I was informed by a Cisco employee that there was an issue getting the Layer 2 VPN to work with a vIOS-XR image on EVE-ng. The issue is NOT with the Control Plane but rather getting the Data Plane to function properly. I was also informed that IOS-XR version 6.1.3 would work but there is still an issue with the Data Plane. He further informed me that is was not an issue with Cisco but was an issue with EVE-ng platform. Has anyone been successful getting Layer 2 VPN working on Cisco IOS-XR?
Many thanks...

Re: Layer 2 VPN with Cisco IOS-XR version 6.1.3
IOS XRv is control plane only. It doesn't support L2VPN. If you need L2VPN in virtual environment, you can use XRv9000.
No issues at all with EVE, all works
XR9000v version:
