Configuring Inter-Provider Vpn; Configuring Inter-Provider Vpn Option A - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

To do...
Apply a routing policy to a peer
or peer group
For information about BGP routing, refer to BGP Configuration in the IP Routing Volume.

Configuring Inter-Provider VPN

If the MPLS backbone on which the VPN routes rely spans multiple ASs, you need to configure
inter-provider VPN.
There are three inter-provider VPN solutions. You can choose them as required.
Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring inter-provider VPN, complete these tasks:
Configuring IGP for the MPLS backbones in each AS to implement IP connectivity of the
backbones in the AS
Configuring basic MPLS capabilities for the MPLS backbones of each AS
Configuring MPLS LDP for the MPLS backbones so that LDP LSPs can be established
Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN for each AS
When configuring basic MPLS L3VPN for each AS, specific configurations may be required on PEs or
ASBR-PEs. This depends on the inter-provider VPN solution selected.

Configuring Inter-Provider VPN Option A

Inter-provider VPN option A applies to scenarios where the number of VPNs and that of VPN routes on
the PEs are relatively small. It is simple to implement.
To configure inter-provider VPN option A, you only need to:
Configure basic MPLS L3VPN on each AS.
Configure each ASBR, taking the peer ASBR PE as its CE.
In other words, configure VPN instances for PEs and ASBR PEs respectively. The VPN instance for PE
is used to allow CEs to access the network, while that for ASBR-PE is used to access its peer
ASBR-PE.
Use the command...
peer { group-name |
ip-address } route-policy
route-policy-name { export |
import }
1-35
Remarks
Optional
By default, no routing policy is
applied to a peer or peer group.
