Chapter 1 About Cisco IP Solution Center
Overview of ISC
•Route Distinguisher (RD) pool: The IP subnets advertised by the CE routers to the PE routers are augmented with a
•Site of origin pool: The pool of values for the
All these resources, that are made available to the service provider, enable the automation of service deployment.
Features and Functions Provided in Provisioning with ISC
ISC assumes that the iBGPv4 core over MPLS, IGP, and VPNv4 neighbors are preprovisioned.
The features and functions provided in provisioning MPLS VPNs are as follows:
•ISC configures the IP addresses on the CE and PE interfaces.
IP addresses are assumed to be specified by the service provider and unique in the network.
•Configures CE and PE routing.
This allocates the PE VRF, route target, and route distinguisher values
•Advertises CE site routes to other sites in the same VPN.
•Supports unmanaged CEs
•Allows service request removal and modification
•Support for
–BGP transparent: PE to CE routing protocol metric preserved between VPN sites.
–Neighbor AS override: You can reuse the same autonomous system number between VPN sites.
–
•Supports VRF commands:
–import map
–export map
–maximum routes in a VRF
•Management VPN support
•Provisioning of CE Loopback interfaces
VPN Service Profile-Based Provisioning
For all MPLS VPN provisioning, several network elements that participate in the VPN must be defined. These parameters are:
•Choice of protocols between
•IP addressing for each site joining the IP VPN
