Hi All,
I am trying to get VPLS working between MikroTik & Cisco.
I am using an RB2011-RM w/ ROS 6.07RC with a Cisco 6509 running IOS: Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.1(1)SY
I have just copied & pasted the following WIKI artical: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:EoMPLS_vs_Cisco#Set_up_IP_connectivity.2C_OSPF_and_LDP
We have OSPF w/ MPLS working fine in our production network using a variety of RouterBoards and mostly Cisco 2821s & 7200s.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Well. if you did exactly as in the manual. you need to provide some more info and config of your setup.
And, update to lastest 6.x
Finally got some time to work on this again. Thanks for the feedback, now have LDP up and running OK.
Issue is now that the Cisco thinks the VC is down, however the MikroTik is showing the VPLS interface is UP.

As this is a remote lab with our supplier the only thing I have not yet been able to try is pushing some data across the VC to see if the circuit comes up.
