Configure Route Exchange Between an MCE Device and VPN Sites

Context

Routing protocols that can be used between an MCE device and VPN sites are IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, IS-IS IPv6, and BGP4+. Choose one of the following configurations as needed:

The following configurations are performed on the MCE device. On the devices in the site, you only need to configure the corresponding routing protocol.

Configure IPv6 Static Routes Between an MCE Device and a Site

Perform the following configurations on the MCE device. You only need to configure a IPv6 static route to the MCE device in the site. The site configuration is not provided here. For detailed configuration of static routes, see Configuring IPv6 Static Routes in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - IP Unicast Routing.

Table 1 MCE configuration

Action

Command

Description

Enter the system view.

system-view

-

Configure an ipv6 static route to the site.

ipv6 route-static vpn-instance vpn-instance-name dest-ipv6-address prefix-length { [ interface-type interface-number ] nexthop-ipv6-address | nexthop-ipv6-address [ public ] } [ preference preference | tag tag ] *

You must specify the next hop address on the MCE device.

Configure RIPng Between an MCE Device and a Site

Perform the following configurations on the MCE device. For detailed RIPng configuration, see RIPng Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - IP Unicast Routing.
Table 2 MCE configuration

Action

Command

Description

Enter the system view.

system-view

-

Create a RIPng process running between the MCE device and the site and enter the RIPng view.

ripng process-id vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

A RIPng process can be bound to only one VPN instance. If a RIPng process is not bound to any VPN instance before it is started, this process becomes a public network process and can no longer be bound to a VPN instance.

(Optional) Import the routes to the remote sites advertised by the PE device in to the RIPng routing table.

import-route { { ripng | isis | ospfv3 } [ process-id ] | bgp [ permit-ibgp ] | unr | direct | static } [ [ cost cost | inherit-cost ] | route-policy route-policy-name ] *

Perform this step if another routing protocol is running between the MCE and PE devices in the VPN instance.

Return to system view.

quit

-

Enter the view of the interface to which the VPN instance is bound.

interface interface-type interface-number

-

Enable RIPng on the interface.

ripng process-id enable

-

Configure OSPFv3 Between an MCE Device and a Site

Perform the following configurations on the MCE device. Configure OSPFv3 in the site. The site configuration is not provided here. For detailed OSPFv3 configuration, see OSPFv3 Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - IP Unicast Routing.

Table 3 MCE configuration

Action

Command

Description

Enter the system view.

system-view

-

Create an OSPFv3 process running between the MCE device and the site and enter the OSPFv3 view.

ospfv3 process-id vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

-

Configure the OSPFv3 router ID.

router-id router-id

-

(Optional) Import the routes to the remote sites advertised by the PE device into the OSPFv3 routing table.

import-route { bgp [ permit-ibgp ] | unr | direct | ripng help-process-id | static | isis help-process-id | ospfv3 help-process-id } [ { cost cost | inherit-cost } | type type | tag tag | route-policy route-policy-name ]*

Perform this step if another routing protocol is running between the MCE and PE devices in the VPN instance.

Return to system view.

quit

-

Enter the view of the interface to which the VPN instance is bound.

interface interface-type interface-number

-

Enable OSPFv3 on the interface.

ospfv3 process-id area area-id [ instance instance-id ]

-

Configure IS-IS IPv6 Between an MCE Device and a Site

Perform the following configurations on the MCE device. You only need to configure IS-IS IPv6 in the site. The site configuration is not provided here. For detailed IS-IS configuration, see IPv6 IS-IS Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - IP Unicast Routing.

Table 4 MCE configuration

Action

Command

Description

Enter the system view.

system-view

-

Create an IS-IS process running between the MCE device and the site and enter the IS-IS IPv6 view.

isis process-id vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

An IS-IS process can be bound to only one VPN instance. If an IS-IS IPv6 process is not bound to any VPN instance before it is started, this process becomes a public network process and can no longer be bound to a VPN instance.

Set a network entity title (NET) for the IS-IS process.

network-entity net

A NET specifies the current IS-IS area address and the system ID of the switch. A maximum of three NETs can be configured for one process on each switch.

Enable IS-IS IPv6 on the process.

ipv6 enable [ topology { compatible [ enable-mt-spf ] | ipv6 | standard } ]

-

(Optional) Import the routes to the remote sites advertised by the PE device into the IS-IS IPv6 routing table.

Use either of the following commands:
  • ipv6 import-route { direct | unr | { ospfv3 | ripng | isis } [ process-id ] | bgp } inherit-cost [ tag tag | route-policy route-policy-name | [ level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2 ] ] *

  • ipv6 import-route { static | direct | unr | { ospfv3 | ripng | isis } [ process-id ] | bgp } [ cost cost | tag tag | route-policy route-policy-name | [ level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2 ] ] *

Perform this step if another routing protocol is running between the MCE and PE devices in the VPN instance.

Return to system view.

quit

-

Enter the view of the interface to which the VPN instance is bound.

interface interface-type interface-number

-

Enable IS-IS IPv6 on the interface.

isis ipv6 enable [ process-id ]

-
