Configuring MPLS L3VPN

About MPLS L3VPN

MPLS L3VPN is a L3VPN technology used to interconnect geographically dispersed VPN sites. MPLS L3VPN uses BGP to advertise VPN routes and uses MPLS to forward VPN packets over a service provider backbone. MPLS L3VPN provides flexible networking modes, excellent scalability, and convenient support for MPLS QoS and MPLS TE.

Basic MPLS L3VPN architecture

As shown in Figure 1, a basic MPLS L3VPN architecture has the following types of devices:

·     Customer edge device—A CE device resides on a customer network and has one or more interfaces directly connected to a service provider network. It does not support MPLS.

·     Provider edge device—A PE device resides at the edge of a service provider network and is connected to one or more CEs. All MPLS VPN services are processed on PEs.

·     Provider device—A P device is a core device on a service provider network. It is not directly connected to any CEs. A P device has only basic MPLS forwarding capability and does not handle VPN routing information.

Figure 1 Basic MPLS L3VPN architecture

MPLS L3VPN concepts

Site

A site has the following features:

·     A site is a group of IP systems with IP connectivity that does not rely on any service provider networks.

·     The classification of a site depends on the topology relationship of the devices, rather than the geographical positions. However, the devices at a site are, in most cases, adjacent to each other geographically.

·     The devices at a site can belong to multiple VPNs, which means that a site can belong to multiple VPNs.

·     A site is connected to a provider network through one or more CEs. A site can contain multiple CEs, but a CE can belong to only one site.

Sites connected to the same provider network can be classified into different sets by policies. Only the sites in the same set can access each other through the provider network. Such a set is called a VPN.

VPN instance

VPN instances implement route isolation, data independence, and data security for VPNs.

A VPN instance has the following components:

·     A separate Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB).

·     An IP routing table.

·     Interfaces bound to the VPN instance.

·     VPN instance administration information, including route distinguishers (RDs), route targets (RTs), and route filtering policies.

To associate a site with a VPN instance, bind the VPN instance to the PE's interface connected to the site. A site can be associated with only one VPN instance, and different sites can be associated with the same VPN instance. A VPN instance contains the VPN membership and routing rules of associated sites.

VPN-IPv4 address

Each VPN independently manages its address space. The address spaces of VPNs might overlap. For example, if both VPN 1 and VPN 2 use the addresses on subnet 10.110.10.0/24, address space overlapping occurs.

BGP cannot process overlapping VPN address spaces. For example, if both VPN 1 and VPN 2 use the subnet 10.110.10.0/24 and each advertise a route destined for the subnet, BGP selects only one of them. This results in the loss of the other route.

Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) can solve this problem by advertising VPN-IPv4 addresses (also called VPNv4 addresses).

Figure 2 VPN-IPv4 address structure

As shown in Figure 2, a VPN-IPv4 address consists of 12 bytes. The first eight bytes represent the RD, followed by a four-byte IPv4 prefix. The RD and the IPv4 prefix form a unique VPN-IPv4 prefix.

An RD can be in one of the following formats:

·     When the Type field is 0, the Administrator subfield occupies two bytes, the Assigned number subfield occupies four bytes, and the RD format is 16-bit AS number:32-bit user-defined number. For example, 100:1.

·     When the Type field is 1, the Administrator subfield occupies four bytes, the Assigned number subfield occupies two bytes, and the RD format is 32-bit IPv4 address:16-bit user-defined number. For example, 172.1.1.1:1.

·     When the Type field is 2, the Administrator subfield occupies four bytes, the Assigned number subfield occupies two bytes, and the RD format is 32-bit AS number:16-bit user-defined number, where the minimum value of the AS number is 65536. For example, 65536:1.

To guarantee global uniqueness for a VPN-IPv4 address, do not set the Administrator subfield to any private AS number or private IP address.

Route target attribute

MPLS L3VPN uses route target (also called VPN target) community attributes to control the advertisement of VPN routing information. A VPN instance on a PE supports the following types of route target attributes:

·     Export target attribute—A PE sets the export target attribute for VPN-IPv4 routes learned from directly connected sites before advertising them to other PEs.

·     Import target attribute—A PE checks the export target attribute of VPN-IPv4 routes received from other PEs. If the export target attribute matches the import target attribute of a VPN instance, the PE adds the routes to the routing table of the VPN instance.

Route target attributes define which sites can receive VPN-IPv4 routes, and from which sites a PE can receive routes.

Like RDs, route target attributes can be one of the following formats:

·     16-bit AS number:32-bit user-defined number. For example, 100:1.

·     32-bit IPv4 address:16-bit user-defined number. For example, 172.1.1.1:1.

·     32-bit AS number:16-bit user-defined number, where the minimum value of the AS number is 65536. For example, 65536:1.

MP-BGP

MP-BGP supports multiple address families, including VPN-IPv4 address family.

In MPLS L3VPN, MP-BGP advertises VPN-IPv4 routes for VPN sites between PEs.

MPLS L3VPN route advertisement

In a basic MPLS L3VPN, CEs and PEs are responsible for advertising VPN routing information. P routers maintain only the routes within the backbone. A PE maintains only routing information for directly connected VPNs, rather than for all VPNs.

VPN routing information is advertised through the path local CE—ingress PE—egress PE—remote CE.

Route advertisement from the local CE to the ingress PE

The CE advertises standard IPv4 routing information to the ingress PE over a static route, RIP route, OSPF route, IS-IS route, EBGP route, or IBGP route.

Route advertisement from the ingress PE to the egress PE

The ingress PE performs the following operations:

1.     Adds RDs and route target attributes to these standard IPv4 routes to create VPN-IPv4 routes.

2.     Saves the VPN-IPv4 routes to the routing table of the VPN instance created for the CE.

3.     Advertises the VPN-IPv4 routes to the egress PE through MP-BGP.

Route advertisement from the egress PE to the remote CE

After receiving the VPN-IPv4 routes, the egress PE performs the following operations:

1.     Compares the routes' export target attributes with the local import target attributes.

2.     Adds the routes to the routing table of the VPN instance if the export and local import target attributes match each other.

3.     Restores the VPN-IPv4 routes to the original IPv4 routes.

4.     Advertises those routes to the connected CE over a static route, RIP route, OSPF route, IS-IS route, EBGP route, or IBGP route.

MPLS L3VPN packet forwarding

In a basic MPLS L3VPN (within a single AS), a PE adds the following information into VPN packets:

·     Outer tag—Identifies the public tunnel from the local PE to the remote PE. The public tunnel can be an LSP or an MPLS TE tunnel. Based on the outer tag, a VPN packet can be forwarded along the public tunnel to the remote PE. The outer tag is an MPLS label.

·     Inner label—Identifies the remote VPN site. The remote PE uses the inner label to forward packets to the target VPN site. MP-BGP advertises inner labels for VPN-IPv4 routes among PEs.

Figure 3 VPN packet forwarding

As shown in Figure 3, a VPN packet is forwarded from Site 1 to Site 2 by using the following process:

1.     Site 1 sends an IP packet with the destination address 1.1.1.2. CE 1 transmits the packet to PE 1.

2.     PE 1 performs the following operations:

a.     Finds the matching VPN route based on the inbound interface and destination address of the packet.

b.     Labels the packet with both the inner label and the outer tag.

c.     Forwards the packet to the public tunnel.

3.     P devices forward the packet to PE 2 by the outer tag. The label is removed from the packet at the penultimate hop.

4.     PE 2 performs the following operations:

a.     Uses the inner label to find the matching VPN instance to which the destination address of the packet belongs.

b.     Looks up the routing table of the VPN instance for the output interface.

c.     Removes the inner label and forwards the packet out of the interface to CE 2.

5.     CE 2 transmits the packet to the destination through IP forwarding.

When two sites of a VPN are connected to the same PE, the PE directly forwards packets between the two sites through the VPN routing table without adding any tag or label.

MPLS L3VPN networking schemes

In MPLS L3VPNs, route target attributes are used to control the advertisement and reception of VPN routes between sites. They work independently and can be configured with multiple values to support flexible VPN access control and implement multiple types of VPN networking schemes.

Basic VPN networking scheme

In the simplest case, all users in a VPN form a closed user group. They can forward traffic to each other but cannot communicate with any user outside the VPN.

For the basic VPN networking scheme, you must assign a route target to each VPN for identifying the export target attribute and import target attribute of the VPN. Moreover, this route target cannot be used by any other VPNs.

Figure 4 Network diagram for basic VPN networking scheme

As shown in Figure 4, the route target for VPN 1 is 100:1, while that for VPN 2 is 200:1. The two VPN 1 sites can communicate with each other, and the two VPN 2 sites can communicate with each other. However, the VPN 1 sites cannot communicate with the VPN 2 sites.

Hub and spoke networking scheme

The hub and spoke networking scheme is suitable for a VPN where all users must communicate with each other through an access control device.

In a hub and spoke network as shown in Figure 5, configure route targets as follows:

·     On spoke PEs (PEs connected to spoke sites), set the export target to Spoke and the import target to Hub.

·     On the hub PE (PE connected to the hub site), use two interfaces that each belong to a different VPN instance to connect the hub CE. One VPN instance receives routes from spoke PEs and has the import target set to Spoke. The other VPN instance advertises routes to spoke PEs and has the export target set to Hub.

These route targets rules produce the following results:

·     The hub PE can receive all VPN-IPv4 routes from spoke PEs.

·     All spoke PEs can receive VPN-IPv4 routes advertised by the hub PE.

·     The hub PE advertises the routes learned from a spoke PE to the other spoke PEs so the spoke sites can communicate with each other through the hub site.

·     The import target attribute of a spoke PE is different from the export target attribute of any other spoke PE. Any two spoke PEs do not directly advertise VPN-IPv4 routes to each other. Therefore, they cannot directly access each other.

Figure 5 Network diagram for hub and spoke network

A route in Site 1 is advertised to Site 2 by using the following process:

1.     Spoke-CE 1 advertises a route in Site 1 to Spoke-PE 1.

2.     Spoke-PE 1 changes the route to a VPN-IPv4 route and advertises the VPN-IPv4 route to Hub-PE through MP-BGP.

3.     Hub-PE adds the VPN-IPv4 route into the routing table of VPN 1-in, changes it to the original IPv4 route, and advertises the IPv4 route to Hub-CE.

4.     Hub-CE advertises the IPv4 route back to Hub-PE.

5.     Hub-PE adds the IPv4 route to the routing table of VPN 1-out, changes it to a VPN-IPv4 route, and advertises the VPN-IPv4 route to Spoke-PE 2 through MP-BGP.

6.     Spoke-PE 2 changes the VPN-IPv4 route to the original IPv4 route, and advertises the IPv4 route to Site 2.

After spoke sites exchange routes through the hub site, they can communicate with each other through the hub site.

Extranet networking scheme

The extranet networking scheme allows specific resources in a VPN to be accessed by users not in the VPN.

In this networking scheme, if a VPN instance needs to access a shared site, the export target attribute and the import target attribute of the VPN instance must be contained in the import target attribute and the export target attribute of the VPN instance of the shared site, respectively.

Figure 6 Network diagram for extranet networking scheme

As shown in Figure 6, route targets configured on PEs produce the following results:

·     PE 3 can receive VPN-IPv4 routes from PE 1 and PE 2.

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

·     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 (routes learned from an IBGP neighbor are not advertised to any other IBGP neighbor). Therefore, Site 1 of VPN 1 and Site 2 of VPN 2 cannot communicate with each other.

Inter-AS VPN

In an inter-AS VPN networking scenario, multiple sites of a VPN are connected to multiple ISPs in different ASs, or to multiple ASs of an ISP.

Inter AS-VPN provides the following solutions:

·     VRF-to-VRF connections between ASBRs—This solution is also called inter-AS option A.

·     EBGP redistribution of labeled VPN-IPv4 routes between ASBRs—ASBRs advertise VPN-IPv4 routes to each other through MP-EBGP. This solution is also called inter-AS option B.

·     Multihop EBGP redistribution of labeled VPN-IPv4 routes between PE routers—PEs advertise VPN-IPv4 routes to each other through MP-EBGP. This solution is also called inter-AS option C.

Inter-AS option A

In this solution, PEs of two ASs are directly connected, and each PE is also the ASBR of its AS. Each PE treats the other as a CE and advertises unlabeled IPv4 unicast routes through EBGP. The PEs associate a VPN instance with a minimum of one interface.

Figure 7 Network diagram for inter-AS option A

As shown in Figure 7, in VPN 1, routes are advertised from CE 1 to CE 3 by using the following process:

1.     PE 1 advertises the VPN routes learned from CE 1 to ASBR 1 through MP-IBGP.

2.     ASBR 1 performs the following operations:

a.     Adds the routes to the routing table of the VPN instance whose import target attribute matches the export target attribute of the routes.

b.     Advertises the routes as IPv4 unicast routes to its CE (ASBR 2) through EBGP.

3.     ASBR 2 adds the IPv4 unicast routes to the routing table of the VPN instance that is bound to the receiving interface, and advertises the routes to PE 3 through MP-IBGP.

4.     PE 3 advertises the received routes to CE 3.

Packets forwarded within an AS are VPN packets that carry two labels. Packets forwarded between ASBRs are common IP packets.

Inter-AS option A is easy to carry out because no special configuration is required on the PEs acting as the ASBRs.

However, it has limited scalability because the PEs acting as the ASBRs must manage all the VPN routes and create VPN instances on a per-VPN basis. This leads to excessive VPN-IPv4 routes on the PEs. Associating a separate interface with each VPN also requires additional system resources.

Inter-AS option B

In this solution, two ASBRs use MP-EBGP to exchange VPN-IPv4 routes that they obtain from the PEs in their respective ASs.

Figure 8 Network diagram for inter-AS option B

As shown in Figure 8, in VPN 1, routes are advertised from CE 1 to CE 3 by using the following process:

1.     PE 1 advertises the VPN routes learned from CE 1 to ASBR 1 through MP-IBGP.

Assume that the inner label assigned by PE 1 for the routes is L1.

2.     ASBR 1 advertises the VPN-IPv4 routes to ASBR 2 through MP-EBGP.

Before advertising the routes, ASBR 1 modifies the next hop as its own address, assigns a new inner label (L2) to the routes, and associates L1 with L2.

3.     ASBR 2 advertises the VPN-IPv4 routes to PE 3 through MP-IBGP.

Before advertising the routes, ASBR 2 modifies the next hop as its own address, assigns a new inner label (L3) to the routes, and associates L2 with L3.

4.     PE 3 advertises the received routes to CE 3.

A packet is forwarded from CE 3 to CE 1 by using the following process:

5.     PE 3 encapsulates the received packet with two labels, and forwards the encapsulated packet to ASBR 2.

One of the labels is L3, and the other is the outer tag for the public tunnel from PE 3 to ASBR 2.

6.     ASBR 2 removes the outer tag, replaces L3 with L2, and forwards the packet to ASBR 1.

Packets between ASBR 1 and ASBR 2 carry only one inner label.

7.     ASBR 1 replaces L2 with L1, adds the outer tag of the public tunnel from ASBR 1 to PE 1, and forwards the packet to PE 1.

8.     PE 1 removes the inner label and outer tag and forwards the packet to CE 1.

In this solution, ASBRs must receive all inter-AS VPN routes. Therefore, ASBRs cannot filter incoming VPN-IPv4 routes by route targets.

Inter-AS option B has better scalability than option A. However, it requires that ASBRs maintain and advertise VPN routes.

Inter-AS option C

The Inter-AS option A and option B solutions require that the ASBRs maintain and advertise VPN-IPv4 routes. When every AS needs to exchange a great amount of VPN routes, the ASBRs might become bottlenecks, which hinders network extension. Inter-AS option C has better scalability because it makes PEs directly exchange VPN-IPv4 routes.

In this solution, PEs exchange VPN-IPv4 routes over a multihop MP-EBGP session. Each PE must have a route to the peer PE and a label for the route so that the inter-AS public tunnel between the PEs can be set up. Inter-AS option C sets up a public tunnel by using the following methods:

·     A label distribution protocol within the AS, for example, LDP.

·     Labeled IPv4 unicast route advertisement by ASBRs through BGP.

Labeled IPv4 unicast route advertisement refers to the process of assigning MPLS labels to IPv4 unicast routes and advertising IPv4 unicast routes and their labels.

Figure 9 Network diagram for inter-AS option C

As shown in Figure 9, in VPN 1, routes are advertised from CE 1 to CE 3 by using the following process:

1.     PE 1 advertises the VPN routes learned from CE 1 as VPN-IPv4 routes to PE 3 through multihop MP-EBGP.

Assume that the inner label assigned by PE 1 for the routes is Lx.

2.     PE 3 advertises the received routes to CE 3.

Setting up an inter-AS public tunnel is difficult in this solution. A public tunnel, for example, the one from PE 3 to PE 1, is set up by using the following process:

3.     Within AS 100, the public tunnel from ASBR 1 to PE 1 is set up by using a label distribution protocol, for example, LDP.

Assume that the outgoing label for the public tunnel on ASBR 1 is L1.

4.     ASBR 1 advertises labeled IPv4 unicast routes to ASBR 2 through EBGP.

The route destined for PE 1 and the label (L2) assigned by ASBR 1 for the route are advertised from ASBR 1 to ASBR 2. The next hop of the route is ASBR 1. The public tunnel from ASBR 2 to ASBR 1 is set up. The incoming label for the public tunnel on ASBR 1 is L2.

5.     ASBR 2 advertises labeled IPv4 unicast routes to PE 3 through IBGP.

The route destined for PE 1 and the label (L3) assigned by ASBR 2 for the route are advertised from ASBR 2 to PE 3. The next hop for the route is ASBR 2. The public tunnel from PE 3 to ASBR 2 is set up. The incoming label for the public tunnel on ASBR 2 is L3, and the outgoing label is L2.

6.     MPLS packets cannot be forwarded directly from PE 3 to ASBR 2. Within AS 200, the public tunnel from PE 3 to ASBR 2 is required to be set up hop by hop through a label distribution protocol, for example, LDP.

Assume that the outgoing label for the public tunnel on PE 3 is Lv.

After route advertisement and public tunnel setup, a packet is forwarded from CE 3 to CE 1 by using the following process:

7.     PE 3 performs the following routing table lookups for the packet:

a.     Finds a matching route with next hop PE 1 and inner label Lx, and encapsulates the packet with label Lx.

b.     Finds the route to PE 1 with next hop ASBR 2 and label L3, and encapsulates the packet with label L3 as the outer label.

c.     Finds the route to ASBR 2 with outgoing label Lv, and encapsulates the packet with label Lv as the outmost label.

8.     AS 200 transmits the packet to ASBR 2 by the outmost label.

9.     ASBR 2 removes the outmost label, replaces L3 with L2, and forwards the packet to ASBR 1.

10.     ASBR 1 replaces L2 with L1, and forwards the packet.

11.     AS 100 transmits the packet to PE 1 by the outer label.

12.     PE 1 removes the outer label, and forwards the packet to CE 1 according to the inner label Lx.

As shown in Figure 10, to improve scalability, you can specify a route reflector (RR) in each AS to exchange VPN-IPv4 routes with PEs in the same AS. The RR in each AS maintains all VPN-IPv4 routes. The RRs in two ASs establish a multihop MP-EBGP session to advertise VPN-IPv4 routes.

Figure 10 Network diagram for inter-AS option C using RRs

Carrier's carrier

If a customer of an MPLS L3VPN service provider is also a service provider:

·     The MPLS L3VPN service provider is called the provider carrier or the Level 1 carrier.

·     The customer is called the customer carrier or the Level 2 carrier.

This networking model is referred to as carrier's carrier.

The PEs of the Level 2 carrier directly exchange customer networks over a BGP session. The Level 1 carrier only learns the backbone networks of the Level 2 carrier, without learning customer networks.

For packets between customer networks to travel through the Level 1 carrier, the PE of the Level 1 carrier and the CE of the Level 2 carrier must assign labels to the backbone networks of the Level 2 carrier. The CE of the Level 2 carrier is a PE within the Level 2 carrier network.

Follow these guidelines to assign labels:

·     If the PE and the CE are in the same AS, you must configure IGP and LDP between them. If they are in different ASs, you must configure MP-EBGP to assign labels to IPv4 unicast routes exchanged between them.

·     You must enable MPLS on the CE of the Level 2 carrier regardless of whether the PE and CE are in the same AS.

A Level 2 carrier can be an ordinary ISP or an MPLS L3VPN service provider.

As shown in Figure 11, when the customer carrier is an ordinary ISP, its PEs and CEs run IGP to communicate with each other. The PEs do not need to run MPLS. PE 3 and PE 4 exchange customer network routes (IPv4 unicast routes) through an IBGP session.

Figure 11 Scenario where the Level 2 carrier is an ISP

As shown in Figure 12, when the customer carrier is an MPLS L3VPN service provider, its PEs and CEs must run IGP and LDP to communicate with each other. PE 3 and PE 4 exchange customer network routes (VPN-IPv4 routes) through an MP-IBGP session.

Figure 12 Scenario where the Level 2 carrier is an MPLS L3VPN service provider

 

NOTE:

As a best practice, establish equal cost LSPs between the Level 1 carrier and the Level 2 carrier if equal cost routes exist between them.

Nested VPN

The nested VPN technology exchanges VPNv4 routes between PEs and CEs of the ISP MPLS L3VPN and allows a customer to manage its own internal VPNs. Figure 13 shows a nested VPN network. On the service provider's MPLS VPN network, there is a customer VPN named VPN A. The customer VPN contains two sub-VPNs, VPN A-1 and VPN A-2.

The service provider PEs consider the customer's network as a common VPN user and do not join any sub-VPNs. The service provider CE devices (CE 1 and CE 2) exchange VPNv4 routes including sub-VPN routing information with the service provider PEs, which implements the propagation of the sub-VPN routing information throughout the customer network.

The nested VPN technology supports both symmetric networking and asymmetric networking. Sites of the same VPN can have the same number or different numbers of internal VPNs. Nested VPN also supports multiple-level nesting of internal VPNs.

Figure 13 Network diagram for nested VPN

In a nested VPN network, routing information is propagated by using the following process:

1.     After receiving VPN routes from customer CEs, a customer PE advertises VPN-IPv4 routes to the provider CEs through MP-BGP.

2.     The provider CEs advertise the VPN-IPv4 routes to a provider PE through MP-BGP.

3.     After receiving a VPN-IPv4 route, the provider PE keeps the customer's internal VPN information, and appends the customer's MPLS VPN attributes on the service provider network. It replaces the RD of the VPN-IPv4 route with the RD of the customer's MPLS VPN on the service provider network. It also adds the export route-target (ERT) attribute of the customer's MPLS VPN on the service provider network to the extended community attribute list of the route. The internal VPN information for the customer is maintained on the provider PE.

4.     The provider PE advertises VPN-IPv4 routes carrying the comprehensive VPN information to the other PEs of the service provider.

5.     After another provider PE receives the VPN-IPv4 routes, it matches the VPN-IPv4 routes to the import targets of its local VPNs. Each local VPN accepts routes of its own and advertises them to provider CEs. If a provider CE (such as CE 7 and CE 8 in Figure 13) is connected to a provider PE through an IPv4 connection, the PE advertises IPv4 routes to the CE. If it is a VPN-IPv4 connection (a customer MPLS VPN network), the PE advertises VPN-IPv4 routes to the CE.

6.     After receiving VPN-IPv4 routes from the provider CE, a customer PE matches those routes to local import targets. Each customer VPN accepts only its own routes and advertises them to connected customer CEs (such as CE 3, CE 4, CE 5, and CE 6 in Figure 13).

HoVPN

Hierarchy of VPN (HoVPN), also called Hierarchy of PE (HoPE), prevents PEs from being bottlenecks and is applicable to large-scale VPN deployment.

HoVPN divides PEs into underlayer PEs (UPEs) or user-end PEs, and superstratum PEs (SPEs) or service provider-end PEs. UPEs and SPEs have different functions and comprise a hierarchical PE. The HoPE and common PEs can coexist in an MPLS network.

Figure 14 Basic architecture of HoVPN

As shown in Figure 14, UPEs and SPEs play the following different roles:

·     A UPE is directly connected to CEs. It provides user access. It maintains the routes of directly connected VPN sites. It does not maintain the routes of the remote sites in the VPN, or it only maintains their summary routes. A UPE assigns inner labels to the routes of its directly connected sites, and advertises the labels along with VPN routes to the SPE through MP-BGP. A UPE features high access capability, small routing table capacity, and low forwarding performance.

·     An SPE is connected to UPEs and resides inside the service provider network. It manages and advertises VPN routes. It maintains all the routes of the VPNs connected through UPEs, including the routes of both the local and remote sites. An SPE advertises routes along with labels to UPEs, including the default routes of VPN instances or summary routes and the routes permitted by the routing policy. By using routing policies, you can control which sites in a VPN can communicate with each other. An SPE features large routing table capacity, high forwarding performance, and fewer interface resources.

Either MP-IBGP or MP-EBGP can run between SPE and UPE. When MP-IBGP runs between SPE and UPEs, the SPE acts as the RR of multiple UPEs and reflects routes between UPEs.

HoVPN supports HoPE recursion:

·     An HoPE can act as a UPE to form a new HoPE with an SPE.

·     An HoPE can act as an SPE to form a new HoPE with multiple UPEs.

HoVPN supports multilevel recursion. In HoPE recursion, the concepts of SPE and UPE are relative. A PE might be the SPE of its underlayer PEs and a UPE of its SPE at the same time.

Figure 15 Recursion of HoPEs

Figure 15 shows a three-level HoPE. The PE in the middle is called the middle-level PE (MPE). MP-BGP runs between SPE and MPE, and between MPE and UPE.

MP-BGP advertises the following routes:

·     All the VPN routes of UPEs to the SPEs.

·     The default routes of the VPN instance of the SPEs or the VPN routes permitted by the routing policies to the UPEs.

The SPE maintains the VPN routes of all sites in the HoVPN. Each UPE maintains only VPN routes of its directly connected sites. An MPE has fewer routes than the SPE but has more routes than a UPE.

OSPF VPN extension

This section describes the OSPF VPN extension. For more information about OSPF, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

OSPF for VPNs on a PE

If OSPF runs between a CE and a PE to exchange VPN routes, the PE must support multiple OSPF instances to create independent routing tables for VPN instances. Each OSPF process is bound to a VPN instance. Routes learned by an OSPF process are added into the routing table of the bound VPN instance.

OSPF area configuration between a PE and a CE

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

In the OSPF VPN extension application, the MPLS VPN backbone is considered the backbone area (area 0). The area 0 of each site must be connected to the MPLS VPN backbone (physically connected or logically connected through a virtual link) because OSPF requires that the backbone area be contiguous.

BGP/OSPF interaction

If OSPF runs between PEs and CEs, each PE redistributes BGP routes to OSPF and advertises the routes to CEs through OSPF. OSPF considers the routes redistributed from BGP as external routes but the OSPF routes actually belong to  the same OSPF domain. This problem can be resolved by configuring the same domain ID for sites in an OSPF domain.

Figure 16 Network diagram for BGP/OSPF interaction

As shown in Figure 16, CE 11, CE 21, and CE 22 belong to the same VPN and the same OSPF domain.

Before domain ID configuration, VPN 1 routes are advertised from CE 11 to CE 21 and CE 22 by using the following process:

1.     PE 1 redistributes OSPF routes from CE 11 into BGP, and advertises the VPN routes to PE 2 through BGP.

2.     PE 2 redistributes the BGP routes to OSPF, and advertises them to CE 21 and CE 22 in AS External LSAs (Type 5) or NSSA External LSAs (Type 7).

After domain ID configuration, VPN 1 routes are advertised from CE 11 to CE 21 and CE 22 by using the following process:

3.     PE 1 redistributes OSPF routes into BGP, adds the domain ID to the redistributed BGP VPNv4 routes as a BGP extended community attribute, and advertises the routes to PE 2.

4.     PE 2 compares the domain ID in the received routes with the locally configured domain ID. If they are the same and the received routes are intra-area or inter-area routes, OSPF advertises these routes in Network Summary LSAs (Type 3). Otherwise, OSPF advertises these routes in AS External LSAs (Type 5) or NSSA External LSAs (Type 7).

Routing loop avoidance

Figure 17 Network diagram for routing loop avoidance

As shown in Figure 17, Site 1 is connected to two PEs. When a PE advertises VPN routes learned from MP-BGP to Site 1 through OSPF, the routes might be received by the other PE. This results in a routing loop.

OSPF VPN extension uses the following tags to avoid routing loops:

·     DN bit (for Type 3 LSAs)—When a PE redistributes BGP routes into OSPF and creates Type 3 LSAs, it sets the DN bit for the LSAs. When receiving the Type 3 LSAs advertised by CE 11, the other PE ignores the LSAs whose DN bit is set to avoid routing loops.

·     Route tag (for Type 5 or 7 LSAs)—The two PEs use the same route tag. When a PE redistributes BGP routes into OSPF and creates Type 5 or 7 LSAs, it adds the route tag to the LSAs. When receiving the Type 5 or 7 LSAs advertised by CE 11, the other PE compares the route tag in the LSAs against the local route tag. If they are the same, the PE ignores the LSAs to avoid routing loops.

OSPF sham link

As shown in Figure 18, two routes exist between Site 1 and Site 2 of VPN 1:

·     A route over MPLS backbone—It is an inter-area route if PE 1 and PE 2 have the same domain ID, or is an external route if PE 1 and PE 2 are configured with no domain ID or with different domain IDs.

·     A direct route between CEs—It is an intra-area route that is called a backdoor link.

VPN traffic is always forwarded through the backdoor link because it has a higher priority than the inter-area route. To forward VPN traffic over the inter-area route, you can establish a sham link between the two PEs to change the inter-area route to an intra-area route.

Figure 18 Network diagram for sham link

A sham link is considered a virtual point-to-point link within a VPN and is advertised in a Type 1 LSA. It is identified by the source IP address and destination IP address that are the local PE address and the remote PE address in the VPN address space. Typically, the source and destination addresses are loopback interface addresses with a 32-bit mask.

To add a route to the destination IP address of a sham link to a VPN instance, the remote PE must advertise the source IP address of the sham link as a VPN-IPv4 address through MP-BGP. To avoid routing loops, a PE does not advertise the sham link's destination address.

BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute

BGP detects routing loops by examining AS numbers. If EBGP runs between PE and CE, you must assign different AS numbers to geographically different sites or configure the BGP AS number substitution feature to ensure correct transmission of routing information.

The BGP AS number substitution feature allows geographically different CEs to use the same AS number. If the AS_PATH of a route contains the AS number of a CE, the PE replaces the AS number with its own AS number before advertising the route to that CE.

After you enable the BGP AS number substitution feature, the PE performs BGP AS number substitution for all routes and re-advertises them to connected CEs in the peer group.

Figure 19 Application of BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute

As shown in Figure 19, both Site 1 and Site 2 use the AS number 800. AS number substitution is enabled on PE 2 for CE 2. Before advertising updates received from CE 1 to CE 2, PE 2 substitutes its own AS number 100 for the AS number 800. In this way, CE 2 can correctly receive the routing information from CE 1.

However, the AS number substitution feature also introduces a routing loop in Site 2 because route updates originated from CE 3 can be advertised back to Site 2 through PE 2 and CE 2. To remove the routing loop, you can configure the same SoO attribute on PE 2 for CE 2 and CE 3. PE 2 adds the SoO attribute to route updates received from CE 2 or CE 3, and checks the SoO attribute of route updates to be advertised to CE 2 or CE 3. The SoO attribute of the route updates from CE 3 is the same as the SoO attribute for CE 2, and PE 2 does not advertise route updates to CE 2.

For more information about the SoO attribute, see basic BGP configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

MPLS L3VPN FRR

MPLS L3VPN Fast Reroute (FRR) is applicable to a dual-homed scenario, as shown in Figure 20. By using BFD to detect the primary link, FRR enables a PE to use the backup link when the primary link fails. The PE then selects a new optimal route, and uses the new optimal route to forward traffic.

MPLS L3VPN FRR supports the following types of backup:

·     VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route.

·     VPNv4 route backup for an IPv4 route.

·     IPv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route.

VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route

Figure 20 Network diagram

 

As shown in Figure 20, configure FRR on the ingress node PE 1, and specify the backup next hop for VPN 1 as PE 3. When PE 1 receives a VPNv4 route to CE 2 from both PE 2 and PE 3, it uses the route from PE 2 as the primary link, and the route from PE 3 as the backup link.

Configure BFD for LSPs or MPLS TE tunnels on PE 1 to detect the connectivity of the public tunnel from PE 1 to PE 2. When the tunnel PE 1PE 2 operates correctly, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—CE 2. When the tunnel fails, the traffic goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 3—CE 2.

In this scenario, PE 1 is responsible for primary link detection and traffic switchover.

For more information about BFD for LSPs or MPLS TE tunnels, see "Configuring MPLS OAM."

VPNv4 route backup for an IPv4 route

Figure 21 Network diagram

 

As shown in Figure 21, configure FRR on the egress node PE 2, and specify the backup next hop for VPN 1 as PE 3. When PE 2 receives an IPv4 route from CE 2 and a VPNv4 route from PE 3 (both routes are destined for VPN 1 connected to CE 2), PE 2 uses the IPv4 route as the primary link, and the VPNv4 route as the backup link.

PE 2 uses ARP or echo-mode BFD to detect the connectivity of the link from PE 2 to CE 2. When the link operates correctly, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—CE 2. When the link fails, PE 2 switches traffic to the link PE 2—PE 3—CE 2, and traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—PE 3—CE 2. This avoids traffic interruption before route convergence completes (switching to the link CE 1—PE 1—PE 3—CE 2).

In this scenario, PE 2 is responsible for primary link detection and traffic switchover.

IPv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route

Figure 22 Network diagram

As shown in Figure 22, configure FRR on PE 1, and specify the backup next hop for VPN 1 as CE 2. When PE 1 receives an IPv4 route from CE 2 and a VPNv4 route from PE 2 (both routes are destined for VPN 1 connected to CE 2), PE 1 uses the VPNv4 route as the primary link, and the IPv4 route as the backup link.

Configure BFD for LSPs or MPLS TE tunnels on PE 1 to detect the connectivity of the public tunnel from PE 1 to PE 2. When the tunnel operates correctly, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—CE 2. When the tunnel fails, the traffic goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—CE 2.

In this scenario, PE 1 is responsible for primary link detection and traffic switchover.

ECMP VPN route redistribution

This feature enables a VPN instance to redistribute all routes that have the same prefix and RD into its routing table. Based on the ECMP routes, the device can perform load sharing (as configured by the balance command) or MPLS L3VPN FRR. For more information about the balance command, see basic BGP configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Figure 23 Network diagram

As shown in Figure 23, CE 1 accesses the backbone network through VPN instance VPN1 created on PE 1. The RD of VPN instance VPN1 is 1:1. CE 2 accesses the backbone network through VPN instances created on PE 2 and PE 3. The VPN instances created on PE 2 and PE 3 have the same name VPN2 and the same RD 1:2. VPN instances VPN1 and VPN2 can communicate with each other.

Both PE 2 and PE 3 can advertise routes from CE 2 to PE 1, and the advertised routes have the same RD 1:2. By default, BGP redistributes only the optimal route into the routing table of VPN instance VPN1. After you enable this feature on VPN instance VPN1, BGP redistributes routes from both PE 2 and PE 3 to the routing table of VPN instance VPN1.

CAUTION

CAUTION:

Associating a VPN instance with an interface or disassociating a VPN instance from an interface will clear the IP address and routing protocol settings of the interface.

 

The ip binding vpn-instance command deletes the IP address of the current interface. You must reconfigure an IP address for the interface after executing the command.

Configuring route related attributes for a VPN instance

Restrictions and guidelines

Configurations made in VPN instance view apply to both IPv4 VPN and IPv6 VPN.

IPv4 VPN prefers the configurations in VPN instance IPv4 address family view over the configurations in VPN instance view.

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Create an OSPF process for a VPN instance and enter the OSPF view.

ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id ] * vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

 

Parameter

Usage guidelines

router-id router-id

An OSPF process bound to a VPN instance does not use the public network router ID configured in system view. Therefore, you must specify a router ID when creating a process or configure an IP address for a minimum of one interface in the bound VPN instance.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

An OSPF process can belong to only one VPN instance.

If you delete a VPN instance, all OSPF processes of the VPN instance are also deleted.

3.     Redistribute BGP routes.

import-route bgp [ as-number ] [ allow-ibgp ] [ cost cost-value | nssa-only | route-policy route-policy-name | tag tag | type type ] *

By default, OSPF does not redistribute routes from other routing protocols.

If the vpn-instance-capability simple command is not configured for the OSPF process, the allow-ibgp keyword is optional to redistribute VPNv4 routes learned from MP-IBGP peers. In any other cases, if you do not specify the allow-ibgp keyword, the OSPF process does not redistribute VPNv4 routes learned from MP-IBGP peers.

4.     (Optional.) Set an OSPF domain ID.

domain-id domain-id [ secondary ]

The default domain ID is 0.

 

Description

Restrictions and guidelines

The domain ID is carried in the routes of the OSPF process. When redistributing routes from the OSPF process, BGP adds the domain ID as an extended community attribute into BGP route.

An OSPF process can be configured with only one primary domain ID. Domain IDs of different OSPF processes can be the same.

All OSPF processes of a VPN must be configured with the same domain ID.

5.     (Optional.) Configure the type codes of OSPF extended community attributes.

ext-community-type { domain-id type-code1 | router-id type-code2 | route-type type-code3 }

Configuring BGP VPNv4 routes to use private network next hops

About this task

By default, the device does not change the next hop attribute of a received BGP VPNv4 route. The next hop address of a BGP VPNv4 route is a public address. This feature changes the next hop of a BGP VPNv4 route received from a peer or peer group to an IP address in the VPN instance. The outgoing label of the VPNv4 route is also changed to an invalid value. For example, the device received a VPNv4 route and its next hop address is 10.1.1.1, which is a public address by default. After this feature is configured, the next hop address changes to private address 10.1.1.1.

Restrictions and guidelines

After you configure this feature, the following applies:

·     The device re-establishes the BGP sessions to the specified peer or to all peers in the specified peer group.

·     The device receives a BGP VPNv4 route only when its RD is the same as a local RD.

·     When advertising a BGP VPNv4 route received from the specified peer or peer group, the device does not change the route target attribute of the route.

·     If you delete a VPN instance or its RD, BGP VPNv4 routes received from the specified peer or peer group and in the VPN instance will be deleted.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

By default, the device does not change the next hop attribute of a received BGP VPNv4 route, and the next hop belongs to the public network.

Configuring inter-AS VPN

Configuring inter-AS option A

Inter-AS option A applies to scenarios with a few VPNs.

To configure inter-AS option A, create VPN instances on PEs and ASBRs. The VPN instances on PEs are used to allow CEs to access the network. The VPN instances on ASBRs are used to access the peer ASBRs. An ASBR considers the peer ASBR as a CE.

The route targets configured on the PEs must match those configured on the ASBRs in the same AS to make sure VPN routes sent by the PEs (or ASBRs) can be received by the ASBRs (or PEs). Route targets configured on the PEs in different ASs do not have such requirements.

Configuring inter-AS option B

Restrictions and guidelines

An ASBR always sets itself as the next hop of VPNv4 routes advertised to an MP-IBGP peer regardless of the peer next-hop-local command.

Configuring a PE

Configuring nested VPN

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure nested VPN, follow these guidelines:

·     The address spaces of sub-VPNs of a VPN cannot overlap.

·     Do not assign nested VPN peers addresses that public network peers use.

·     Nested VPN does not support multihop EBGP. A provider PE and a provider CE must use the addresses of the directly connected interfaces to establish a neighbor relationship.

Procedure

1.     Connect the customer CE to the customer PE:

a.     Configure VPN instances on the customer PE.

See "Configuring VPN instances."

b.     Configure route exchange between customer PE and customer CE.

See "Configuring routing between a PE and a CE."

Configuring MPLS L3VPN FRR

About MPLS L3VPN FRR

You can use the following methods to configure MPLS L3VPN FRR:

·     Method 1—Execute the pic command in BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view. The device calculates a backup next hop for each BGP route in the VPN instance if there are two or more unequal-cost routes to reach the destination.

·     Method 2—Execute the fast-reroute route-policy command in BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view to use a routing policy. In the routing policy, specify a backup next hop by using the apply fast-reroute backup-nexthop command. The backup next hop calculated by the device must be the same as the specified backup next hop. Otherwise, the device does not generate a backup next hop for the primary route. You can also configure if-match clauses in the routing policy to identify the routes protected by FRR.

If both methods are configured, Method 2 takes precedence over Method 1.

Restrictions and guidelines

Executing the pic command in BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view might cause routing loops. Use it with caution.

Configuring FRR by using a routing policy

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure BFD.

Configuring an OSPF sham link

About OSPF sham links

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.

Prerequisites

Before you configure an OSPF sham link, perform the following tasks:

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

·     Configure OSPF in the LAN where customer CEs reside.

Redistributing the loopback interface address

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Create a loopback interface and enter loopback interface view.

interface loopback interface-number

3.     Associate the loopback interface with a VPN instance.

ip binding vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

By default, the interface is not associated with any VPN instances and belongs to the public network.

4.     Configure an IP address for the loopback interface.

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

By default, no IP address is configured for the loopback interface.

5.     Return to system view.

quit

6.     Enter BGP instance view.

bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ]

7.     Enter BGP-VPN instance view.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

8.     Enter BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view.

address-family ipv4 [ unicast ]

9.     Redistribute direct routes into BGP (including the loopback interface route).

import-route direct

By default, no direct routes are redistributed into BGP.

Creating a sham link

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter OSPF view.

ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] *

As a best practice, specify a router ID.

3.     Set the external route tag for imported VPN routes.

route-tag tag-value

By default, if BGP runs within an MPLS backbone, and the BGP AS number is not greater than 65535, the first two octets of the external route tag are 0xD000 and the last two octets are the local BGP AS number. If the AS number is greater than 65535, the external route tag is 0.

4.     Enter OSPF area view.

area area-id

5.     Configure a sham link.

sham-link source-ip-address destination-ip-address [ cost cost-value | dead dead-interval | hello hello-interval | { { hmac-md5 | hmac-sha-256 | md5 } key-id { cipher | plain } string | keychain keychain-name | simple { cipher | plain } string } | retransmit retrans-interval | trans-delay delay | ttl-security hops hop-count ] *

Configuring BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute

About this task

When CEs at different sites have the same AS number, configure the BGP AS number substitution feature to avoid route loss.

When a PE uses different interfaces to connect different CEs in a site, the BGP AS number substitution feature introduces a routing loop. To remove the routing loop, configure the SoO attribute on the PE.

For more information about the BGP AS number substitution feature and the SoO attribute, see "BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute." For more information about the commands in this feature, see advanced BGP commands in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Procedure

5.     Enter BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view.

address-family ipv4 [ unicast ]

6.     (Optional.) Configure the SoO attribute for a BGP peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } soo site-of-origin

By default, the SoO attribute is not configured.

Configuring BGP RT filtering

About this task

The BGP RT filtering feature reduces the number of routes advertised in an MPLS L3VPN.

After RT filtering is configured, a PE advertises its import target attribute to the peer PEs in the RT filter address family. The peer PEs use the received import target attribute to filter routes and advertise only the routes that match the attribute to the PE.

When a large number of IBGP peers exist, the BGP RT filtering and the route reflection features are used together as a best practice. Route reflection reduces the number of IBGP connections. BGP RT filtering reduces the number of routes advertised in the network.

For more information about the BGP RT filtering commands, see basic BGP commands in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

reflect between-clients

By default, route reflection between clients is enabled.

9.     (Optional.) Configure the cluster ID of the route reflector.

reflector cluster-id { cluster-id | ipv4-address }

By default, a route reflector uses its own router ID as the cluster ID.

Configuring the BGP additional path feature

About this task

By default, BGP advertises only one optimal route. When the optimal route fails, traffic forwarding will be interrupted until route convergence completes.

The BGP additional path (Add-Path) feature enables BGP to advertise multiple routes with the same prefix and different next hops to a peer or peer group. When the optimal route fails, the suboptimal route becomes the optimal route, which shortens the traffic interruption time.

You can enable the BGP additional path sending, receiving, or both sending and receiving capabilities on a BGP peer. For two BGP peers to successfully negotiate the additional path capabilities, make sure one end has the sending capability and the other end has the receiving capability.

For more information about the BGP additional path configuration commands, see advanced BGP commands in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter BGP VPNv4 address family view or BGP-VPN VPNv4 address family view.

3.     Configure the BGP additional path capabilities.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } additional-paths { receive | send } *

By default, no BGP additional path capabilities are configured.

4.     Set the maximum number of Add-Path optimal routes that can be advertised to a peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } advertise additional-paths best number

By default, a maximum of one Add-Path optimal route can be advertised to a peer or peer group.

5.     Set the maximum total number of Add-Path optimal routes that can be advertised to all peers.

additional-paths select-best best-number

By default, a maximum total number of one Add-Path optimal route can be advertised to all peers.

This command is not supported in BGP-VPN VPNv4 address family view.

Configuring BGP route replication between different VPN instances

About this task

In a BGP/MPLS L3VPN network, only VPN instances that have matching route targets can communicate with each other.

The route replication feature provides the following functions:

·     Enables a VPN instance to communicate with the public network or other VPN instances by replicating routes from the public network or other VPN instances.

·     Enables the public network to communicate with a VPN instance by replicating routes from the VPN instance.

In an intelligent traffic control network, traffic of different tenants is assigned to different VPNs. To enable the tenants to communicate with the public network, configure this feature to replicate routes from the public network to the VPN instances.

Configuring BGP route replication between public and VPN instances

About this task

In traffic cleaning scenarios, traffic between the public and private networks are filtered by firewalls and traffic of different tenants is assigned to different VPNs. To enable the tenants to communicate with the public network under the protection of firewalls, you can configure BGP route replication between public and VPN instances.

After you configure this feature, the public and VPN instances replicate all BGP routes including route attributes from each other.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported in Release 5111 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature also enables BGP route replication between VPN instances, so VPNs cannot be isolated. Configure this feature only in specific scenarios, for example, the traffic cleaning scenario.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter BGP instance view.

bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ]

3.     Enable BGP route replication between public and VPN instances.

Configuring route re-origination

About this task

By default, BGP routes in different VPN instances are isolated. In some networks, a device might need to advertise routes across VPN instances or advertise the routes in a VPN instance through other VPN instances to hide the routing information of the VPN instance.

Figure 24 Route re-origination

 

As shown in Figure 24, PE 1 and PE 2 set up public IBGP sessions with PE 3, and the public instance and VPN instances exchange routes to enable communication between the public network and the VPN sites. PE 1 and PE 2 set up VPNv4 IBGP peer relationships with each other to exchange VPN instance routes. When all links operate correctly, PE 2 receives the public routes advertised by PE 3 and redistributes the routes to the local VPN site. When the link between PE 2 and PE 3 fails, perform the following tasks for PE 1 to reoriginate the public routes in a specified VPN instance and advertise them to PE 2:

1.     Configure route targets for the public instance on PE 1. Make sure the route targets match those of the VPN instance to redistribute public routes.

2.     Execute the route-replicate enable command on PE 1 to redistribute the BGP routes of the public instance to the target VPN instance.

3.     Execute the advertise route-reoriginate command on PE 1 to enable reoriginating the BGP routes of other VPN instances in the target VPN instance. This command enables reoriginating BGP routes based on only the BGP routes that match the route targets of the target VPN instance. The VPN instance does not reoriginate BGP routes based on the redistributed local routes, such as the IGP routes redistributed by using the import-route command.

4.     Execute the peer advertise vpn-reoriginate ibgp command on PE 1 to advertise reoriginated routes to IBGP peer PE 2.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported in Release 5111 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

You must use the peer advertise vpn-reoriginate ibgp command in combination with the advertise route-reoriginate command. If you execute only the peer advertise vpn-reoriginate ibgp command, it does not take effect.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

Resetting BGP sessions

About this task

You can soft-reset or reset BGP sessions to apply new BGP configurations. A soft reset operation updates BGP routing information without tearing down BGP connections. A reset operation updates BGP routing information by tearing down, and then re-establishing BGP connections. Soft reset requires that BGP peers have route refresh capability.

Procedure

The following information only lists the commands for resetting BGP sessions. For more information about the commands, see basic BGP commands in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Perform refresh or reset tasks in user view:

·     Soft-reset BGP sessions for the BGP IPv4 RT filter address family.

refresh bgp [ instance instance-name ] { ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | all | external | group group-name | internal } { export | import } ipv4 rtfilter

·     Soft-reset BGP sessions for the BGP VPNv4 address family.

refresh bgp [ instance instance-name ] { ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | all | external | group group-name | internal } { export | import } vpnv4 [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

·     Reset BGP sessions for the BGP IPv4 RT filter address family.

reset bgp [ instance instance-name ] { as-number | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | all | external | internal | group group-name } ipv4 rtfilter

·     Reset BGP sessions for the BGP VPNv4 address family.

reset bgp [ instance instance-name ] { as-number | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | all | external | internal | group group-name } vpnv4 [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

MPLS L3VPN configuration examples

Example: Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN

Network configuration

CE 1 and CE 3 belong to VPN 1. CE 2 and CE 4 belong to VPN 2.

VPN 1 uses route target attribute 111:1. VPN 2 uses route target attribute 222:2. Users of different VPNs cannot access each other.

A PE and its connected CE use EBGP to exchange VPN routing information.

PEs use OSPF to communicate with each other and use MP-IBGP to exchange VPN routing information.

The output shows that PE 1 has a route to the remote CE. Output on PE 2 is similar.

# Verify that CEs of the same VPN can ping each other, whereas those of different VPNs cannot. For example, CE 1 can ping CE 3 (10.3.1.1), but it cannot ping CE 4 (10.4.1.1). (Details not shown.)

Example: Configuring a hub-spoke network

Network configuration

The Spoke-CEs cannot communicate directly. They can communicate only through Hub-CE.

Configure EBGP between the Spoke-CEs and Spoke-PEs and between Hub-CE and Hub-PE to exchange VPN routing information.

Configure OSPF between the Spoke-PEs and Hub-PE to implement communication between the PEs, and configure MP-IBGP between them to exchange VPN routing information.

Example: Configuring MPLS L3VPN inter-AS option A

Network configuration

CE 1 and CE 2 belong to the same VPN. CE 1 accesses the network through PE 1 in AS 100, and CE 2 accesses the network through PE 2 in AS 200.

Configure inter-AS option A MPLS L3VPN, and use the VRF-to-VRF method to manage VPN routes.

Run OSPF on the MPLS backbone of each AS.

Prerequisite

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Restrictions and guidelines

For the same VPN, the route targets for the VPN instance on the PE must match those for the VPN instance on the ASBR-PE in the same AS. This is not required for PEs in different ASs.

Procedure

1.     Configure IGP on the MPLS backbone.

This example uses OSPF. (Details not shown.)

# Execute the display ospf peer command to verify that each ASBR-PE has established an OSPF adjacency in Full state with the PE in the same AS, and that PEs and ASBR-PEs in the same AS have learned the routes to the loopback interfaces of each other. Verify that each ASBR-PE and the PE in the same AS can ping each other. (Details not shown.)

2.     Configure basic MPLS and MPLS LDP on the MPLS backbone to establish LDP LSPs:

# Configure basic MPLS on PE 1, and enable MPLS LDP on the interface connected to ASBR-PE 1.

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that the CEs can learn the interface routes from each other and ping each other. (Details not shown.)

Example: Configuring MPLS L3VPN inter-AS option B

Network configuration

Site 1 and Site 2 belong to the same VPN. CE 1 of Site 1 accesses the network through PE 1 in AS 100, and CE 2 of Site 2 accesses the network through PE 2 in AS 600.

PEs in the same AS run IS-IS.

PE 1 and ASBR-PE 1 exchange VPNv4 routes through MP-IBGP. PE 2 and ASBR-PE 2 exchange VPNv4 routes through MP-IBGP. ASBR-PE 1 and ASBR-PE 2 exchange VPNv4 routes through MP-EBGP.

ASBRs do not perform route target filtering of received VPN-IPv4 routes.

Example: Configuring MPLS L3VPN carrier's carrier in the same AS

Network configuration

Configure carrier's carrier for the scenario shown in Figure 30. In this scenario:

·     PE 1 and PE 2 are the provider carrier's PE routers. They provide VPN services for the customer carrier.

·     CE 1 and CE 2 are the customer carrier's routers. They are connected to the provider carrier's backbone as CE routers.

·     PE 3 and PE 4 are the customer carrier's PE routers. They provide MPLS L3VPN services for the end customers.

·     CE 3 and CE 4 are customers of the customer carrier.

·     The customer carrier and the provider carrier reside in the same AS.

The key to carrier's carrier deployment is to configure exchange of two kinds of routes:

·     Exchange of the customer carrier's internal routes on the provider carrier's backbone.

·     Exchange of the end customers' VPN routes between PE 3 and PE 4, the PEs of the customer carrier. In this process, an MP-IBGP peer relationship must be established between PE 3 and PE 4.

Example: Configuring MPLS L3VPN carrier's carrier in different ASs

Network configuration

Configure carrier's carrier for the scenario shown in Figure 31. In this scenario:

·     PE 1 and PE 2 are the provider carrier's PE routers. They provide VPN services for the customer carrier.

·     CE 1 and CE 2 are the customer carrier's routers. They are connected to the provider carrier's backbone as CE routers.

·     PE 3 and PE 4 are the customer carrier's PE routers. They provide MPLS L3VPN services for the end customers.

·     CE 3 and CE 4 are customers of the customer carrier.

·     The customer carrier and the provider carrier reside in different ASs.

The key to carrier's carrier deployment is to configure exchange of two kinds of routes:

·     Exchange of the customer carrier's internal routes on the provider carrier's backbone.

·     Exchange of the end customers' VPN routes between PE 3 and PE 4, the PEs of the customer carrier. In this process, an MP-EBGP peer relationship must be established between PE 3 and PE 4.

Example: Configuring nested VPN

Network configuration

The service provider provides nested VPN services for users, as shown in Figure 32.

·     PE 1 and PE 2 are PE devices on the service provider backbone. Both of them support the nested VPN feature.

·     CE 1 and CE 2 are provider CEs connected to the service provider backbone. Both of them support VPNv4 routes.

·     PE 3 and PE 4 are PE devices of the customer VPN. Both of them support MPLS L3VPN.

·     CE 3 through CE 6 are CE devices of sub-VPNs in the customer VPN.

The key of nested VPN configuration is to understand the processing of routes of sub-VPNs on the service provider PEs:

·     When receiving a VPNv4 route from a provider CE (CE 1 or CE 2, in this example), a provider PE performs the following operations:

a.     Replaces the RD of the VPNv4 route with the RD of the MPLS VPN on the service provider network.

b.     Adds the export target attribute of the MPLS VPN on the service provider network to the extended community attribute list.

c.     Forwards the VPNv4 route.

·     To implement exchange of sub-VPN routes between customer PEs and service provider PEs, MP-EBGP peers must be established between provider PEs and provider CEs.

Example: Configuring HoVPN

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 33, there are two levels of networks: the backbone and the MPLS VPN networks.

·     SPEs act as PEs to allow MPLS VPNs to access the backbone.

·     UPEs act as PEs of the MPLS VPNs to allow end users to access the VPNs.

·     Performance requirements for the UPEs are lower than those for the SPEs.

·     SPEs advertise routes permitted by routing policies to UPEs, permitting CE 1 and CE 3 in VPN 1 to communicate with each other and forbidding CE 2 and CE 4 in VPN 2 from communicating with each other.

Prerequisite

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Procedure

1.     Configure OSPF on the customer networks:

# Configure conventional OSPF on CE 1, Router A, and CE 2 to advertise addresses of the interfaces (see Table 10). (Details not shown.)

# Set the cost value to 2 for both the link between CE 1 and Router A, and the link between CE 2 and Router A. (Details not shown.)

# Execute the display ip routing-table command to verify that CE 1 and CE 2 have learned the route to each other. (Details not shown.)

2.     Configure MPLS L3VPN on the backbone:

# Configure basic MPLS and MPLS LDP on PE 1 to establish LDP LSPs.

Prerequisite

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Procedure

1.     Configure basic MPLS L3VPN:

¡     Configure OSPF on the MPLS backbone to allow the PEs and P device to learn the routes of the loopback interfaces from each other.

¡     Configure basic MPLS and MPLS LDP on the MPLS backbone to establish LDP LSPs.

¡     Establish MP-IBGP peer relationship between the PEs to advertise VPN IPv4 routes.

¡     Configure the VPN instance of VPN 1 on PE 2 to allow CE 2 to access the network.

¡     Configure the VPN instance of VPN 1 on PE 1 to allow CE 1 to access the network.

¡     Configure BGP as the PE-CE routing protocol, and redistribute routes of CEs into PEs.

For more information about basic MPLS L3VPN configurations, see "Example: Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN."

# Execute the display ip routing-table command on CE 2. The output shows that CE 2 has learned the route to network 10.1.1.0/24, where the interface used by CE 1 to access PE 1 resides. However, it has not learned the route to the VPN (100.1.1.0/24) behind CE 1.

Prerequisite

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Procedure

1.     Configure basic MPLS L3VPN:

¡     Configure OSPF on the MPLS backbone to allow the PEs and P device to learn the routes of the loopback interfaces from each other.

¡     Configure basic MPLS and MPLS LDP on the MPLS backbone to establish LDP LSPs.

¡     Establish MP-IBGP peer relationship between the PEs to advertise VPN IPv4 routes.

¡     Configure the VPN instance of VPN 1 on PE 1 to allow CE 1 to access the network.

¡     Configure the VPN instance of VPN 1 on PE 2 to allow CE 2 to access the network.

¡     Configure the VPN instance of VPN 1 on PE 3 to allow CE 3 to access the network.

¡     Configure BGP as the PE-CE routing protocol, and redistribute routes of CEs into PEs.

For more information about basic MPLS L3VPN configurations, see "Example: Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN."

2.     Configure BGP AS number substitution:

# Configure BGP AS number substitution on PE 1, PE 2, and PE 3. For more information about the configuration, see "Example: Configuring BGP AS number substitution."

# Display routing information on CE 2. The output shows that CE 2 has learned the route for 100.1.1.1/32 from CE 1. A routing loop has occurred because CE 1 and CE 2 reside in the same site.

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Procedure

1.     Configure IP addresses and masks for interfaces as shown in Table 15, and configure BGP and MPLS L3VPN. (Details not shown.)

For more information about configuring basic MPLS L3VPN, see "Example: Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN."

2.     Configure MPLS L3VPN FRR on PE 1:

# Configure BFD to test the connectivity of the LSP to 2.2.2.2/32.

<PE1> system-view

[PE1] mpls bfd enable

[PE1] mpls bfd 2.2.2.2 32

# Create routing policy frr, and specify the backup next hop as 10.1.1.1 for the route to 4.4.4.4/32.

[PE1] ip prefix-list abc index 10 permit 4.4.4.4 32

[PE1] route-policy frr permit node 10

[PE1-route-policy] if-match ip address prefix-list abc

[PE1-route-policy] apply fast-reroute backup-nexthop 10.1.1.1

[PE1-route-policy] quit

# Configure FRR for VPN instance vpn1 to use routing policy frr.

[PE1] bgp 100

[PE1-bgp-default] ip vpn-instance vpn1

[PE1-bgp-default-vpn1] address-family ipv4 unicast

[PE1-bgp-default-ipv4-vpn1] fast-reroute route-policy frr

[PE1-bgp-default-ipv4-vpn1] quit

[PE1-bgp-default-vpn1] quit

# Specify the preferred value as 200 for BGP VPNv4 routes received from PE 2. This value is greater than the preferred value (0) for IPv4 unicast routes from CE 2, so PE 1 prefers the routes from PE 2.

[PE1-bgp-default] address-family vpnv4

[PE1-bgp-default-vpnv4] peer 2.2.2.2 preferred-value 200

[PE1-bgp-default-vpnv4] quit

[PE1-bgp-default] quit

3.     Enable MPLS BFD on PE 2.

<PE2> system-view

[PE2] mpls bfd enable

Verifying the configuration

# Display detailed information about the route to 4.4.4.4/32 on PE 1. The output shows the backup next hop for the route.

[PE1] display ip routing-table vpn-instance vpn1 4.4.4.4 32 verbose
