Configuring IPv6 MCE

This chapter describes how to configure the IPv6 MCE function.

Overview

In MPLS L3VPN networks, MCE uses static routes or dynamic routing protocols to advertise IPv4 routes
between internal networks and PEs and forwards IPv4 packets.
In IPv6 MPLS L3VPN networks, IPv6 MCE uses IPv6 static routes and dynamic routing protocols to
advertise IPv6 routes between internal networks and PEs and forwards IPv6 packets. The fundamentals
of IPv6 MCE are the same as those of MCE. For more information, see

Configuring VPN instances on an IPv6 MCE device

Configuring VPN instances is required in all MCE networking schemes.
VPN instances isolate not only VPN routes from public network routes, but also routes among VPNs. This
feature allows VPN instances to be used in networking scenarios besides MCE.

Creating a VPN instance

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. (Optional.) Configure a
description for the VPN
instance.
NOTE:
To configure BGP for a VPN instance on the MCE, you must configure an RD for the VPN instance.

Associating a VPN instance with an interface

After configuring a VPN instance, you must associate the VPN instance with the interfaces connected to
the VPN site or the PE.
To associate a VPN instance with an interface:
Command
system-view
ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
route-distinguisher
route-distinguisher

Remarks
N/A
By default, no VPN instance is
created.
By default, no RD is specified for
the VPN instance.
