Example: Configuring Basic EVPN Active-Active Multihoming
This example shows how to configure an active-active multihomed customer edge (CE) devices and provider edge (PE) devices in an Ethernet VPN (EVPN).
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Four MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platforms with MPC interfaces only, where:
Two devices are configured as provider edge (PE) routers connected to a common multihomed customer site.
One device is configured as a remote PE router connected to a single-homed customer site.
One device is configured as a provider router.
• Two customer edge (CE) devices, where:
Two CE devices that are multihomed.
One CE devices that is single-homed .
Before you begin:
Configure the router interfaces.
Configure OSPF or any other IGP protocol.
Configure a BGP internal group.
Configure MPLS.
Overview
Figure 1 illustrates a simple EVPN topology. Routers PE1 and PE2 are provider edge (PE) routers connected to multihomed customer edge (CE) router CE1. Router P is the provider router connected to Routers PE1, PE2, and PE3. Router PE3 is connected to customer edge router CE2.
