Use 2 routers R2-NE40E-A and R3-NE40E-B as PE, they enable VPLS. CE1
connects to R2-NE40E-A and CE2 connects to R3-NE40E-B. CE1 and CE2
belong to the same VPLS.
Use LDP as the VPLS signaling to setup PW realize the connection between
CE1 and CE2.

Please refer to 1.4.6

1.4.7 Result Verification

1. After the above configuration, execute the display vsi bb verbose command on
R2-NE40E-A, and you can see that VSI named as bb establishes a PW to
R3-NE40E-B and the VSI state is up
[R2-NE40E-A]display vsi bb verbose
