To create a BGP VPWS
Steps
1 |
Enable and configure BGP on the NEs involved in the BGP VPWS. See BGP configuration workflow and procedures for information about how to configure BGP. |
2 |
Create and distribute a Service PW template policy to the NEs involved in the VPWS. See Chapter 83, Service PW template policies for more information about how to use Service PW template policies. You must set the VC-Type parameter to VLAN. |
3 |
Create a routing policy statement to define the required community members. See To configure a routing policy statement . This defines the VSI Import/Export Routing Targets. |
4 |
Create an Epipe service. See To create a VLL service for information about how to create an Epipe service. |
5 |
Create the Epipe sites for the BGP VPWS. See To configure a VLL site for information about how to create an Epipe site. Note: Epipe switching sites can have only one spoke SDP binding configured when BGP VPWS is enabled. When BGP VPWS is enabled on an Epipe switching site, the tunnel used in the spoke SDP binding must be GRE with no signaling. You cannot enable BGP VPWS if there are more than one spoke SDP bindings on the switching site, or if there is one or more spoke SDP bindings with a non-GRE tunnel. |
6 |
Select one of the Epipe sites you created in Step 5 . The Site Epipe Service (Edit) form appears. |
7 |
Click on the BGP tab. |
8 |
Enable the Enable BGP parameter. The BGP panel is displayed. |
9 |
Click Create. The BGP Configuration form opens. |
10 |
Configure the Route Distinguisher parameter. |
11 |
Click on the PW Template Binding tab and perform one of the following:
|
12 |
Create one or more PW Template Bindings:
|
13 |
Click on the VSI Import Policies tab and select up to five import policies. Alternatively, you can enter the policy names manually. |
14 |
Perform one of the following:
|
15 |
Click on the VSI Export Policies tab and select up to five export policies. Alternatively, you can enter the policy names manually. |
16 |
Perform one of the following:
|
17 |
Save the changes and close the BGP Configuration form. |
18 |
Configure the parameters on the VPWS tab. |
19 |
Create a remote VE instance, if required. |
20 |
Configure the parameters in the EVPN tab. |
21 |
Click Apply. |
22 |
Repeat Step 6 to Step 21 for each site in the VPWS. When the sites have been configured, endpoints and associated spoke SDP bindings are automatically created by the nodes. End of steps |
