To enable the automatic selection of an RD on an NE

Before you begin

Since an RD must be unique on each PE in the network, you can allocate either a route distinguisher that you manually select or an NE-selected route distinguisher for each service. When you configure an auto-RD on an NE, a Type-1 RD is automatically allocated by the NE based on the community range that you configure.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, right-click on an NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Globals tab, and then the Service tab.


Click on the BGP Groups tab and configure the Enable Auto Route Distinguisher parameter.


Configure the IP Address parameter in the Auto RD panel.


Configure the parameters in the Community Range panel.


Save your changes and close the forms.
