Configuring MP-IBGP Between a PE and an ASBR in the Same AS

By introducing extended community attributes into BGP, MP-IBGP can advertise VPNv4 routes between the PE and ASBR.

Procedure

  • Configure the ASBR to establish an MP-IBGP peer relationship with each client PE.

    Perform Steps 1 to 6 repeatedly on the ASBR and its client PEs to establish MP-IBGP peer relationships between them.

    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run bgp as-number

      The BGP view is displayed.

    3. Run peer peer-ipv4-address as-number as-number

      The client PE is specified as a BGP peer.

    4. Run peer peer-ipv4-address connect-interface interface-type interface-number

      The interface used to establish a TCP connection is specified.

    5. Run ipv4-family vpnv4

      The BGP-VPNv4 address family view is displayed.

    6. Run peer peer-ipv4-address enable

      The capability of exchanging VPNv4 routes between the ASBR and the client PE is enabled.

      In the NetEngine 8000 F, an ASBR can change the next-hop address of a VPNv4 route to the ASBR's address before advertising the route to a PE.

    7. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.
