Associating a VPN instance with an interface
After creating and configuring a VPN instance, associate the VPN instance with the interface for
connecting the CE. Any LDP-capable interface can be associated with a VPN instance. For more
information about LDP-capable interfaces, see "Configuring basic MPLS."

No VPN instance is associated
with an interface by default.
NOTE:
The
ip binding vpn-instance
command clears the IP address of the interface on which it is
configured. Be sure to re-configure an IP address for the interface after configuring the command.
Configuring route related attributes for a VPN instance
The control process of VPN route advertisement is as follows:
•
When a VPN route learned from a CE gets redistributed into BGP, BGP associates it with a
route target extended community attribute list, which is usually the export target attribute of the
VPN instance associated with the CE.
•
The VPN instance determines which routes it can accept and redistribute according to the
import-extcommunity
in the route target.
•
The VPN instance determines how to change the route targets attributes for routes to be
advertised according to the
export-extcommunity
in the route target.
