Configuring Nested Vpn - HP MSR2000 Configuration Manual

Configuring nested VPN

For a network with many VPNs, nested VPN is a good solution to implement layered management of
VPNs and to conceal the deployment of internal VPNs.
To build a nested VPN network, perform the following configurations:
• Configurations between customer PE and customer CE—Configure VPN instances on the customer
PE and configure route exchange between customer PE and customer CE.
Configurations between customer PE and provider CE—Configure BGP VPNv4 route exchange
•
between them.
• Configurations between provider CE and provider PE—Configure VPN instances and enable
nested VPN on the provider PE and configure BGP VPNv4 route exchange between the provider CE
and provider PE. To make sure the provider CE can receive all VPNv4 routes, configure the undo
policy vpn-target command on the provider CE to not filter VPNv4 routes by RTs.
Configurations between provider PEs—Configure BGP VPNv4 route exchange between them.
•
Nested VPN allows a customer PE to directly exchange VPNv4 routes with a provider PE, without
needing to deploy a provider CE. In this case, the customer PE also acts as the provider CE. Therefore,
you must configure provider CE settings on it.
Configurations on the customer CE, customer PE, and provider CE are similar to basic MPLS L3VPN
configurations. This task describes the configurations on the provider PE.
When you configure nested VPN, follow these guidelines:
The address spaces of sub-VPNs of a VPN cannot overlap.
•
Do not assign nested VPN peers addresses that public network peers use.
•
Nested VPN does not support multihop EBGP. A provider PE and a provider CE must use the
•
addresses of the directly connected interfaces to establish a neighbor relationship.
To configure nested VPN:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter BGP view.
3. Enter BGP VPNv4 address
family view.
4. Enable nested VPN.
5. Return to BGP view.
6. Enter BGP-VPN instance view.
7. Specify the peer CE or the peer
group of the peer CE.
8. Create the BGP-VPN VPNv4
address family and enter its
view.
9. Enable BGP VPNv4 route
exchange with the peer CE or
the peer group of the peer CE.
