VPWS Configuration Examples
In the previous articles, we have seen Epipe Configuration Examples, Local Epipe and Distributed Epipe Configurations. Here, we will focus on another VPWS types, Fpipe, Apipe and Cpipe.
Fpipe Configuration
VPWS Fpipe Configuration is similar to Epipe Configuration with some differences. These differences are given below:
• Configured Service Type is “Fpipe”
• SAP encapsulation is SONET for “Frame Relay”
• SAP configuration form is like port:DLCI (1/1/1 : 30)
DLCI is a specific Frame-Relay term that refer to the Frame-Relay virtual circuit.
Fpipe Configuration Example
As an example, for a Distributed configuration topology, VPWS Fpipe Configuration will be like below:
Router # configure service
Apipe Configuration
VPWS Apipe Configuration is also similar to Epipe Configuration with some differences. These differences are given below:
• Configured Service Type is “Apipe”
• SAP encapsulation is SONET for “ATM”
• SAP configuration form is like port:VP/VC (1/1/1 : 0/100)
VP/VC is a specific ATM term that refer to the ATM virtual circuit.
Apipe Configuration Example
As an example, for a Distributed configuration topology, VPWS Apipe Configuration will be like below:
Router # configure service
Cpipe Configuration
VPWS Cpipe Configuration is also similar to Epipe Configuration with some differences. These differences are given below:
• Configured Service Type is “Cpipe”
• SAP encapsulation is SONET for “TDM” (BCP-null OR BPC-dot1q)
• SAP configuration form is changes depending on the vc-type used like: 1/1/1:2.16.1
One more type is Ipipe. This is the interworking of diferent types each other. One node is one type and the other is another. This type will be discussed in a different article.
This article series are the overview of the configuration of VPWS services. I hope this artciles will be helpful for you.
Nice to meet you Gokhan. Your work background is impressive. How did you achieve this impressive work exprerince in this age?
Hi Huo, nice to meet you too;) Thanks for your kind sentences. But I have no much experience, only 5 years:)
Hi gokhankosem
you are given the very complex information in very very easy manner. you are realy great.Thank You so much :-)
merci
Thank u so much for all these explanations. My mind is so much clearer after reading your posts!
yes its very complex to manage to different Vendor Router equipment’s , its Very Nice full Gokhan ,
