Perform the following steps on an NPE:

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface virtual-ethernet interface-number.subinterface-number or interface global-ve interface-number.subinterface-number
The L3VE sub-interface or global L3VE sub-interface view is displayed.
Run vlan-type dot1q vlan-id
A VLAN to be associated with the sub-interface is specified, and the VLAN encapsulation type is set to dot1q.
Run ip binding vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
The sub-interface is bound to a VPN instance.
Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }
A private network IP address is configured for the MPLS L3VPN.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
