Re: [c-nsp] VPLS to multiple end points

Option 1 - VPLS can be manual (using only LDP and you *typing in the
neighbor ip addresses* to land the pw's on)

Option 2 - VPLS can be auto-neighbor discovered...
- BGP does the AD (auto discovery, that is, for the PE's participating in
the vpls)
- PW/LSP set up - can be signaled via BGP or LDP (RFC 4761 or 4762
respectively)

Of course with option 2 you need to fire up bgp on those pe's, I use a
private AS (64512-65535, pick one)... immediately consider RR, and dual RR
hub at that....

I thought I had some config from when I tested vpls on 920's a few years
ago, but I do have asr903 configs, which might be similar, just verify
before you go using these configs... sharing some stuff I had from my
previous lab tests...

This appears to be an RFC 4762 config...

NOTES.. Just like ME3600, ASR903 cannot change 4761 to 4762 within the vfi
on-the-fly.. Must delete and recreate.

% VFI auto-discovery signaling protocol changes are not allowed. Delete the
VFI and reconfigure.

% VFI removal failed. Please remove references to VFI before removal.

Also, again, I didn't like all PE's having same RD (auto) so I did
this.again, it worked without this, I mean it worked in auto RD mode, but I
did this anyway.  Not sure what is best practice.
