Parameter Function Values

packets will be sent, to enable
reaching the destination IP address.
This is usually the address of an IP
router port
Type in the next hop IP address using the

Configuring the Pseudowire Peers
The peers (the pseudowire destinations) and the associated routing information
are defined in a table that can include up to 100 destinations.
Each peer (destination) is assigned a unique index number. The index number is
then used to specify the pseudowire destination, instead of directly providing the
necessary destination information.
•
Pseudowires configured on different MPW-1 modules must be configured with
different peers, even if the destination address is the same.
•
Different peers must not have the same destination IP address and the same
Next Hop IP address (at least one of these parameters must be different).
Therefore, if it necessary for several pseudowires to reach the same IP
address, create separate router interfaces.
³ To configure peers parameters:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Applications > Router screen.
2. Select the Peers option.
3. Select the desired peer index:
To modify an existing peer, enter its number in the Peer Number field, or
scroll using F and B
To define a new peer, select Add. The new peer is automatically assigned
the next free number, in the range of 1 to 100.
4. To delete unnecessary peers, select Delete (you will be requested to
confirm).
Table
