BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

First Published: February 23, 2007
Last Updated: February 23, 2007

BGP support for the L2VPN address family introduces a BGP-based autodiscovery mechanism to distribute Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) endpoint provisioning information. BGP uses a separate L2VPN routing information base (RIB) to store endpoint provisioning information, which is updated each time any Layer 2 virtual forwarding instance (VFI) is configured. When BGP distributes the endpoint provisioning information in an update message to all its BGP neighbors, the endpoint information is used to set up a pseudowire mesh to support L2VPN-based services.

Prerequisites for BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

This feature assumes prior knowledge of Virtual Private Network (VPN), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), and Multiprotocol Layer Switching (MPLS) technologies.

Restrictions for BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

•For route maps used within BGP, all commands related to prefix processing, tag processing, and automated tag processing are ignored when used under L2VPN address family configuration. All other route map commands are supported.

•BGP multipaths and confederations are not supported under the L2VPN address family.

Information About BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

To configure BGP support for the L2VPN address family, you should understand the following concept.

•L2VPN Address Family

L2VPN Address Family

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB and later releases, support for the L2VPN address family is introduced. L2VPN is defined as a secure network that operates inside an unsecured network by using an encryption technology such as IP security (IPsec) or Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). The L2VPN address family is configured under BGP routing configuration mode, and within the L2VPN address family the VPLS subsequent address family identifier (SAFI) is supported.

BGP support for the L2VPN address family introduces a BGP-based autodiscovery mechanism to distribute L2VPN endpoint provisioning information. BGP uses a separate L2VPN routing information base (RIB) to store endpoint provisioning information, which is updated each time any Layer 2 VFI is configured. Prefix and path information is stored in the L2VPN database, allowing BGP to make best-path decisions. When BGP distributes the endpoint provisioning information in an update message to all its BGP neighbors, the endpoint information is used to set up a pseudowire mesh to support L2VPN-based services.

The BGP autodiscovery mechanism facilitates the setting up of L2VPN services, which are an integral part of the Cisco IOS Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) feature. VPLS enables flexibility in deploying services by connecting geographically dispersed sites as a large LAN over high-speed Ethernet in a robust and scalable IP MPLS network. For more details about VPLS, see the VPLS Autodiscovery: BGP Based feature.

Under L2VPN address family, the following BGP command-line interface (CLI) commands are supported:

•bgp nexthop

•bgp scan-time

•neighbor activate

•neighbor advertisement-interval

•neighbor allowas-in

•neighbor capability

•neighbor inherit

•neighbor maximum-prefix

•neighbor next-hop-self

•neighbor next-hop-unchanged

•neighbor peer-group

•neighbor remove-private-as

•neighbor route-map

•neighbor route-reflector-client

•neighbor send-community

•neighbor soft-reconfiguration

•neighbor soo

•neighbor weight

Note For route reflectors using L2VPNs, the neighbor next-hop-self and neighbor next-hop-unchanged commands are not supported.

For route maps used within BGP, all commands related to prefix processing, tag processing, and automated tag processing are ignored when used under L2VPN address family configuration. All other route map commands are supported.

BGP multipaths and confederations are not supported under the L2VPN address family.

How to Configure BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

This section contains the following task:

•Configuring VPLS Autodiscovery Using BGP and the L2VPN Address Family

Configuring VPLS Autodiscovery Using BGP and the L2VPN Address Family

Perform this task to implement VPLS autodiscovery of each provider edge (PE) router that is a member of a specific VPLS. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB, the BGP L2VPN address family was introduced with a separate L2VPN routing information base (RIB) that contains endpoint provisioning information. BGP learns the endpoint provisioning information from the L2VPN database, which is updated each time any Layer 2 (L2) virtual forwarding instance (VFI) is configured. When BGP distributes the endpoint provisioning information in an update message to all its BGP neighbors, the endpoint information is used to set up a pseudowire (PW) mesh to support L2VPN-based services.

BGP-based VPLS autodiscovery eliminates the need to manually provision a VPLS neighbor. After a PE router configures itself to be a member of a particular VPLS, information needed to set up connections to remote routers in the same VPLS is distributed by a discovery process. When the discovery process is complete, each member of the VPLS will have the information needed to set up VPLS PWs to form the full mesh of PWs needed for the VPLS.

This task is configured at router N-PE3 in Figure 1 and must be repeated at routers N-PE1 and N-PE2 with the appropriate changes such as different IP addresses. For a full configuration of these routers, see the "Configuring VPLS Autodiscovery Using BGP and the L2VPN Address Family: Example" section.

Figure 1 Network Diagram for BGP Autodiscovery Using the L2VPN Address Family

In this task, the PE router N-PE3 in Figure 1 is configured with a Layer 2 router ID, a VPN ID, a VPLS ID, and enabled to automatically discover other PE routers that are part of the same VPLS domain. A BGP session is created to activate BGP neighbors under the L2VPN address family. Finally, two optional show commands are entered to verify the steps in the task.

VPLS ID

A VPLS ID is a BGP extended community value that identifies the VPLS domain. Manual configuration of this ID is optional because a default VPLS ID is generated using the BGP autonomous system number and the configured VPN ID. A VPLS ID can be composed in one of two ways: with an autonomous system number and an arbitrary number or with an IP address and an arbitrary number.

You can enter a VPLS ID in either of these formats:

•Enter a 16-bit autonomous system number, a colon, and a 32-bit number. For example:

45000:3

•Enter a 32-bit IP address, a colon, and a 16-bit number. For example:

192.168.10.15:1

Prerequisites

This task assumes that MPLS is configured with VPLS options. For more details, see the VPLS Autodiscovery: BGP Based feature.

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

l2 router-id ip-address

Example:

Router(config)# l2 router-id 10.1.1.3

Specifies a router ID (in IP address format) for the provider edge (PE) router to use with Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) autodiscovery pseudowires.

•In this example, the L2 router ID is defined as 10.1.1.3.

Step 4 

l2 vfi vfi-name autodiscovery

Example:

Router(config)# l2 vfi customerA autodiscovery

Creates an L2 VFI, enables the VPLS PE router to automatically discover other PE routers that are part of the same VPLS domain, and enters L2 VFI autodiscovery configuration mode.

•In this example, the L2 VFI named customerA is created.

Step 5 

vpn id vpn-id

Example:

Router(config-vfi)# vpn id 100

Specifies a VPN ID.

•Use the same VPN ID for the PE routers that belong to the same VPN. Make sure that the VPN ID is unique for each VPN in the service provider network.

•Use the vpn-id argument to specify a number in the range from 1 to 4294967295.

•In this example, a VPN ID of 100 is specified.

Step 6 

vpls-id vpls-id

Example:

Router(config-vfi)# vpls-id 65000:100

(Optional) Specifies a VPLS ID.

•The VPLS ID is an identifier that is used to identify the VPLS domain. This command is optional because a default VPLS ID is automatically generated using the BGP autonomous-system number and the VPN ID configured for the VFI. Only one VPLS ID can be configured per VFI, and the same VPLS ID cannot be configured in multiple VFIs on the same router.

•In this example, a VPLS ID of 65000:100 is specified.

Step 7 

exit

Example:

Router(config-vfi)# exit

Exits L2 VFI autodiscovery configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Step 8 

Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 to configure other L2 VFIs and associated VPN and VPLS IDs.

—

Step 9 

router bgp autonomous-system-number

Example:

Router(config)# router bgp 65000

Enters router configuration mode for the specified routing process.

Step 10 

no bgp default ipv4-unicast

Example:

Router(config-router)# no bgp default ipv4-unicast

Disables the IPv4 unicast address family for the BGP routing process.

Note Routing information for the IPv4 unicast address family is advertised by default for each BGP routing session configured with the neighbor remote-as router configuration command unless you configure the no bgp default ipv4-unicast router configuration command before configuring the neighbor remote-as command. Existing neighbor configurations are not affected.

Step 11 

bgp log-neighbor-changes

Example:

Router(config-router)# bgp log-neighbor-changes

Enables logging of BGP neighbor resets.

Step 12 

bgp update-delay seconds

Example:

Router(config-router)# bgp update-delay 1

Sets the maximum initial delay period before a BGP-speaking networking device sends its first updates.

•Use the seconds argument to set the delay period.

Step 13 

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} remote-as autonomous-system-number

Example:

Router(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 65000

Adds the IP address or peer group name of the neighbor in the specified autonomous system to the IPv4 multiprotocol BGP neighbor table of the local router.

•If the autonomous-system-number argument matches the autonomous system number specified in the router bgp command, the neighbor is an internal neighbor.

•If the autonomous-system-number argument does not match the autonomous system number specified in the router bgp command, the neighbor is an external neighbor.

•In this example, the neighbor at 10.10.10.1 is an internal BGP neighbor.

Step 14 

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} update-source interface-type interface-number

Example:

Router(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 update-source loopback1

(Optional) Configures a router to select a specific source or interface to receive routing table updates.

•This example uses a loopback interface. The advantage to this configuration is that the loopback interface is not as susceptible to the effects of a flapping interface.

Step 15 

Repeat Step 13 and Step 14 to configure other BGP neighbors.

—

Step 16 

address-family l2vpn [vpls]

Example:

Router(config-router)# address-family l2vpn vpls

Specifies the L2VPN address family and enters address family configuration mode.

•The optional vpls keyword specifies that VPLS endpoint provisioning information is to be distributed to BGP peers.

•In this example, an L2VPN VPLS address family session is created.

Step 17 

neighbor ip-address activate

Example:

Router(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 activate

Enables the neighbor to exchange information for the L2VPN VPLS address family with the local router.

Note If you have configured a BGP peer group as a neighbor, you do not use this step. BGP peer groups are activated when a BGP parameter is configured. For example, the neighbor send-community command in the next step will automatically activate a peer group.

Step 18 

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} send-community [both | standard | extended]

Example:

Router(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 send-community extended

Specifies that a communities attribute should be sent to a BGP neighbor.

•In this example, an extended communities attribute is sent to the neighbor at 10.10.10.1.

Step 19 

Repeat Step 17 and Step 18 to activate other BGP neighbors under L2VPN address family.

—

Step 20 

end

Example:

Router(config-router-af)# end

Exits address family configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 21 

show vfi

Example:

Router# show vfi

(Optional) Displays information about the configured VFI instances.

Step 22 

show ip bgp l2vpn vpls {all | rd vpn-rd}

Example:

Router# show ip bgp l2vpn vpls all

(Optional) Displays information about the L2 VPN VPLS address family.


Examples

The following is example output from the show vfi command that shows two VFIs, CustomerA and CustomerB, with their associated VPN and VPLS IDs: 

Router# show vfi


Legend: RT=Route-target, S=Split-horizon, Y=Yes, N=No


VFI name: customerA, state: down, type: multipoint

  VPN ID: 100, VPLS-ID: 65000:100

Configuration Examples for BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

This section contains the following configuration example:

•Configuring VPLS Autodiscovery Using BGP and the L2VPN Address Family: Example

Configuring VPLS Autodiscovery Using BGP and the L2VPN Address Family: Example

In this configuration example, all the routers in autonomous system 65000 in Figure 2 are configured to provide BGP support for the L2VPN address family. VPLS autodiscovery is enabled and L2 VFI and VPN IDs are configured. BGP neighbors are configured and activated under L2VPN address family to ensure that the VPLS endpoint provisioning information is saved to a separate L2VPN RIB and then distributed to the other BGP peers in BGP update messages. When the endpoint information is received by the BGP peers, a pseudowire mesh is set up to support L2VPN-based services.

Feature Information

BGP Support for the L2VPN Address Family

12.2(33)SRB

BGP support for the L2VPN address family introduces a BGP-based autodiscovery mechanism to distribute L2VPN endpoint provisioning information. BGP uses a separate L2VPN routing information base (RIB) to store endpoint provisioning information, which is updated each time any Layer 2 VFI is configured. When BGP distributes the endpoint provisioning information in an update message to all its BGP neighbors, the endpoint information is used to set up a pseudowire mesh to support L2VPN-based services.
