Step Command

Remarks

7.

Advertise routes to the UPE.

Advertise a default VPN route
to the UPE:

peer { group-name | ip-address

[ mask-length ] }
default-route-advertise

vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name

Advertise routes permitted by a

routing policy to the UPE:

peer { group-name | ip-address

[ mask-length ] } upe
route-policy route-policy-name

export

By default, no route is advertised to
the UPE.
Do not configure both commands.
The peer default-route-advertise
vpn-instance command advertises

a default route using the local
address as the next hop to the UPE,

regardless of whether the default

route is present in the local routing
table. However, if the specified

peer is not a UPE, the command

does not advertise a default route.

8.

Return to BGP view.

9.

Create a BGP-VPN instance,

and enter BGP-VPN instance
view.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

By default, no BGP-VPN instance is
created.

Configuring an OSPF sham link

When a backdoor link exists between the two sites of a VPN, you can create a sham link between PEs
to forward VPN traffic through the sham link on the backbone rather than the backdoor link. A sham link

is considered an OSPF intra-area route.
The source and destination addresses of the sham link must be loopback interface addresses with 32-bit

masks. The loopback interfaces must be bound to VPN instances, and their addresses are advertised

through BGP.
Before you configure an OSPF sham link, complete the following tasks:

Configure basic MPLS L3VPN (OSPF is used between PE and CE).

Configure OSPF in the LAN where customer CEs reside.

Configuring a loopback interface

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

2.

Create a loopback interface
and enter loopback interface

view.

interface loopback
interface-number

By default, no loopback interface is
created.

3.

Associate the loopback

interface with a VPN instance.

ip binding vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name

By default, the interface is
associated with no VPN instance.

4.

Configure the address of the

loopback interface.

ip address ip-address { mask |
mask-length }
