Creating a VPN Instance
A VPN instance needs to be associated with a site. A VPN instance does not correspond to a VPN
directly. Instead, a VPN instance is an integration of the VPN membership and routing rules of its
corresponding site.
A VPN instance takes effect only after a route distinguisher (RD) is configured for it. For a VPN instance
with the RD not configured, all the other settings (except the description information) are inaccessible.
The description information of a VPN instance can be used to record the relationship between the VPN
instance and a VPN.
Follow these steps to create a VPN instance:
To do...
Enter system view
