Chapter 36 Configuring VRF-lite
Configuring a VPN Routing Session
Configuring a VPN Routing Session
Routing within the VPN can be configured with any supported routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, or BGP) or
with static routing. The configuration shown here is for OSPF, but the process is the same for other
protocols.
To configure OSPF in the VPN, perform this task:
Use the no router ospf process-id vrf vrf-name global configuration command to disassociate the VPN
forwarding table from the OSPF routing process.
Configuring BGP PE to CE Routing Sessions
To configure a BGP PE to CE routing session, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# router ospf
process-id vrf vrf-name Enables OSPF routing, specifies a VPN forwarding table,
and enters router configuration mode.
Step 3 Switch(config-router)#
log-adjacency-changes (Optional) Logs changes in the adjacency state (the
default state).
Step 4 Switch(config-router)# redistribute
bgp autonomous-system-number subnets Sets the switch to redistribute information from the BGP
network to the OSPF network.
Step 5 Switch(config-router)# network
network-number area area-id Defines a network address and mask on which OSPF runs
and the area ID for that network address.
Step 6 Switch(config-router)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 Switch# show ip ospf process-id Verifies the configuration of the OSPF network.
Step 8 Switch# copy running-config
startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# router bgp
autonomous-system-number Configures the BGP routing process with the AS number
passed to other BGP routers and enters router
configuration mode.
Step 3 Switch(config-router)# network
network-number mask network-mask Specifies a network and mask to announce using BGP.
Step 4 Switch(config-router)# redistribute
ospf process-id match internal Sets the switch to redistribute OSPF internal routes.
Step 5 Switch(config-router)# network
network-number area area-id Defines a network address and mask on which OSPF runs
and the area ID for that network address.
Step 6 Switch(config-router-af)#
address-family ipv4 vrf vrf-name Defines BGP parameters for PE to CE routing sessions and
enters VRF address-family mode.
Step 7 Switch(config-router-af)# neighbor
address remote-as as-number Defines a BGP session between PE and CE routers.
