Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The eca-route-type compatible command is used in OSPF VPN scenarios.

For the router supporting RFC 4577, you can set the route value of the extended community attribute of OSPF VPN to 0x0306 and configure the router to identify both 0x0306 and 0x8000 route types.
For the router that does not support RFC 4577, you can set the route type of the extended community attribute of OSPF VPN to 0x8000 and configure the router to identify only the 0x8000 route type.

By running the eca-route-type compatible command enables different routers to communicate with each other and avoid the failure in parsing the route type because the route type of the extended community attribute of OSPF VPN is unrecognized.

Precautions

The eca-route-type compatible command is forbidden in public network.
