Cisco – L2 / L3 on CISCO ASR

ciscodot1qlayer2layer3

I am new to CISCO and have the following problem:
I have 3 routers. Between these only one physical connection.
The VLAN 100 is connected to R1 and R2.
The VLAN 200 is connected to R1, R2 and R3.

The connection between R2 and R3 is a port-channel (two physical interface).

In particular Router 2 interests me….

All routers are running Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.06.04.

enter image description here

Router 1
Interface GE 0/0/0
- VLAN-ID 100, IP 192.168.1.1/24
- VLAN-ID 200, IP 192.168.2.1/24

Router 2
Interface GE 0/0/0
- VLAN-ID 100, IP 192.168.1.2/24
- VLAN-ID 200, IP --

Interface GE 0/0/1
- VLAN-ID 200, IP --

Router 3
Interface GE 0/0/0
- VLAN-ID 200, IP 192.168.2.2/24

Thank you!

So here is the working solution... First of all - bridge-domains are not supported under sub-interfaces!

Test stand looks like this stand

I've created two logical systems on vMX to simulate two different routers. ls1 contains interfaces ge-0/0/0.200 (tagged, VLAN 200, 192.168.200.1/24) and ge-0/0/0.100 (tagged, VLAN 100, 192.168.100.1/24); ls2 - interface ge-0/0/1.200 (tagged, VLAN 200, 192.168.200.2/24).

  • vMX software - 14.1R
  • CSRv software - 3.17.01

vMX config

logical-systems {
    ls1 {
        interfaces {
            ge-0/0/0 {
                unit 100 {
                    vlan-id 100;
                    family inet {
                        address 192.168.100.1/24;
                    }
                }
                unit 200 {
                    vlan-id 200;
                    family inet {
                        address 192.168.200.1/24;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    ls2 {
        interfaces {
            ge-0/0/1 {
                unit 200 {
                    vlan-id 200;
                    family inet {
                        address 192.168.200.2/24;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
interfaces {
    ge-0/0/0 {
        flexible-vlan-tagging;
    }
    ge-0/0/1 {
        flexible-vlan-tagging;
    }
}

You can create multiple service instances under single interface to interconnect more devices via bridge-domains.

Hope that will help!
