Usage Guidelines

The VPN ID uniquely identifies a VPN. This command is only applicable for a VPN VRF. Each VRF configured in a PE router can have a VPN ID. Use the same VPN ID for the VRFs on other PE routers that belong to the same VPN. Ensure that the VPN ID is unique for each VPN in the Service Provider network.

The oui and vpn index parameters must be entered on the CLI in hex format.

Example

The following example assigns VPN ID ac:9f3c8 to a VRF named "corporate-extreme":

configure vr corporate-extreme vpn-id ac:9f3c8
