To configure a routing instance on a VPRN site

Note: The tabs and parameters that are configurable vary depending on the NE.

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.


Choose a VPRN service and click Properties. The VPRN Service (Edit) form opens.


On the service navigation tree, expand the Sites icon, right-click on a routing instance and choose Properties. The VPRN Site (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Routing tab.


Configure the required parameters.

You cannot configure the Carrier Carrier VPN parameter on a VPRN site if interfaces are configured on the site.

When you set the Route Distinguisher Type parameter to Type 0, the following configurable parameters appear:

  • Type 0 Administrative Value

  • Type 0 Assigned Value

You can click on Suggest Value to let the NFM-P assign these values. Choose Generate Unique RD from the drop-down menu.

The Type 0 Administrative Value parameter is the Autonomous System (AS) number of the PE node. For the Type 0 Assigned Value parameter, the NFM-P assigns the next unused number within the valid range. When all of the numbers within the valid range have been used once, the system starts at the beginning of the range and assigns the next available number.

When you set the Route Distinguisher Type parameter to Type 1, the following configurable parameters appear:

  • Type 1 IP Address

  • Type 1 Assigned Value

When you set the Route Distinguisher Type parameter to Type 2, the following configurable parameters appear:

  • Type 2 Administrative Value

  • Type 2 Assigned Value

If you enabled the Enable RT/RD Auto Assignment parameter when you created the VPRN service, the NFM-P automatically configures the Route Distinguisher parameter with the values in the VPRN RT/RD Auto Assignment policy. See To configure a policy to reserve an RT and RD range for VPRN services for information about how to create a VPRN RT/RD Auto Assignment range policy.


To configure importing of leaked GRT routes, add routing policies in the GRT Import Policies sub-tab.


To specify whether SNMP requests are allowed using the VPRN interface, configure the Allow SNMP Access parameter.


Configure the parameters in the GRT panel.


Configure the Enforce Maximum Number Of Routes parameter in the Maximum Number Of Routes panel.

Note: When you select the Enforce Maximum Number Of Routes parameter, the following parameters are configurable:

  • Maximum Number Of Routes

  • Log Only

  • Threshold (%)


10 

Configure the Enforce Maximum Number Of IPv6 Routes parameter in the Maximum Number Of IPv6 Routes panel.

Note: When you select the Enforce Maximum Number Of IPv6 Routes parameter, the following parameters are configurable:

  • Maximum Number Of IPv6 Routes

  • Log Only

  • Threshold (%)


11 

Configure the Enable Backup BGP-VPN Routes parameter in the Backup BGP-VPN Routes panel.


12 

Configure the parameters in the D-Path panel.


13 

Configure the Single SFM Overload Admin State parameter in the Single SFM Overload panel.

The Hold-Off Time (seconds) parameter is configurable when the Single SFM Overload Admin State parameter is set to Up.


14 

Configure the parameters in the Static Route Hold-Down Time panel.

The Initial Hold-Down Time, Hold-Down Time Multiplier, and Maximum Hold-Down Time parameters are configurable when you enable the Enable Hold-Down Time parameter.


15 

Configure the IPv4 Max Size and IPv6 Max Size parameters in the Embedded Flowspec panel, as required.

Configure the Enforce Maximum Number Of Multicast Routes parameter in the Maximum Number Of Multicast Routes panel.

Note: When you enable the Enforce Maximum Number Of Multicast Routes parameter, the following configurable parameters appear:

  • Maximum Number Of Multicast Routes

  • Log Only

  • Threshold (%)

To configure ingress multicast forwarding:

  1. Click on the Mcast Path Mgmt tab.

  2. Select an ingress info policy.

    Note:

    The Mcast Path Mgmt Channels tab displays data on the operational channels after actual traffic from a specific multicast source for a specific multicast group passes through the virtual router. You must click Search to refresh the data. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for a listing of the displayed operational channel parameters.
