In this post we will discuss on implementing L2 VPN service in Alcatel-Lucent. The two types of L2 VPN supported in ALU service router are VPWS or VLL and VPS. Different type of VPWS service exists based on network type: epipe, fpipe, apipe, ipipe. In our exercise we will configure epipe (e=ethernet) service.
The configuration of epipe service is pretty simple in 7750SR. Refer here for service model.
To add a bit complexity, we will try it in an Inter-AS network environment.

The implementation approach in our example here is referred as Model-C. In this model BGP is used for signaling service label and LDP for transport label.
