2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type

N/A
3. Associate a VPN instance
with the interface.
ip binding vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
No VPN instance is associated
with an interface by default.
NOTE:
The ip binding vpn-instance command clears the IPv6 address of the interface on which it is configured.
Be sure to re-configure an IPv6 address for the interface after configuring the command.
Configuring route attributes for a VPN instance
The MCE controls VPN route advertisement as follows:
• When a VPN route learned from a VPN site gets redistributed into BGP, BGP associates it with a
VPN target extended community attribute list, which is usually the export target attribute of the VPN
instance associated with the VPN site.
• The VPN instance determines which routes it can accept and redistribute according to the
import-extcommunity in the VPN target.
• The VPN instance determines how to change the VPN targets attributes for routes to be advertised
according to the export-extcommunity in the VPN target.
IMPORTANT:
Create a routing policy before associating it with a VPN instance. Otherwise, the device cannot filter the
routes to be received and advertised.
To configure route related attributes for a VPN instance:

1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter VPN instance view.
ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
N/A
3. Enter IPv6 VPN view.
ipv6-family Optional.
4. Configure VPN targets.
vpn-target vpn-target&<1-8>
[ both | export-extcommunity |
import-extcommunity ]
A single vpn-target command can
configure up to eight VPN targets.
You can configure up to 64 VPN
targets for a VPN instance.
5. Set the maximum number of
routes supported.
routing-table limit number
{ warn-threshold | simply-alert }
Optional.
Setting the maximum number of
routes for a VPN instance to
support is for preventing too many
routes from being redistributed into
the PE.
6. Apply an import routing
policy.
import route-policy route-policy
Optional.
By default, all routes matching the
import target attribute are
accepted.
