on each PE to establish a remote session between the two PEs and transfer VC FECs and VC labels
through the session.
2. Create a Martini VC on a Layer 3 interface.
In this way, packets arriving at this interface are forwarded over the created VC. If the Layer 3
interface is a VLAN interface, all packets carrying the tag of the VLAN are forwarded over the VC,
no matter which Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces that the packets arrive at. The device chooses a VC for
a received packet according to only the VLAN tag carried in the packet. It cannot differentiate the
users and services on different Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces. HP recommends that you create a VC
on a VLAN interface when all users connected to the VLAN interface have their packets forwarded
over the same VC.

3. Specify the IP address of the remote peer as that
of the peer PE.

Creating a Martini VC on a Layer 3 interface
A Martini VC has two main parameters: IP address of the peer PE, and VC ID. The combination of the VC
ID and the encapsulation type must be unique on a PE. Changing the encapsulation type might result in
VC ID conflicts.
To create a Martini VC on a Layer 3 interface of a PE:

To implement VC redundancy,
specify the backup-peer keyword
to create a backup VC.
Support for keywords
ip-interworking and backup-peer
depends on the device model.
4. Switch traffic from the active
VC to the standby VC.
