Associating a VPN instance with an interface

After creating and configuring a VPN instance, you need to associate the VPN instance with the interface

for connecting the CE. Any LDP-capable interface can be associated with a VPN instance. For
information about LDP-capable interfaces, see the chapter “Configuring basic MPLS.”
To associate a VPN instance with an interface:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Associate a VPN instance

with the interface.

ip binding vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name

No VPN instance is associated
with an interface by default.

NOTE:

The ip binding vpn-instance command clears the IP address of the interface on which it is configured. Be
sure to re-configure an IP address for the interface after configuring the command.

Configuring route related attributes for a VPN instance

The control process of VPN route advertisement is as follows:

•

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

instance associated with the CE.

•

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

•

The VPN instance determines how to change the VPN targets attributes for routes to be advertised
according to the export-extcommunity in the VPN 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.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name N/A

3.

4.

Configure VPN targets.

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

import-extcommunity ]

Required

5.

routes supported.

routing-table limit number
