To enable the automatic selection of an RD on an NE
Before you begin
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 an NE, a Type-1 RD is automatically allocated by the NE based on the community range that you configure.
Steps
1 |
On the equipment tree, right-click on an NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens. |
2 |
Click on the Globals tab, and then the Service tab. |
3 |
Click on the BGP Groups tab and configure the Enable Auto Route Distinguisher parameter. |
4 |
Configure the IP Address parameter in the Auto RD panel. |
5 |
Configure the parameters in the Community Range panel. |
6 |
Save your changes and close the forms. End of steps |
