To enable the automatic selection of an RD on a VPLS site
Purpose
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 VPLS site, B-site, or I-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 VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens. |
4 |
On the navigation tree, right-click on VPLS Service and choose Create VPLS Site, or right-click on a site and choose Properties. The VPLS 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 |
