Before that configuration , we should add the mpls settings in our cli-vyos , it is an example:

vyos@rt-pe-1:~$ sho configuration commands | match "mpls|ospf"
set protocols mpls interface 'eth0'
set protocols mpls ldp discovery transport-ipv4-address '30.30.30.30'
set protocols mpls ldp interface 'eth0'
set protocols mpls ldp parameters transport-prefer-ipv4
set protocols mpls ldp router-id '30.30.30.30'
set protocols ospf area 0 network '0.0.0.0/0'
set protocols ospf parameters abr-type 'cisco'
set protocols ospf parameters router-id '30.30.30.30'
set protocols ospf passive-interface-exclude 'eth0'

vyos@rt-pe-1:~$ sho configuration commands | match "br0"
set interfaces bridge br0 description 'test-vpls on vyos'
set interfaces bridge br0 member interface dum5
set interfaces bridge br0 member interface eth1

The kernel is not supporting pseudowire/VPLS now
this patch was never merged into the kernel

Are we going to just let EVPN be the L2VPN technology of choice and not go down the VPWS/VPLS route for L2VPN? EVPN is the future anyway, so going and adding VPWS/VPLS is kind of doing legacy work.
