IRB will keep the instance "UP" ... therefore use the following knob

 set routing-instances VPLS protocols vpls connectivity-type ce

This will ignore the IRB being up.

Hi Clarke .. what's the config ? Are you using irb interfaces ?
If no irb, and the PE1 is directly connected to CE1, on interface down
the VPLS primary should switchover.

Sean,

Yes, I am using irb interfaces. Since they are not listed under the "site" stanza, I did not think the irb would make any difference. Obviously, I was mistaken.

Is there any way to force the failover mechanism to work when configured for irb? Or is there a workaround to consider?

I am trying to terminate the "L3 side" of the VPLS instance with VRRP (defined in a VRF instance that include the same irb) on the MX routers that are configured to support a VPLS multihomed site. Can I still do this, or does the irb have to be on a separate physical MX router?
