Distributing Routes Between PE Routers

The OSPF routes in the VRF forwarding table are OSPF IPv4 routes, but BGP/MPLS VPNs distribute VPN-IPv4 routes by means of MP-BGP. You must configure the VRF to redistribute the OSPF routes into MP-BGP. MP-BGP converts each imported OSPF route to a VPN-IPv4 route, applies export policy to the route, and then propagates the route to a remote PE site by means of the MPLS/VPN backbone. At the destination PE router, MP-BGP places each route in the appropriate VRF forwarding table based on the import policy for each VRF and the route target associated with the route.
