Configuring Vpn Instances On An Mce Device - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring VPN instances on an MCE device

Configuring VPN instances is required in all MCE networking schemes.
VPN instances isolate not only VPN routes from public network routes, but also routes among VPNs. This
feature allows VPN instances to be used in networking scenarios besides MCE.
Creating a VPN instance
You can configure a description for a VPN instance to record its related information, such as its
relationship with a certain VPN.
To create and configure a VPN instance:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a VPN instance and
enter VPN instance view.
3. Configure an RD for the VPN
instance.
4. (Optional) Configure a
description for the VPN
instance.
NOTE:
To configure BGP for a VPN instance on the MCE, you must configure an RD for the VPN instance.
Associating a VPN instance with an interface
After configuring a VPN instance, you must associate the VPN instance with the interfaces connected to
the VPN site or the PE.
To associate a VPN instance with an interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Associate the current interface
with a VPN instance.
