What tutorial?  The Linux kernel does not support VPLS.  FRR supports
it, but only on OpenBSD, and it's not regularly tested.

Well, yes, the "setup" is that someone needs to implement it for the
Linux kernel.  I have done so previously in my free time as a side
project (= proof of concept, incomplete), but noone is currently funding
development or testing in this direction.
