pseudowire
To bind an attachment circuit to a Layer 2 pseudowire for xconnect service, use the pseudowire
command in interface configuration mode.

Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines The combination of the pee
r-ip-address and vcid arguments must be unique on the router. Each
pseudowire configuration must have a unique combination of peer-ip-address and vcid configuration.
The same vc
id value that identifies the attachment circuit must be configured using the pseudowire
command on the local and remote router at each end of a Layer 2 session. The virtual circuit identifier
creates the binding between a pseudowire and an attachment circuit.
The pw-c
lass pw-class-name value binds the pseudowire configuration of an attachment circuit to a
specific pseudowire class. In this way, the pseudowire class configuration serves as a template that
contains settings used by all attachment circuits bound to it with the pseudowire command.
peer-ip-address The IP address of the remote peer.
vcid The 32-bit identifier of the virtual circuit between the routers at each end of
th
e Layer 2 control channel.
pw-class
p
w-class-name
The pseudowire class configuration from which the data encapsulation type
will be taken.
sequencing {tr
ansmit |
receive | both}
(Optional) Sets the sequencing method to be used for packets received or
sent in L2TP sessions:
• transmit—Sequencing of Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) data packets
received from the session.
• receive—Sequencing of L2TP data packets sent into the session.
• both—Sequencing of L2TP data packets that are both sent and received
from the session.
