Hi,

VPLS is not supported on XRv.
You need to fall back to a pyhsical router for this.

Cheers

Actually VPLS config is supported on XRv, but because it is offloaded to line cards, data plane will fail while control plane will work and prefixes will be exchanged. If you want to play with VPLS on Cisco, use CSR1k with appropriate image, it 100% supports VPLS.

This is true for the old XRv. On XRv9000 you have a separate VM for DP, so it would be supported if Cisco wouldnt have stripped that feature from the virtual XR.
I see no point in doing VPLS stuff on IOS-XE if you deparetly are trying to get it running on IOS-XR.
