Yes you can definitely add a secondary RR to add redundancy to the solution. Will see about creating a new video with this topology to get that done, there are two preferred ways I can suggest. One being a bit more practical and best practice than the other but both ways allows for redundancy.
@@TheNetworkBerg Thanks for the quick reply. I run a small network with 9 sites and we are testing this type of design in our lab and might update our current LDP signaled VPLS with this design. Great videos, keep up the good work.
thank you for great explanation. What version. of ROS you used ? I migrated my lab to 6.48.3 and vpls is not coming up. BGP session established, but VPLS in DB state.
Hi vasja, I was using version 6.48 and 6.48.1 in the videos. I've seen some complaints about certain things on version 6.48.x so it might be a software bug in .3, though you would have to log a ticket with MikroTik to verify, unless this is just for your labs. I could also recommend version 6.47.10 as that is considered the "long-term" version.
Hi Nikola, this is definitely something we can revisit in a tutorial or in the livestream. In essence the control word is just information added to the header to make sure the routers do not confuse the information given as IP but to make sure it is seen as a Mac-Address.
Hey Nikola, the VRRP is not required for the VPLS this was mainly to showcase that a protocol like VRRP that runs over L2 is able to communicate between routers using the VPLS. As for a use-case scenario I think this would be ideal for running a DR (Disaster Recovery) on your server infrastructure where your machines could share IPs in a passive-active state, however, should the primary DC go down you can fail over to the DR without much configuration changes needing to happen on the server side as default gateways will remain the same and traffic will route normally. And yes I checked now and VXLAN does exist on v7, though this is still beta and I would recommend not bringing Beta features into a production environment. So I will only cover VXLAN on MikroTik after the offical v7 release (With the extra bug fixes that need to come after such a major release hehe)
@@TheNetworkBerg When you have time can you do V7 on this topic? There has been lots of improvements and bug fixes in V7 now that lots of things are working and options are available from Winbox.
Many viewers have asked me if there is some way to get EVE-NG PRO cheaper, I approached their team and they have given me a discount code that people can use that want to get EVE-NG PRO at a lower price. Note I do not make anything out of this discount code. It was simply given to me because I asked for some way to give my viewers EVE-NG Pro at a better price so that you do not have to wait for Black Friday to get a better deal Code: VBERG10M Happy labbing all :D! (It is 10% off the purchase, every bit of saving helps)
Respected Sir... I need your help for configuring Mikrotiks MPLS /OSPF somethig like .. which one is best for my network i will share here my network diagram via text--------------------------- I have 1 PPPOE with Hotspot server in BTS with CRS24p SW and 8 Location towers with CRS24P Switch (From BTS to ALL towers connected via 2 fiber and 1 RF Point to Point) Which configuration is recommanded for my network kindly reply as soon as possible.. or any Video link
Hehe, will get to it soon! I have created labs using Ansible and MikroTik before and it was swell (Though I will probably have to relearn some stuff) If you want to see something right now I could recommend Greg Sowell he is a creator that has been uploading to UA-cam for YEARS and is very experienced! ua-cam.com/video/Zk_hX4EGz0s/v-deo.html I will give my own spin on Ansible very soon though :d!
Excellent video!!
I like the way this guy switch between winbox and cli regularly
Great video! Now, how does this same scenario work in the ROSv7 version?

Can I have in this BGP Signaled VPLS more then two sites in the same VPLS?
Traffic Engineering TE could be done using this type of vpls?
3:49 is this CORE Network doesn´t a MPLS BGP-Free CORE?
Can you setup a backup or secondary route reflector with this design to avoid a single point of failure?
Yes you can definitely add a secondary RR to add redundancy to the solution. Will see about creating a new video with this topology to get that done, there are two preferred ways I can suggest. One being a bit more practical and best practice than the other but both ways allows for redundancy.

@@TheNetworkBerg Afrer few sleepless nights I figure out that issue was in LDP topology configuration for VPLS.
@@vasjabatareikin6016 Happy to hear you figured it out mate :)!
can you give us more info about "VPLS Control Word"
Hi Nikola, this is definitely something we can revisit in a tutorial or in the livestream. In essence the control word is just information added to the header to make sure the routers do not confuse the information given as IP but to make sure it is seen as a Mac-Address.
@@TheNetworkBerg how do you turn off vpls control word ?
How to add BGP-VPLS to Bridge with VLAN(VLAN Filtering enabled)?
thx!!!
You're welcome Roman :D!
Hey Berg,
i'm not sure what is the purpose for VRRP between CPE1 and CPE2, and one more question.
Does vrrp need to be /32?
and also, i think vlanx it does existing on v7

Although it might be fun to lab VXLAN on MikroTik even in Beta so I might even put that in a stream somewhere :D!
Which is faster? the ordinary VPLS or the BGP/CISCO VPLS?
Would you mind sharing the lab?
Sorry I Think most of these labs have been lost after a reformat, will need to redo them.
