In the simplest case, all users in a VPN form a closed user group. They can forward traffic to each other
but cannot communicate with any user outside the VPN.
For this networking scheme, the basic VPN networking scheme, you need to assign a VPN target to each
VPN for identifying the export target attribute and import target attribute of the VPN. Moreover, the VPN
target assigned to a VPN cannot be used by any other VPNs.
Figure 2 Network diagram for basic VPN networking scheme
In
Figure 2 , for example, the VPN target for VPN 1 is 100:1 on the PEs, while that for VPN 2 is 200:1. The
two VPN 1 sites can communicate with each other, and the two VPN 2 sites can communicate with each
other. However, the VPN 1 sites cannot communicate with the VPN 2 sites.
Hub and spoke networking scheme
For a VPN where a central access control device is required and all users must communicate with each
other through the access control device, the hub and spoke networking scheme can be used to implement
the monitoring and filtering of user communications.
This networking scheme requires two VPN targets: one for the "hub" and the other for the "spoke".
The VPN target setting rules for VPN instances of all sites on PEs are as follows:
• On spoke PEs (that is, the PEs connected with spoke sites), set the export target attribute to Spoke
and the import target attribute to Hub.
• On the hub PE (that is, the PE connected to the hub site), specify two interfaces or sub-interfaces,
one for receiving routes from spoke PEs, and the other for advertising routes to spoke PEs. Set the
import target attribute of the VPN instance for the former to Spoke, and the export target attribute
of the VPN instance for the latter to Hub.
