11 MCE Configuration
About This Chapter
Generally, a Customer Edge (CE) can connect to only one Virtual Private Network (VPN). If
multiple VPNs need to be divided, multiple CEs are required. The Multi-VPN-Instance CE
(MCE) technology enables a CE to be connected to multiple VPNs. This isolates services
between different VPNs and reduces the investment on network devices.
11.1 MCE Overview
MCE isolates different services or users by using the route multi-instance on the CE.
11.2 MCE Functions Supported by the S6700
When the S6700 functions as an MCE, multiple routing protocols can be run between an MCE
and a PE, and between an MCE and a site, including static routes, the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP), the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate
System (IS-IS), and BGP.
11.3 Configuring a VPN Instance
This section describes how to configure a VPN instance.
11.4 Configuring a Route Multi-Instance Between an MCE and a Site
This section describes how to configure static routes, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP between an
MCE and a site.
11.5 Configuring a Route Multi-Instance Between an MCE and a PE
This section describes how to configure static routes, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP between an
MCE and a PE.
11.6 MCE Configuration Examples
This section provides several configuration examples of MCE.
