Information About BGP VPLS Auto Discovery Support on Route Reflector
BGP VPLS Autodiscovery Support on Route Reflector
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, BGP VPLS Autodiscovery Support on Route Reflector was introduced. On the Cisco 7600 and Cisco 7200 series routers, BGP Route Reflector was enhanced to be able to reflect BGP VPLS prefixes without having VPLS explicitly configured on the route reflector. The route reflector reflects the VPLS prefixes to other provider edge (PE) routers so that the PEs do not need to have a full mesh of BGP sessions. The network administrator configures only the BGP VPLS address family on the route reflector.
For an example of a route reflector configuration that can reflect VPLS prefixes, see the “Example: BGP VPLS Autodiscovery Support on Route Reflector” section. For more information about VPLS Autodiscovery, see the “VPLS Autodiscovery BGP Based” module in the MPLS Layer 2 VPNs Configuration Guide .
Configuration Example for BGP VPLS Auto Discovery Support on Route Reflector
Example: BGP VPLS Autodiscovery Support on Route Reflector
In the following example, a host named PE-RR (indicating Provider Edge Route Reflector) is configured as a route reflector capable of reflecting VPLS prefixes. The VPLS address family is configured by address-family l2vpn vpls command.
hostname PE-RR ! router bgp 1 bgp router-id 1.1.1.3 no bgp default route-target filter bgp log-neighbor-changes neighbor iBGP_PEERS peer-group neighbor iBGP_PEERS remote-as 1 neighbor iBGP_PEERS update-source Loopback1 neighbor 1.1.1.1 peer-group iBGP_PEERS neighbor 1.1.1.2 peer-group iBGP_PEERS ! address-family l2vpn vpls neighbor iBGP_PEERS send-community extended neighbor iBGP_PEERS route-reflector-client neighbor 1.1.1.1 peer-group iBGP_PEERS neighbor 1.1.1.2 peer-group iBGP_PEERS exit-address-family !
