Configuring route related attributes for a VPN instance

VPN routes are controlled and advertised on a PE by using the following process:

1.

When a VPN route learned from a site gets redistributed into BGP, BGP associates it with a route
target extended community attribute list, which is typically the export target attribute of the VPN

instance associated with the site.

2.

The VPN instance determines which routes it can accept and redistribute according to the
import-extcommunity in the route target.

3.

The VPN instance determines how to change the route target attributes for routes to be advertised

according to the export-extcommunity in the route target.

To configure route related attributes for a VPN instance:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter VPN instance view
or IPv4 VPN view.

Enter VPN instance view:
ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

Enter IPv4 VPN view:

a.

ip vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name

b.

ipv4-family

Configurations made in VPN
instance view apply to both IPv4

VPN and IPv6 VPN.
IPv4 VPN prefers the
configurations in IPv4 VPN view

over the configurations in VPN

instance view.

3.

Configure route targets.

vpn-target vpn-target&<1-8> [ both |
export-extcommunity |

import-extcommunity ]

By default, no route targets are
configured.

4.

Set the maximum

number of active routes
allowed.

routing-table limit number
{ warn-threshold | simply-alert }

By default, the maximum number of
active routes in the VPN instance is

not limited.
Setting the maximum number of
active routes for a VPN instance

can prevent the PE from learning

too many routes.

5.

Apply an import routing

policy.

import route-policy route-policy

By default, all routes matching the
import target attribute are
accepted.
The specified routing policy must
have been created.
For information about routing
policies, see Layer 3—IP Routing

Configuration Guide.

6.

Apply an export routing
policy.

export route-policy route-policy

By default, routes to be advertised
are not filtered.
The specified routing policy must
have been created.
For information about routing
policies, see Layer 3—IP Routing

Configuration Guide.
