Pseudowire cross-connect

The pseudowire cross-connect feature enables virtual circuit (VC) to terminate locally on a router and supports local switching of Layer 2 circuits. Layer 2 circuits allows the creation of point-to-point Layer 2 connections over an IP and MPLS-based network. Physical circuits with the same Layer 2 encapsulations can be connected together across such a network. You can terminate a Layer 2 circuit locally on an ingress PE router. To configure a locally terminated circuit, include the local-switching statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit] hierarchy level. Select the Layer 2 circuit interfaces you want to connect locally, specify any APS protect interfaces, and configure an end interface. To select the Layer 2 circuit interfaces that are connected locally, include the interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching] hierarchy level. To configure an end interface, include the end-interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name] hierarchy level. To specify APS protect interfaces, include the protect-interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name] or at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name end-interface interface-name] hierarchy levels.
