Usage guidelines

After you create a BGP peer in BGP-VPN instance view, the BGP routes learned from the peer are added into the routing table of the specified VPN instance.

This command and all commands in BGP-VPN instance view are typically executed on provider edge (PE) or Multi-VPN-Instance CE (MCE) devices. The commands add routes learned from different sites into different VPN instances.

Before you execute this command, you must perform the following tasks:

• Use the ip vpn-instance command to create the VPN instance in system view.

• Use the route-distinguisher command to configure a route distinguisher (RD) for the VPN instance.

Examples

# Create a BGP-VPN instance and enter its view.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ip vpn-instance vpn1
[Sysname-vpn-instance-vpn1] route-distinguisher 100:1
[Sysname-vpn-instance-vpn1] quit
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp-default] ip vpn-instance vpn1
[Sysname-bgp-default-vpn1]
