, VPN 1 and VPN 2 can access Site 3 of VPN 1.

PE 3 can receive the VPN-IPv4 routes advertised by PE 1 and PE 2.

PE 1 and PE 2 can receive the VPN-IPv4 routes advertised by PE 3.

Based on the above, Site 1 and Site 3 of VPN 1 can communicate with each other, and Site 2 of
VPN 2 and Site 3 of VPN 1 can communicate with each other.

PE 3 advertises neither the VPN-IPv4 routes received from PE 1 to PE 2, nor the VPN-IPv4 routes
received from PE 2 to PE 1 (that is, routes learned from an IBGP neighbor will not be advertised to

any other IBGP neighbor). Therefore, Site 1 of VPN 1 and Site 2 of VPN 2 cannot communicate

with each other.

OSPF VPN Extension

NOTE:

This section focuses on the OSPF VPN extension. For more information about OSPF, see

OSPF

Configuration in the IP Routing Volume.

OSPF multi-instance on PE

OSPF is a prevalent IGP protocol. In many cases, VPN clients are connected through BGP peers, and the

clients often run OSPF. Running OSPF between PEs and CEs can simplify the configuration and

management of the CEs, because the CEs only need to support OSPF. In addition, if the customers

require L3VPN services through conventional OSPF backbone, using OSPF between PEs and CEs can

simplify the transition.
For OSPF to run between CEs and PEs, the PEs must support multiple OSPF instances. Each OSPF

instance must correspond to a VPN instance and have its own interface and routing table.
The following describes details of OSPF configuration between PEs and CEs.

Configuration of OSPF areas between PEs and CEs

The OSPF area between a PE and a CE can be either a non-backbone area or a backbone area.
