Configuring Route Related Attributes of a VPN Instance
The control process of VPN route advertisement is as follows:
•
When a VPN route learned from a CE 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 CE.
•

import-extcommunity in the VPN target.
•
The VPN instance determines how to change the VPN targets attributes for routes to be redistributed
according to the export-extcommunity in the VPN target.
