To configure a policy to reserve an RT and RD range for VPRN services

Purpose

Configure a range policy to reserve route targets and route distinguishers.

When you create the associated VPRN service, you must enable the Enable RT/RD Auto Assignment parameter on the General tab. You can only configure this parameter during VPRN service creation. See To create a VPRN service .

When you create the associated hub, spoke, or mesh VPRN site or sites, the NFM-P automatically generates the RT and RD based on the range policy. The NFM-P creates the routing policies and community for the sites, and automatically releases and distributes the policies and community to the NEs. The NFM-P assigns the VRF import and export policies to the VPRN site or sites, with the RT values that you are configuring in this range policy, and assigns the auto-generated RD to the VPRN site.

Steps
 

Choose Tools→Network Resources→VPRN RT/RD Auto Assignment from the NFM-P main menu. The VPRN RT/RD Auto Assignment (Edit) form opens.


Configure the Route Distinguisher Type parameter in the Route Distinguisher Range panel and configure the required parameters.


Configure the Route Target Format and Extended Community Type parameters in the Route Target Range panel and configure the required parameters.


Close the forms.
