HP Comware Lab L2VPN Support

[Pete W]

Any idea whether the new HP Comware Lab (7.1.59) supports L2VPN?

I'm asking as I'm pretty sure that the previous version didn't.

Regards,

Hello Peter,

7.1.59 does not. You can configure it, but no traffic seems to go through (e.g. after sending a ping one side shows the partners MAC in ARP table, other side does not, seems like unidirectional traffic?).

Same for VPLS.

Best regards,

Ingo

Hello,

To my experience MPLS L2VPN as well as VXLAN/EVPN do not work with bridged-ports in the simulator; can be configured but traffic is not flowing. However they work perfectly using a routed port towards the end-node.

Try for having traffic untagged / access port:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
port link-mode route
xconnect vsi <VSI-Name>

Example adding a tagged VLAN; use a sub interface:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1.10
vlan-type dot1q vid 10
xconnect vsi <VSI-Name>

Best use a router manual for reference on the setup, i.e. VSR1000 manuals.

Ingo
