segment-routing ipv6 apply-sid evpn (BGP-VPN instance IPv6 address family view)

Usage Scenario

In EVPN L3VPNv6 over SRv6 BE/SRv6 TE Policy scenarios, a SID is allocated to each instance by default. That is, the same SID is assigned to BGP VPN IPv6 routes in a specified VPN instance. After traffic arrives at a PE, the PE searches the IP routing table of the VPN instance for an entry and uses the entry to forward the traffic to a CE. To properly use network resources and reduce network congestion, run the segment-routing ipv6 apply-sid all-nexthop evpn command to assign a SID to each next hop of a BGP private IPv6 route so that traffic is forwarded through different next hops. If only some next hops in a VPN instance are involved in traffic forwarding, you can run the segment-routing ipv6 apply-sid specify-nexthop evpn command to enter the next hop-based SID allocation view and specify a next hop and an outbound interface for SID allocation. With this function configured, a SID is allocated to each specified next hop.

Prerequisites

The segment-routing ipv6 locator evpn command has been run in the BGP-VPN instance IPv6 address family view to enable BGP VPN routes to carry the SID attribute when being sent to the BGP-EVPN address family.

Precautions

If dynamic SIDs cannot be allocated to BGP VPN IPv6 routes based on next hops due to the insufficiency of configured dynamic SID resources, SIDs are allocated to routes based on instances, leading to a failure of SID-based load balancing.
