A Virtual Private Routed Network (VPRN) service allows service providers to use their IP backbone to
provide a Layer 3 VPN service to their customers. VPRNs are also known as BGP/MPLS VPNs because
BGP is used to distribute VPN routing information across the provider's backbone and MPLS is used
to forward VPN traffic from one VPN site to another.
 From the customers perspective it looks as if all sites are connected to a routed domain
 Service provider can reuse the IP/MPLS infrastructure to offer multiple services
 Each VPRN appears like an additional routing instance, routes for a service between the various
PEs are exchanged using MP-BGP
 Customer data is encapsulated using MPLS or GRE encapsulation

Each CE router becomes a peer of the PE router that it is directly connected to, not a peer to the
other CE routers. A CE router provides the PE router with route information for the private
customer network. Each associated PE router maintains a separate IP forwarding table for each
VPRN. Additionally, the PE routers exchange the routing information configured or learned from
all customer sites via MP-BGP peering. Each route exchanged via the MP-BGP protocol includes a
Route Distinguisher (RD), which makes the router unique and a Route Target, which identifies the
VPRN association.
MPLS handles the forwarding between the PE routers. This means that the routers in the core of the
network need not know about the routes connecting the private networks. A VPRN service uses a
two-level label stack the ingress PE router pushes both an inner VC label and an outer tunnel
label onto a packet. After reaching the egress PE router via one or more MPLS Label Switched
Paths (LSPs), the PE router pops the MPLS headers and delivers a normal IP packet to the
customer.

In a Virtual Private Routed Network (VPRN) the service provider network distributes its customers routing
information using MP-BGP and forwards their data packets using MPLS or GRE tunnels.
The routers in the service providers network perform one of two possible roles:
 Provider (P) routers in the core. These routers simply support the switching of LSPs. They do not have any
knowledge of the existence of the VPRNs.
 Provider Edge (PE) routers at the edge of the service providers network. These devices provide the MPLS
signaling and forwarding and partitioned IP routing and forwarding capabilities to partition customer data
flows received from or destined to the various customer sites.
The routers in the customers network which connect to the PEs are known as CE (Customer Edge) devices and
are simple IP routers that forward and receive IP packets and distribute routing information using standard
IP routing protocols or configured static routes and
are VPRN unaware. The architecture of the VPRN service is shown on the above diagram.

The components of a VPRN VPN are:


1. MP-BGP sessions between PEs to distribute customer routes across the service providers backbone.
2. Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) tables on PEs specifying the import and export rules for customer
routes advertised between PEs.
3. Configured or learned VPRN routes from the customer sites.
4. MPLS or GRE tunnels between PEs for transporting customers traffic across the service providers
backbone.

VPRN Functions

Learning
SwitchRoutes from
to notes Local CEs
view!
A PE learns the routes from a CE through static routes or a dynamic routing protocol such as BGP. Locally
reachable IPv4 addresses as well as remote routes learned from other PEs are stored in the appropriate VRF.

Distributing Routes
The PEs establish MP-BGP sessions with each other to distribute the routes they have learned from locally
connected CEs. The PEs maintain one or more VRF for each VPRN it is involved with, depending on the VPN
topology (mesh or hub and spoke, intranet or extranet).

Ensuring Unique Customer Routes


Because different customers may use the same IP addresses within their respective networks, a method is
need to ensure that they remain unique when they are distributed across the service provider network. This
is achieved by pre-pending the 4-byte IPv4 address with an 8-byte Route Distinguisher to form a new
address called the VPN-IPv4 address. A distinct RD value can be associated with individual routes or with
all routes learned from a particular CE.

Populating Routes Into VRFs


When a PE receives routes from another PE via their MP-BGP session it adds the learned routes into the
appropriate VRFs based on the route targets configured in each VRF, and contained in the route
advertisement. An export route target is included in the route advertisement. If it matches the import
route target configured in a VRF, those routes are populated into the VRF.

Forwarding Data Among Customer Sites

5620 SAM 5620 SAM (Service Aware Manager) R7.0 Operator


The PEs forward customer traffic across the service providers network via GRE or LSP tunnels (outer label).
LSPs can be established using LDP or RSVP-TE signaling.

When the destination PE receives a data packet it determines the appropriate VRF to use to forward the
packet onward to the correct CE based on the inner label associated to a given VRF. The inner label is
allocated by the local PE and advertised to the peer PE as part of a VPN-IPv4 route update.

the same VPRN service to transport a customers VPN traffic from one site to another.
The tunnel is created either through the configuration of a SDP or using the auto-bind option when creating a
VPRN service instance. For VPRN services, SDP tunnels can be created using MPLS with RSVP-TE or GRE
encapsulation. The auto-bind method for creating tunnels can be used with LDP or GRE.
If SDP tunnels are used, they must be created prior to the creation of the VPRN services. The configuration of
a SDP includes specifying the far-end PE and the type of encapsulation used, GRE or MPLS with RSVP-TE.
When RSVP-TE signaling is used, the outer LSP tunnels must be explicitly configured in addition to the
creation of the SDPs. When the outer tunnels are created using auto-bind with LDP there is no need to
explicitly configure the LSP tunnels. It is only necessary to enable LDP signaling on the appropriate
interfaces and once the MP-BGP sessions have been established, the LSP is automatically established.
Similarly, outer tunnels created using auto-bind with GRE do not require any preliminary configuration the
VPRN service only needs to be auto-bound to GRE.
When the auto-bind option is used traffic from all VPRN services (configured with the auto-bind option)
traverse the same LSPs. In this case it is not possible to have alternate tunneling mechanisms (like GRE) or
the ability to configure sets of LSP's with bandwidth reservations for specific customers as is available with
explicit SDPs for the service. If LSPs with reserved bandwidth are needed then SDPs with RSVP-TE signaling
should be used for the outer tunnels.
If distinct tunnels per VPRN service are desired, then SDPs with GRE or RSVP-TE signaling should be used so
that VPRN instances can be explicitly bound to specific SDPs.

PE to CE Route Distribution

Static Routes
Switch to notes view!
All routes to be advertised by the CE to other CEs belonging to the VPRN are configured as static routes in the
VPRN service instance.

eBGP Routing
eBGP is configured between the PE and each attached CE belonging to the same VPRN in the VPRN service
instance.
The explicit configuration of the autonomous system number and router-id is optional. If omitted, these
values simply inherit the routers global AS number and router-id. The local address is also an optional
parameter. When it is not specified, it inherits the system IP address when communicating with IBGP peers
and the interface address for directly connected eBGP peers.
If no import route policy is specified, then all BGP routes advertised by the CE are accepted by the PE.
An export policy is needed for the PE to advertise the routes learned from other PE sites in the VPRN instance
via MP-BGP to the CE router via eBGP.

RIP Routing
When RIP is used as the PE-CE routing protocol, a RIP instance must be enabled on the PE router in the router
context. Subsequently RIP can be configured on the PE-CE interface during the configuration of the VPRN
service. RIP is configured between the PE and each attached CE belonging to the same VPN in the VPRN
service

export policy to enable MP-BGP routes learned from remote CEs belonging to the VPN, to be redistributed
into RIP and to the local CE.

OSPF Routing
As of R4.0 of the 7X50 routers, OSPF can be used at the PE-CE routing protocol. This provides a way for a
network to continue using a single protocol as it is migrated to an IP-VPN backbone.
OSPF LSA information is not transmitted natively across the IP-VPN. The OSPF routes are imported into MP-
BGP as AS externals. As a result, other OSPF-attached VPRN sites on remote PEs will receive these via type
5 LSA. This process is not automatic and requires the configuration of (existing) Route Policies.
Stub areas, OSPF-TE and sham links are not currently supported.

IP Address Assignment
 Select the Address tab. Click Add. Configure an address on the interface of the specific router.

Note: Unlike IES, it does not matter if customer address spaces overlap on each VPRN service as
the route distinguisher keeps them unique.
 In the IP Address window, type in the IP Address and Prefix Length, and click OK, OK, OK, OK.
 Repeat all of the previous steps, starting with assigning a Name and Description for the other
site(s) participating in the service. In this example, the other site is node 146.
