Configure SPBM IPv4 Layer 3 VSN

Before you begin

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

  • You must configure a VRF and IP VPN instance on the switch. For more information about how to configure a VRF, see VRF Lite configuration using Enterprise Device Manager.

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

About this task

After you have configured the SPBM infrastructure, you can enable SPBM Layer 3 Virtual Services Network (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 a non-default VRF, just like in the Global Router, the routes are not redistributed into IS-IS automatically. To advertise the VRF routes, you must explicitly redistribute a protocol into IS-IS, within the context of a VRF. Routing between VRFs is also possible by using redistribution policies and injecting routes from the other protocols. This procedure includes a route policy. To configure IS-IS redistribution, see Configure IPv4 IS-IS redistribution.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Select IP-VPN.
  3. Select the VPN tab.
  4. To create an IP VPN instance, select Insert.
  5. Select the ellipsis (...), select a VRF to associate with the IP VPN, and select Ok.
  6. Select Insert.
  7. In Enable, select enable to enable the IP VPN on the VRF.
  8. In IsidNumber, specify an I-SID to associate with the VPN.
  9. Select Apply.
  10. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  11. Select Policy.
  12. To identify routes on the local switch to be announced into the SPBM network, select the Route Redistribution tab.
  13. Select Insert.
  14. In DstVrfId, select the ellipsis (...), and then select the destination VRF ID and select Ok.
  15. In Protocol, select isis as the route destination.
  16. In SrcVrfId, select the ellipsis (...) and then select the source VRF ID and select Ok.
  17. In RouteSource, select the source protocol.
  18. In Enable, select enable.
  19. In RoutePolicy, select the ellipsis (...), choose the route policy to apply to the redistributed routes and select Ok.
  20. Configure the other parameters as required.
  21. Select Insert.
  22. To apply the redistribution configuration, select the Applying Policy tab.
  23. Select RedistributeApply, and then select Apply.
