Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MPLS L3VPN, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IGP for the MPLS backbone (on the PEs and Ps) to achieve IP connectivity
•
Configure the MPLS basic capability for the MPLS backbone
•
Configure MPLS LDP for the MPLS backbone so that LDP LSPs can be established
Configuring VPN instances
By configuring VPN instances on a PE, you can isolate not only VPN routes from public network routes,
but also routes of a VPN from those of another VPN. This feature allows VPN instances to be used in
network scenarios besides MPLS L3VPNs.
All VPN instance configurations are performed on PEs or MCEs.
Creating a VPN instance
A VPN instance is associated with a site. It is a collection of the VPN membership and routing rules of its
associated site. A VPN instance does not necessarily correspond to one VPN.
To create and configure a VPN instance:
