

• UPE (User Facing-Provider Edge): User facing provider edge device that functions as the user

access convergence device.

• NPE (Network Provider Edge): Network provider edge device that functions as the network

core PE. An NPE resides at the edge of a VPLS network core domain and provides transparent VPLS transport services between core networks.

• U-PW: PW link between a UPE and an NPE.

• N-PW: PW link between two NPEs.

VPLS VPN Types

• LDP VPN: Uses the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) to establish virtual circuits by establishing

point-to-point sessions between a pair of PEs.

• BGP VPN: Uses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to establish signaling sessions through

route reflectors (RRs) and supports networking across ASs.

Operation of VPLS

The icon descriptions for the data forwarding flowchart shown above are:

• L2-pdu: Data link layer packet.

• Dmac: MAC address of the next hop device.

• Smac: MAC address of the local device.

• L: Public network label.

• V: Private network label.

• L': Public network label after the packet is forwarded along the LSP.

The data forwarding procedure is as follows:

1. A PE receives a data packet from a CE through the AC. According to the VSI, the PE pushes

its own MAC address, the next hop's MAC address, the public network label, and the private network label into the packet and then forwards the packet to the core network according to the next hop's MAC address.

2. After receiving the packet, the core network encapsulates the packet with the new public

network label and the MAC address of the new next hop device, and then forwards the packet to the specified PE accordingly.

3. The PE sends the packet to the right CE through the AC according to the private network label.

L2VPN Manager Overview 9

Basic VLL concepts

VLL(Virtual Leased Line): VLL provides point-to-point L2VPN services over the public network. With VLL, two sites can communicate as if they were directly connected. VLL is a form of MPLS L2VPN. It uses inner labels to identify virtual lines (Layer 2 tunnels), hereinafter referred to as virtual circuits (VCs), and uses outer labels to identify public tunnels. The network devices of the service provider do not need to maintain any Layer 2 information but perform MPLS forwarding on the public neworks based on MPLS labels. In VLL, a Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is about the VC indentifier and some Layer 2 information.

The above figure shows a typical VLL networking scenario. With the existing technologies, VLL can be implemented mainly in two methods, which use different signaling protocols to exchange VC information. One method is called Martini (the L2VPN Manager only support this method). The Martini method uses a standard two-layer label stack. The inner labels (VC labels) are exchanged through the extended LDP. The Martini draft extends the standard LDP, adding a new FEC type, the VC FEC, for exchanging VC labels. A VC FEC identifies a VC by VC Type and VC ID. VC Type indicates the link layer encapsulation type and VC ID uniquely indentifies a VC of the same type on a PE. The PEs that connect two CEs switch VC labels through LDP and bind the corresponding CEs by the VC ID. A VC between the two CEs are then established and the two CEs can transport Layer 2 data over the VC. The Martini method does not provide the local switching function. Outer labels will be used to transport VCs' data over the service provider network. Because PEs can identify data of different VCs by inner label, multiple VCs can share the public tunnel.

PBB overview

PBB Overview PBB is proposed to satisfy the Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) requirements. In the MEN service hierarchy model, PBB is at the carrier level, used to establish MAC tunnels to separate services of different customers on the backbone. A network employs 802.1ah is called a Provider Backbone Bridge Network (PBBN).

Basic concepts of PBB

10 L2VPN Manager

The above figure shows a typical PBB networking scenario. In a typical PBBN, there are two types of devices, BEB and BCB.

• BEB (Backbone Edge Bridge): Like a PE in an MPLS network. It performs MAC-in-MAC

encapsulation for the incoming packets and then delivers the encapsulated packets to subsequent devices, which will forward the packets according to the B-MAC and B-VID. It also de-encapsulates the received MAC-in-MAC packets to standard Ethernet packets and then looks up the forwarding table and sends the packets from the corresponding outgoing interfaces.

• BCB (Backbone Core Bridge): Like a P device in an MPLS network. It forwards the received

MAC-in-MAC packets according to the outer B-MAC and B-VID. A BCB only performs packet bridging, learning the MAC addresses on the backbone. It does not need to learn the huge number of MAC addresses in the customer networks. This reduces the network deployment expenses and provides better expansibility for the PBBN.

Usage Summary

The L2VPN Manager mainly provides two operation flows: service flow and deployment flow. Through this user guide, you can quickly get started with the L2VPN Manager.

Service flow

NOTE: Select imported PE devices and perform automatic discovery. Then, the L2VPN Manager

will find out the VPNs and AC links newly configured on the devices and display them visually in the topology diagram.

Usage Summary 11

Deployment flow

NOTE: You can add PEs and CEs to a VPN through VPLS deployment, VLL deployment, and PBB

deployment. You can also remove the PEs and CEs from a VPN or remove a whole VPN through the function.

VPN privilege management

The system allows administrators to authorize different operators to manage different VPNs. When adding or modifying an operator account, an administrator can authorize the operator to manage certain VPNs or change which VPNs the operator can manage. Then, after logging on, the operator can view information about only the VPNs the operator is authorized to manage.

CEs and non-managed CEs. The PEs and non-managed CEs can be directly imported from the platform to the L2VPN manager. For non-managed CEs, however, you need to add them to the L2VPN Manager manually.

• VPN Resources—The L2VPN Manager allows you to add VPNs manually or use the automatic

discovery function to construct VPNs automatically. VPN resources include VPN list and VC list. On the VPN list page, you can add, delete, and audit a VPN, and view the detailed information, audit information, and topology information of a VPN. On the AC list page, you can query and delete ACs, and view the detailed information of a VC.

• VPN Deployment—VPN Deployment includes VPLS deployment, VLL deployment, PBB

deployment, undeployment, and deployment task management. You can deploy configuration one by one or in a batch. The L2VPN Manager provides a simple, visual deployment operation guide, which can release you from remembering bald command lines and reduce your workload tremendously. After the deployment, you can view the deployment details (by clicking the Details icon) to see the configuration commands deployed to the devices.

• Automatic Discovery—The L2VPN Manager can find the newly configured VPNs and AC links

on devices through the automatic discovery function and then add them to the L2VPN Manager for management. The L2VPN Manager can discover the entire VPN network. No manual interference is needed during automatic discovery.

VPN devices

VPN devices include PEs and CEs. A PE is a service provider edge device, which is the core of VPN service processing in a network. A CE is an edge device of a VPN site network, representing a customer subnet.

A device can be managed by the L2VPN Manager only after the device is added to the platform. That is, the related device should be managed by the platform before it can be added to the L2VPN Manager as a PE or CE resource. Each device can be imported as only one type of VPN device at a time. VPN resources allows for such operations as querying, adding, deleting, and editing managed devices.

Due to the deployment variety of CEs, some CEs cannot be managed. You can create non-managed CEs in the L2VPN Manager to substitute the real CEs. A non-managed CE also represents a customer site. Non-managed CEs help to represent the connectivity between PEs and actual customer sites in the network topology.

PE devices

PEs are the most important device resources in the L2VPN Manager. The system discovers VPNs and VPN links by obtaining information on PEs. VPLS VPN network deployment is also performed on PEs.

You can import, query, synchronize, and delete PEs, and view detailed information about a PE. The information displayed on a PE details page varies with the VPN type you selected during VPN

deployment. For example, if you have deployed a VLL VPN, the PE details page displays VLL information.

VPN deployment

The L2VPN Manager provides the VPN deployment function that allows for simple and user-friendly operations. You do not need to go to different labs or use command lines to configure a VPN. This greatly reduces the time and working load for maintenance.

VPN deployment consists of VPLS deployment, VLL deployment, PBB deployment, undeployment, and deployment task management. VPLS/VLL/VBB deployments allow you to conveniently add PE devices to a VPN in different ways and connect PEs with CEs. Undeployment allows you to remove PEs from a VPN or remove links between PEs and CEs. Deployment task management allows you to view the deployment tasks, modify a deployment task, and deploy the configuration in a task to devices.

This function cannot be used when BGP VPN is selected on the global parameter configuration page.

VPLS deployment

This function helps you configure and deploy a VPN of VPLS type. After you configure a VPLS VPN, if you do not deploy the VPN configuration immediately, a deployment task in state of "undeployed" is added on the deployment task list.
