VPLS, TE Tunnels

Hello Experts,

Below is my setup, R1 —R2----R3 -----R4

I have 2 VPLS tunnels connecting R1–R4. And Also 2 Traffic engineering Tunnels from R1–R4

When the VPLS tunnels are active the router R1 will not route traffic to the TE tunnels, when i disable the VPLS then traffic flows via TE path. I had read somewhere that i need to create multiple loopback ip for this, i tried to do that but then the tunnels will not connect.

Any help ?

Thanks.
