Configuration prerequisites
Before configuring basic IPv6 MPLS L3VPN, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IGP on the PEs and Ps to ensure IP connectivity within the MPLS backbone.
•
Configure basic MPLS for the MPLS backbone
•
Configure MPLS LDP on PEs and Ps to establish LDP LSPs
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
networking scenarios besides MPLS L3VPNs.
All VPN instance configurations are performed on PEs or MCEs.
Creating a VPN instance

associated site. A VPN instance does not necessarily correspond to one VPN.
