Configure Routing Instances for Layer 2 VPNs on the PE Routers

To configure routing instances for Layer 2 VPNs, include the routing-instances statement at the [edit] hierarchy level. You configure Layer 2 VPN routing instances only on the PE routers.

Configure the routing instance as follows:

    [edit]

    routing-instances {

        routing-instance-name {

            description text;

            instance-type l2vpn;

            interface interface-name;

            route-distinguisher (as-number:id | ip-address:id);

            vrf-export [ policy-name ]

            vrf-import [ policy-name ]

        }

    }    

 For the Layer 2 VPN to function, you must include the instance-type, interface, route-distinguisher, vrf-export, and vrf-import statements in the routing instance configuration on the PE router.
