IPv6 MPLS L3VPN configuration task list
Task Remarks
Configuring basic IPv6 MPLS L3VPN
By configuring basic IPv6 MPLS L3VPN, you can
construct simple IPv6 VPN networks over an MPLS
backbone.
To deploy special IPv6 MPLS L3VPN networks,
such as inter-AS VPN, you must also perform some
specific configurations in addition to the basic IPv6
MPLS L3VPN configuration. For more information,
see the related sections.
Configuring basic IPv6 MPLS L3VPN
The key task in IPv6 MPLS L3VPN configuration is to manage the advertisement of IPv6 VPN routes
on the MPLS backbone, including PE-CE route exchange and PE-PE route exchange.
To configure basic IPv6 MPLS L3VPN:
Task
Remarks
Required.
Associating a VPN instance with an interface
Required.
Configuring route related attributes for a VPN
instance
Optional.
Configuring a tunneling policy for a VPN instance
Optional.
Optional.
Configuring routing between a PE and a CE
Required.
Configuring routing between PEs
Required.
Configuring routing features for the BGP-VPNv6 subaddress family
Optional.
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 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:
