To enable the automatic selection of an RD on a VLL Epipe site
Prerequisites
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 a VLL Epipe site, a Type-1 RD is automatically allocated by the NE based on the community range that you configure.
Steps
1 |
Before you configure a site for auto-RD selection, you must:
|
2 |
Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens. |
3 |
Choose a VLL service and click Properties. The Epipe Service (Edit) form opens. |
4 |
On the navigation tree, right-click on Epipe Service and choose Create Epipe Site, or right-click on a site and choose Properties. The Epipe Site (Create|Edit) form opens. |
5 |
Click on the BGP tab, then on the General tab, and enable the Enable BGP parameter. |
6 |
Configure the Auto Route Distinguisher parameter in the RD panel. The Operational RD is displayed after you apply the changes to the site and to the service. |
7 |
Save the changes and close the forms. End of steps |
