Configuring Hub and Spoke

Creating a VPN Instance

This section describes how to configure a VPN instance to manage VPN routes.

Configuring Route Attributes of a VPN Instance

This section describes how to configure the VPN target to control route advertisement and acceptance.

Binding an Interface with the VPN Instance

After associating an interface with a VPN instance, you can change the interface to a VPN interface. As a result, packets that pass through the interface are forwarded based on the forwarding information of the VPN instance, and such layer-3 attributes as IP address and routing protocol that are configured for the interface are deleted. These layer-3 attributes need to be re-configured if required.

Configuring MP-IBGP Between Hub-PE and Spoke-PE

By importing extended community attributes to BGP, MP-IBGP can advertise VPNv4 routes between PEs.

Configuring Route Exchange Between PEs and CEs

The routing protocol between a PE and a CE can be EBGP, static route, or IGP. You can choose any of them as required in the configuration process.
