Configure SPBM IPv4 Layer 3 VSN

After you have configured the SPBM infrastructure, you can enable SPBM Layer 3 VSN to advertise IPv4 routes across the SPBM network from one VRF to another using the following procedure.

SPBM Layer 3 VSN uses IS-IS to exchange the routing information for each VRF. In the VRF, just like in the Global Router (VRF 0), the routes are not redistributed into IS-IS automatically. To advertise the VRF routes, you must explicitly redistribute one of the following protocols into IS-IS: direct, static, RIP, OSPF, or BGP. Routing between VRFs is also possible by using redistribution policies and injecting routes from the other protocols.

Before you begin

  • You must configure the required SPBM IS-IS infrastructure.

  • You must configure a VRF on the switch. For more information, see VRF Lite Configuration using CLI.

  • You must create the Customer VLANs and add slots/ports.

Procedure

  1. Enter VRF Router Configuration mode for a specific VRF context:

    enable

    configure terminal

    router vrf WORD<1-16>

  2. Create an IPv4 VPN instance on the VRF:

    ipvpn

  3. Configure SPBM Layer 3 VSN:

    i-sid <0–16777215>

  4. Enable IPv4 VPN on the VRF:

    ipvpn enable

    By default, a new IPv4 VPN instance is disabled.

  5. Display all IPv4 VPNs:

    show ip ipvpn [vrf WORD<1–16>] [vrfids WORD<0–512>]

  6. Identify routes on the local switch to be announced into the SPBM network:

    isis redistribute {direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static}

  7. Enable routes on the local switch to be announced into the SPBM network:

    isis redistribute {direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static} enable

  8. If you want to delete or disable the configuration, use the no option:

    no isis redistribute {direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static}

    no isis redistribute {direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static} enable

  9. Identify other routing protocols to which to redistribute IS-IS routes:

    ip {bgp | ospf | rip} redistribute isis

  10. Enable IS-IS redistribution to other routing protocols::

    ip {bgp | ospf | rip} redistribute isis enable

  11. Exit Privileged EXEC mode:

    exit

  12. Apply the configured redistribution:

    isis apply redistribute {direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static} vrf WORD<1–16>

    ip bgp apply redistribute isis vrf WORD<1–16>

    ip ospf apply redistribute isis vrf WORD<1–16>

    ip rip apply redistribute isis vrf WORD<1–16>

  13. Display the redistribution configuration:

    show ip isis redistribute [vrf WORD<1–16>] [vrfids WORD<0–512>]

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the show ip ipvpn command.

Variable

Value

vrf WORD<1–16>

Specifies the VRF name.

vrfids WORD<0–512>

Specifies the VRF ID.

The following table defines parameters for the i-sid command.

Variable

Value

<0–16777215>

Assigns an I-SID to the VRF being configured.

Use the no or default option to remove the I-SID to VRF allocation for this VRF.

The following table defines parameters for the isis redistribute command.

Variable

Value

{direct | bgp | ospf | rip | static}

Specifies the protocol.

enable

Enables the redistribution of the specified protocol into the SPBM network.

The default is disabled. Use the no or default options to disable the redistribution.

metric <0–65535>

Configures the metric (cost) to apply to redistributed routes. The default is 1.

metric-type {external|internal}
