Specifying Connectivity Information When Signaling Is BGP
To specify connectivity between sites across the network when signaling is BGP, fill in the fields in the Connectivity window:
- When the signaling type is BGP, fill in the fields in
the Connectivity window.
- Route Distinguisher—Identifier attached
to a route, enabling you to distinguish to which VPN the route belongs.
Each routing instance must have a unique route distinguisher associated
with it.
Note: The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you use must be valid addresses. Refer to http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space for the list of restricted IPv4 addresses and http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space for the list of restricted IPv6 addresses.
- Route Target—Allows you to distribute
VPN routes to only the routers that need them.
Note: The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you use must be valid addresses. Refer to http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space for the list of restricted IPv4 addresses and http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space for the list of restricted IPv6 addresses.
- Default MTU (Bytes)—The default MTU established by the system.
- MTU range (Bytes)—Specify the range, in bytes, for the MTU.
- VLAN normalization—The options available
in the VLAN normalization field are based on the value
set for the Ethernet interface. The following table presents the options.
