MPLS VPN MVRFCE PE-CE Link Overview

This section contains the following sections:

•Network Topology

•Prerequisite Tasks

•Infrastructure Data

To provision an MPLS VPN service in ISC, you must first create an MPLS VPN Service Policy. In ISC, a Service Policy is a set of default configurations for creating and deploying a Service Request.

ISC supports two MPLS VPN Service Policy Types: Regular PE-CE an MVRFCE PE-CE. The following scenarios focus on the MVRFCE PE-CE Policy Type.

An MVRFCE PE-CE Policy Type is a PE to CE link with three devices:

•PE

•Multi-VRF CE

•CE

This Policy Type has two options:

•CE Present enabled (One PE with one MVRFCE and one CE; three devices)

•CE Present disabled (One PE with one MVRFCE; two devices)

Figure 8-1 shows an example of an MVRFCE PE-CE link with three devices.

Figure 8-1 MVRFCE PE-CE Link

In an MVRFCE PE-CE link with CE Present enabled, interfaces FE 0/0, E 0/1, E 0/2 and FE 0/1 are configured as an MPLS VPN link in the Service Request process.

Figure 8-2 shows an example of a PE to MVRFCE link with no CE.

Figure 8-2 MVRFCE PE-CE Link with No CE

In an MVRFCE PE-CE link with CE Present disabled, interfaces FE 0/0, E 0/1, and E 0/2 are configured as an MPLS VPN link in the Service Request process.

Network Topology

Figure 8-3 shows an overview of the network topology in which the MPLS VPN MVRFCE PE-CE links are created.

Figure 8-3 Network Topology for MPLS VPN MVRFCE PE-CE Scenarios

The network topology in Figure 8-3 illustrates the lab environment of a service provider (Provider-X) and one customer (Cust-A). There is one Region (West-X) and one PE (mlpe2.cisco.com). Each customer device (one MVRFCE and one CE) represents a Site (mlce3-Site and mlce4-Site).

Prerequisite Tasks

Before you can create a Service Policy in ISC, you must complete the following Inventory Management tasks:

Step 1 Set up a Customer with a Site.

Step 2 Setup a Provider with a Region.

Step 3 Import, create, or discover Devices.

Step 4 Create CPE and PE.

Step 5 Collect Configurations.

Step 6 Create Resource Pools and CE routing communities (CERC).

Step 7 Define a VPN.

–See: Defining a VPN for the MVRFCE PE-CE Link

Defining a VPN for the MVRFCE PE-CE Link

During service deployment, ISC generates the Cisco IOS commands to configure the logical VPN relationships.

At the beginning of the provisioning process, before creating a Service Policy, a VPN must be defined within ISC. The first element in a VPN definition is the name of the VPN.

To create a VPN Name, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to ISC.

Step 2 Go to Service Inventory > Inventory and Connection Manager > VPNs.

The VPN window appears, as shown in Figure 8-4.
