does anyone of you tried this? i have this hotspot configured in vpls. but i have problem accessing the hotspot portal its just loading. what am i missing?
What exactly are you trying to achieve with VPLS?
I have the Hotspot interface in a VLAN on the bridge on the core / BNG router with the bridge on the remote CAPs (with CAPsMAn local forwarding) tunneled over VPLS to the hotspot interface bridge on the core / BNG router.
You may find these two MUM presentations I just found onine useful:
- Hotspot over BGP based VPLS network
- MPLS for ISPs – PPPoE [or alternatively HotSpot bridge linked] over VPLS
Using BGP may introduce additional unnecessary complexity for you, particulalry if your network is small.
