By establishing multiple tunnels between two MCE devices and binding the tunnel interfaces with VPN

instances, you can make the routing information and data of the VPN instances delivered to the peer

devices through the bound tunnel interfaces. According to the tunnel interfaces receiving the routes, an
MCE device determines the VPN instances that the routes belong to and advertises the routes to the

corresponding sites. As shown in

Figure 4

, you can bind Tunnel 1 with VPN 1 to make the MCE devices

deliver the routing information and data of VPN 1 through the tunnel.
An MCE can also be used in a tunneling application as shown in

Figure 5

to connect with multiple

remote CEs through tunnels. In this scenario, the CE devices only need to receive and advertise routes as

usual, while the MCE advertises and receives VPN routing information based on the bindings between
tunnel interfaces and VPNs.

NOTE:

MCE devices in a tunneling application can exchange VPN routing information with their peer MCE
devices or CE devices directly, just as MCE devices in an MPLS L3VPN application do with the

corresponding PEs. For more information, see “

Route exchange between an MCE and a PE

.”

GRE tunnel, IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel, and IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel support MCE.

For introduction and configuration of tunnel types, see

Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Configuring routing on an MCE

Interface-to-VPN-instance binding enables MCEs and PEs to determine the sources of received packets

and then forward the packets according to the routing information concerning the corresponding VPNs.

MCE routing configuration includes:

MCE-VPN site routing configuration

MCE-PE routing configuration

Route exchange between an MCE and a VPN site

An MCE can adopt the following routing protocols to exchange VPN routes with a site:

Static route

RIP

OSPF

IS-IS
