VPLS question

Sun Nov 09, 2014 11:31 pm

So I moved from EOIP to VPLS, and I encountered some problems *here* is the network layout example.

Everything is bridged via local bridge, but on router 10.0.0.1 I created separated bridge called "switch" and assigned eth4 port to it,
I also created two VPLS interfaces with different VPLS ID and assigned them to bridge "switch" on this router.

on both client routers, I created bridge "switch" and also assigned some ports and VPLS to it, it works, but when client 1 starts receiving traffic, same traffic is also sent to client 2, and also the other way around, so it acts like a hub.

Any idea how i could prevent this, or should I move to VLANs instead?

Hope you realize that when you create a bridge and add interfaces to it, the desired result you are looking for is for each and every interface to receive the same traffic ...
