7• Configure the link layer and network layer protocols on related interfaces to ensure IP connectivity.Configuring routing between an MCE and a VPN siteConfiguring static routing between an MCE and a VPN siteAn MCE can reach a VPN site through a static route. Static routing on a traditional CE is globallyeffective and thus does not support address overlapping among VPNs. An MCE supports binding a staticroute with a VPN instance, so that the static routes of different VPN instances can be isolated from eachother.To configure a static route to a VPN site:Step Command Remarks1. Enter system view. system-view N/A2. Configure a static routefor a VPN instance.ip route-static vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-namedest-address { mask | mask-length } { next-hop-address[ public ] [ track track-entry-number ] | interface-typeinterface-number [ next-hop-address ] | vpn-instanced-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address [ tracktrack-entry-number ] } [ permanent ] [ preferencepreference-value ] [ tag tag-value ] [ descriptiondescription-text ]By default, no staticroute is configured.Perform thisconfiguration on theMCE. On the VPNsite, configure anormal static route.3. (Optional.) Configurethe default preferencefor static routes.ip route-static default-preferencedefault-preference-valueThe default setting is60.Configuring RIP between an MCE and a VPN siteA RIP process belongs to the public network or a single VPN instance. If you create a RIP process withoutbinding it to a VPN instance, the process belongs to the public network. Binding RIP processes to VPNinstances can isolate routes of different VPNs.To configure RIP between an MCE and a VPN site:Step Command Remarks1. Enter system view. system-view N/A2. Create a RIP process for aVPN instance and enter RIPview.rip [ process-id ] vpn-instancevpn-instance-namePerform this configuration on theMCE. On the VPN site, create anormal RIP process.3. Enable RIP on the interfaceattached to the specifiednetwork.network network-address By default, RIP is disabled on aninterface.4. Redistribute remote site routesadvertised by the PE.import-route protocol [ process-id ][ allow-ibgp ] [ cost cost |route-policy route-policy-name |tag tag ] *By default, no route is redistributedinto RIP.5. (Optional.) Configure thedefault cost value for theredistributed routes.default cost value If you do not specify a default costvalue, the default cost value is 0.
