Chapter 6 IPv6 VPN over MPLS

Provisioning Route Targets

Use the following procedures to enable IPv6 VRFs and add or delete route targets with IPv4 and IPv6 address families:

•Enabling IPv6 VRFs, page 6-12

•Adding Route Targets with IPv4 and IPv6 Address Families, page 6-12

•Deleting Route Targets with IPv4 and IPv6 Address Families, page 6-13

Enabling IPv6 VRFs

To configure a VRF with an IPv6 address family, IPv6 VRF must be enabled on the device. You can do this in Cisco NetworkVision by completing the following steps:

Step 1 Display the Cisco NetworkVision inventory window.

Step 2 Right-click the ASR device where you want to enable the IPv6 VRF and choose Commands > VRF > Enable IPv6 VRF.

The Enable IPv6 VRF command window appears.

Step 3 Click Preview to preview the command.

A preview of the command that will be executed appears in the Preview tab.

Step 4 Click the Input tab, then click Execute.

The results are displayed in the Preview tab.

Step 5 Click Close.

Adding Route Targets with IPv4 and IPv6 Address Families

To add a route target with an IPv4 or IPv6 address family:

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision navigation tree, right-click the router containing the VRF to which you want to assign a route target and choose Inventory.

Step 2 In the device inventory view, expand the Logical Inventory tree until you reach the VRF to which you want to assign the route target with address family.

Step 3 Right-click the VRF and choose Commands > Add Route Target.

Step 4 In the Add Route Target dialog box Input tab, enter the following:

•VPN Community—Choose the VPN community to which you want to add the route target address family, either Import or Export.

•Route Target—Enter the route target in the format ASN:nn or IP-address:nn, where ASN is the associated system number and nn is the number assigned to the route target.

•Address Family—Enter the address family:

–IPv4—Assigns an IPv4 address family to the route target.

–IPv6—Assigns an IPv6 address family to the route target.

–Not_Set—Adds a route target without an address family.
