Information About a Bridge Domain Interface Chapter 11 Configuring Bridge Domain Interfaces Prior to configuring a bridge domain interface, you must understand the following concepts: • Ethernet Virtual Circuit Overview, page 11-2 • Assigning a MAC Address, page 11-2 • Support for IP Protocols, page 11-2 • Support for IP Forwarding, page 11-3 • Packet Forwarding, page 11-3 • Bridge Domain Interface Statistics, page 11-4 Ethernet Virtual Circuit Overview An Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) is an end-to-end representation of a single instance of a Layer 2 service being offered by a provider to a customer. It embodies the different parameters on which the service is being offered. In the Cisco EVC Framework, the bridge domains are made up of one or more Layer 2 interfaces known as service instances. A service instance is the instantiation of an EVC on a given port on a given router. Service instance is associated with a bridge domain based on the configuration. An incoming frame can be classified as service instance based on the following criteria: • Single 802.1Q VLAN tag, priority-tagged, or 802.1ad VLAN tag • Both QinQ (inner and outer) VLAN tags, or both 802.1ad S-VLAN and C-VLAN tags • Outer 802.1p CoS bits, inner 802.1p CoS bits, or both • Payload Ethernet type (five choices are supported: IPv4, IPv6, PPPoE-all, PPoE-discovery, and PPPoE-session) Service instance also supports alternative mapping criteria: • Untagged-Mapping to all the frames lacking a 802.1Q or 802.1ad header • Default-Mapping to all the frames For more information on the EVC architecture, see Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections on the Cisco ASR 1000 Router chapter in the Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide located at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/cether/configuration/xe-3s/ce-ether-vc-infra-xe.html. Assigning a MAC Address All the bridge domain interfaces on the Cisco ASR 1000 chassis share a common MAC address. The first bridge domain interface on a bridge domain is allocated a MAC address. Thereafter, the same MAC address is assigned to all the bridge domain interfaces that are created in that bridge domain. Note You can configure a static MAC address on a bridge domain interface using the mac-address command. Support for IP Protocols Bridge domain interface supports the following IP-related protocols: • UDP 11-2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide OL-16506-10

Configuring Bridge Domain Interfaces
Information About a Bridge Domain Interface
Prior to configuring a bridge domain interface, you must understand the following concepts:
Ethernet Virtual Circuit Overview, page 11-2
Assigning a MAC Address, page 11-2
Support for IP Protocols, page 11-2
Support for IP Forwarding, page 11-3
Packet Forwarding, page 11-3

Ethernet Virtual Circuit Overview
An Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) is an end-to-end representation of a single instance of a Layer 2
service being offered by a provider to a customer. It embodies the different parameters on which the
service is being offered. In the Cisco EVC Framework, the bridge domains are made up of one or more
Layer 2 interfaces known as service instances. A service instance is the instantiation of an EVC on a
given port on a given router. Service instance is associated with a bridge domain based on the
configuration.
An incoming frame can be classified as service instance based on the following criteria:
Single 802.1Q VLAN tag, priority-tagged, or 802.1ad VLAN tag
Both QinQ (inner and outer) VLAN tags, or both 802.1ad S-VLAN and C-VLAN tags
Outer 802.1p CoS bits, inner 802.1p CoS bits, or both
Payload Ethernet type (five choices are supported: IPv4, IPv6, PPPoE-all, PPoE-discovery, and
PPPoE-session)
Service instance also supports alternative mapping criteria:
Untagged—Mapping to all the frames lacking a 802.1Q or 802.1ad header
Default—Mapping to all the frames
For more information on the EVC architecture, see Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections on the
Cisco ASR 1000 Router chapter in the
Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide
located at
.
Assigning a MAC Address
All the bridge domain interfaces on the Cisco ASR 1000 chassis share a common MAC address. The first
bridge domain interface on a bridge domain is allocated a MAC address. Thereafter, the same MAC
address is assigned to all the bridge domain interfaces that are created in that bridge domain.
Note
You can configure a static MAC address on a bridge domain interface using the
mac-address
command.
Support for IP Protocols
Bridge domain interface supports the following IP-related protocols:
