Binding an Interface to an EVPN Instance

After an interface is bound to an EVPN instance, the interface becomes a part of the EVPN. Packets entering the interface will then be forwarded based on EVPN instance traffic forwarding entries.

Context

After an EVPN instance is configured on a PE, an interface that belongs to the EVPN must be bound to the EVPN instance. Otherwise, the interface functions as a public network interface and cannot forward EVPN traffic.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed. In a CE dual-homing scenario, the interface must be an Eth-Trunk interface.
Run evpn binding vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
The interface is bound to an EVPN instance.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
