Configuring VRFs and PNE Details for a Site in a Centralized Deployment
If you use a physical network element (PNE) for a centralized deployment, you can use the Device Configuration page to configure the virtual routing and forwarding instances for your customer sites if you have not done so in Contrail and in Junos OS on the MX Series router.
To configure a VRF and PNE details for a site:
- Click Sites.
The Sites page appears.
- Select the site name.
- Click More > Advanced Configuration.
The Device Configuration page appears.
- Complete the configuration according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
- Click OK.
