Configure Routing Instances for Layer 3 VPNs on PE Routers

To configure routing instances for Layer 3 VPNs, include the routing-instances statement at the [edit] hierarchy level. You configure VPN routing instances only on PE routers.

[edit]
routing-instances {
    routing-instance-name {
        description text;
        interface interface-name ;
        instance-type vrf;
        route-distinguisher ( as-number:number | ip-address:number );
        vrf-import [ policy-name ];
        vrf-export [ policy-name  ];
        vrf-target {
            export community-name;
            import community-name;
        }
    }
}


For the VPN to function, you must include the instance-type, interface, route-distinguisher, vrf-import, and vrf-export statements in the routing instance configuration on the PE router. The vrf-table-label statement is optional.

The following sections describe how to configure VPN routing instances:
