Layer 3 VPN Platform Support
Layer 3 VPNs are supported on most combinations of Juniper Networks routing and switching platforms and PICs capable of running the JUNOS Software.
MX Series routers configured to be in Ethernet services mode
can support some of the Junos OS Layer 3 VPN features. For Layer 3
VPNs, Ethernet services mode supports configuring a loopback interface
for a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. You can configure
up to two VRF instances in Ethernet services mode. Each VRF instance
can handle up to 10,000 routes. The ping mpls l3vpn
operational mode command is also
supported.
