Binding an Interface to a VPN Instance

By binding an interface to a VPN instance, you can change the interface to a VPN interface. Then, packets entering this interface are forwarded according to the forwarding information of the VPN instance.

Context

The configuration on the Hub-PE involves two interfaces or sub-interfaces:

One is bound to VPN-in for receiving the routes advertised by Spoke-PEs.
One is bound to VPN-out for advertising the routes of all the Hub sites and Spoke sites.

Perform the following steps on the Hub-PE and all the Spoke-PEs:

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface interface-type interface-number
The view of the interface to be bound to the VPN instance is displayed.
Run ip binding vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
The interface is bound to a VPN instance.

After the ip binding vpn-instance command is run on an interface, the Layer 3 features such as the IP address and routing protocol configured on the interface are deleted.
Run ipv6 enable
IPv6 is enabled on the interface.
Run ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address prefix-length }
An IPv6 address is configured for the interface.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
