The following routing protocols can be used between MCE and PE devices for routing formation exchange: • Static route • RIP • OSPF • IBGP • EBGP For information about routing protocol configuration and route import, see Layer 3-IP Routing Configuration Guide. Configuring an MCE Configuring VPN instances Configuring VPN instances is required in all MCE networking schemes. By configuring VPN instances on a PE, you isolate not only VPN routes from public network routes, but also routes of a VPN from those of another VPN. This feature allows VPN instances to be used in networking scenarios besides MCE. Creating a VPN Instance A VPN instance is associated with a site. It is a collection of the VPN membership and routing rules of its associated site. A VPN instance does not necessarily correspond to one VPN. A VPN instance takes effect only after you configure an RD for it. Before configuring an RD for a VPN instance, you can configure no other parameters for the instance but a description. You can configure a description for a VPN instance to record its related information, such as its relationship with a certain VPN. To create and configure a VPN instance: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Create a VPN instance and enter VPN instance view. 3. Configure an RD for the VPN instance. 4. Configure a description for the VPN instance. Command system-view ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name route-distinguisher route-distinguisher description text Remarks N/A N/A For easy management, set the same RD for the same VPN instance on the MCE and PE. Optional Associating a VPN instance with an interface In an MPLS L3VPN application, you must associate VPN instances with the interfaces connecting the PEs. In a tunneling application, you must associate VPN instances with the tunnel interfaces connecting the peer MCE devices or CE devices. You can add a management Ethernet interface on the switch to a VPN so that the IP address of the interface only participates in the route calculation of the specified VPN. 273
