Configuring a PE

Establish an ordinary IBGP peer relationship between a PE and an ASBR-PE in an AS, and an MP-EBGP

peer relationship between PEs of different ASs.
The PEs and ASBR-PEs in an AS must be able to exchange labeled IPv4 routes.
To configure a PE for inter-AS option C:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter BGP view.

bgp as-number N/A

3.

Configure the ASBR-PE in the
same AS as an IBGP peer.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
as-number as-number

By default, no BGP peer is created.

4.

Configure the PE of another
AS as an EBGP peer.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
as-number as-number

By default, no BGP peer is created.

5.

Enter BGP IPv4 unicast

address family view.

address-family ipv4 [ unicast ]

N/A

6.

Enable the PE to exchange
IPv4 unicast routes with the

peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
enable

By default, BGP does not exchange
IPv4 unicast routes with any peer.

7.

Enable the PE to exchange

labeled IPv4 routes with the
ASBR-PE in the same AS.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
label-route-capability

By default, BGP does not advertise
labeled routes to any IPv4 peer or

peer group.

8.

Return to BGP view.

quit

N/A

9.

Enter BGP-VPNv4 address
family view.

address-family vpnv4

N/A

10.

Enable the PE to exchange

VPNv4 routes with the peer or
peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
enable

By default, BGP does not exchange
VPNv4 routes with any peer.

11.

(Optional.) Configure the PE

to not change the next hop of
routes advertised to the EBGP

peer.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
next-hop-invariable

Configure this command on the RR
so the RR does not change the next

hop of advertised VPNv4 routes.

Configuring an ASBR-PE

In the inter-AS option C solution, an inter-AS LSP is required, and the public network routes advertised

between the relevant PEs and ASBRs must carry MPLS label information.
An ASBR-PE establishes common IBGP peer relationships with PEs in the same AS, and a common EBGP

peer relationship with the peer ASBR-PE. All of them can exchange labeled IPv4 routes.
Public network routes carrying MPLS labels are advertised through MP-BGP. According to RFC 3107

"Carrying Label Information in BGP-4," the label mapping information for a particular route is
piggybacked in the same BGP update message that is used to distribute the route. This capability is

implemented through BGP extended attributes and requires that BGP peers can handle labeled IPv4

routes.
