Hi, 


I would like help to configure a l2vc between two layer 3 switches (S6730) that can be able to forward 9000+ MTU frames. 


MPLS and MPLS LDP are already configured on P and PE. Interfaces facing customer (CE) are in "undo portswitch" mode to allow subinterfaces.


The picture has details about the intended scenario:


l2vc

Hi ptomasi, 

By default, the maximum frame length of S6730 is 9216 bytes. For details, please refer to https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1100126530&id=EN-US_CLIREF_0177114416&lang=en

For configuring the MTU value of MPLS l2vc, you can configure the mtu parameter after the MPLS l2vc command. For more information, please refer to https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1100126530&id=EN-US_CLIREF_0177117250&lang=en

I hope it helps!

There will be things you need to configure for MPLS l2VC .

1- Targeted LDP session between the peer where the sub-interfaces are
2- L2VC binding to the sub-interfaces

on SW-3 10.0.0.1

#
mpls ldp remote-peer SW3
remote-ip 10.0.0.4
mpls ldp local-lsr-id LoopBack0
#

#
interface XXX.XX
vlan-type dot1q 1840
description XXXXXX
mpls l2vc XXXX
statistic enable
#

on SW-3 10.0.0.4


#
mpls ldp remote-peer SW3
remote-ip 10.0.0.1
mpls ldp local-lsr-id LoopBack0
#

#
interface XXX.XX
vlan-type dot1q 1840
description XXXXXX
mpls l2vc XXXX
statistic enable

Great,

In the example above, do I need to set this extra parameters on 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.4:

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface xgigabitethernet 0/0/7
[HUAWEI-XGigabitEthernet0/0/7] jumboframe enable 9000

#

And in subinterface level:

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface xgigabitethernet 0/0/7.30
[HUAWEI-XGigabitEthernet0/0/7.30] mpls l2vc mtu 9000


Is this the best way to configure?

You need to configure MTU size on sub interfaces.
as follows
interface XGigabitEthernet0/0/7.30
vlan-type dot1q 30
mtu 9000

@SW2
Need to enable Jumboframe on main interfaces on both switches  
Hi,

One last question: is it mandatory on SW3 to change MTU (or turn on jumboframe capability) on physical interfaces that serves subinterfaces?

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface xgigabitethernet 0/0/7
[HUAWEI-XGigabitEthernet0/0/7] jumboframe enable 9000

L2VC MTU-3381053-1
