MPLS Layer 3 VPN PE-CE RIP
In my previous lessons I explained the basics of MPLS L3 VPNs and I explained in detail how to configure it. This time, we are going to configure MPLS VPN PE-CE with RIP as the routing protocol between the customer and service provider.
RIP is a simple routing protocol and easy to implement with MPLS VPN. Here’s the topology we will use:
MPLS L3 VPN PE CE
This is the same topology that I used in my previous examples. Let’s see what the configuration is like…
Configuration
IGP and LDP
We will start with the configuration of the service provider network, we’ll have to configure an IGP (OSPF) and LDP on the PE1, P and PE2 router. Let’s add some loopbacks that are required for LDP:
This time I used the mpls ldp autoconfig command to automatically enable LDP for all OSPF enabled interfaces. Let’s do a quick check to see if LDP is enabled:
P: show mpls ldp neighbor | include Peer
Peer LDP Ident: 2.2.2.2:0; Local LDP Ident 3.3.3.3:0
Peer LDP Ident: 4.4.4.4:0; Local LDP Ident 3.3.3.3:0
Our P router in the middle has two neighbors so this is looking good. Just in case, let’s verify if there is connectivity between PE1 and PE2:
PE1: traceroute 4.4.4.4 source loopback 0
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 4.4.4.4
VRF info: (vrf in name/id, vrf out name/id)
1 192.168.23.3 [MPLS: Label 17 Exp 0] 0 msec 0 msec 4 msec
2 192.168.34.4 0 msec 0 msec *
PE1 and PE2 are able to reach each other and you can see we are using label switching.
VRFs on the PE Routers
Our next step in the configuration is to configure the VRFs. I will use a VRF called “CUSTOMER”, the route distinguisher and route-target will be 1:1.
PE1 & PE2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.45.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
So far so good…
IBGP between PE1 and PE2
Our two PE routers require iBGP to exchange the VPNv4 routes. Let’s configure this:
BGP router identifier 2.2.2.2, local AS number 234
BGP table version is 1, main routing table version 1
Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd
4.4.4.4 4 234 5 6 1 0 0 00:01:03 0
Great, the BGP session has been established.
RIP between PE and CE routers
The only thing left to do is to configure RIP between the PE and CE routers. Let’s start with the CE routers:
The CE routers use regular RIP, nothing special here. Now we will configure the PE routers:
Since the customer is in the VRF, we have to configure RIP not for the global routing table but for this particular VRF. This is done with the address-family, the rest of the configuration is the same. Let’s do the same on PE2:
The PE routers have learned the networks from the CE routers. Now there’s only one thing left to do…somehow
