PE-CE communications:

Using an agreed to routing protocol,the CE requires no

special configuration other than the standard routing
protocol configuration.
The PE will provide the VRF aware version of the
routing protocol,to become a neighbor or peer of the
CE routers routing protocol.The PE will have separate
routing table and CEF table for each VRF.

Routing protocols for VRFs:

VRF aware routing protocols include:
Ebgp
Eigrp
Ospf
Ripv2
Isis
PE redistributes learned routes into MP-BGP where they
are now considered VPN routes.
OSPF creates a separate process for each VRF.The
other routing protocols are sub divided into several
instances of a single routing process.

Exports and imports:

It is dealing with into and out of BGP.It is always from
the perspective of VRF.
If we are sending routes out from VRF into BGP,it is
export.
If we are bringing routes from BGP into vrf,it is import.

Creating the VRF:

Include:
VRF name
Route distinguisher(RD)
Route target(RT) tag for export
 o Used when PE takes routes from this vrf and
places them into MP-BGP as vpnv4 routes
and provides an extended community
attribute on that route.
Route-target (RT) tag for import
o Used when the PE is deciding which vpnv4
routes to put into this vrf from MP-BGP
VRF names are case-sensitive.
Name is only locally significant.
We can able to assign an interface to only one VRF at a
time.But a single VRF can have multiple interfaces.
