dlsw and vrf

[rabeder]

hi to all,

i have a ce router connected to a pe router.

the interface to the ce is connected in a vrf.

on the pe router, there are different ce´s connected to different vrf´s.

the problem is that the pe router is also a dlsw-peer to the different ce-routers.

dlsw is a global prozeß - right.

how can i tell the pe router´s dlsw prozeß how to find the different dlsw-peers from the ce´s which are in different vrf´s ?

and on the other hand how can i tell the pe router if there is a paket from a vrf interface which should go to the routers global dlsw prozeß ?

thanks for answer

Configure VRF on the PE devices. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived CEF table, and a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table. There can be multiple VRFs on the same PE device. Sites that have identical routing requirements and are connected to the same PE router can use the same VRF. Each VRF should be configured with the Route Distinguisher (RD) and Route Target (RT) parameters.

hi thanks for answer,

but:

i know what mpls is and how it works.

the problem is, how can i make a connection from a vrf-interface to the global dlsw-prozess and vize versa.

or is it possible to define a dlsw local-peer as vrf aware ??

How can i tell the pe router´s dlsw process how to find the different dlsw-peers from the ce´s which are in different vrf´s ?

You have to leak these routes into/out of VRF.

Hope it answers your question.
