Typical HoPE Configuration

Typical HoPE Configuration

[Requirements]

RT2 is the SPE, and RT3 is the UPE. The SPE only needs to advertise one default route to the UPE.

There is only one default route advertised by RT2.

[Tip]

1. The configuration of HoPE is similar to that of MPLS except the SPE part (in red).

  peer 3.3.3.3 upe        /Configure 3.3.3.3 as the UPE of HoPE/

peer 3.3.3.3 default-route-advertise vpn-instance vpna              /Advertise the default route to vpna of the UPE/

peer 3.3.3.3 default-route-advertise vpn-instance vpnb              /Advertise the default route to vpnb of the UPE/

 

2. The configuration on the UPE is completely the same as the common MPLS configuration.

3. The SPE is featured by large-capacity route table, powerful forwarding performance, but limited interface resources; the route capacity and forwarding performance of the UPE are inferior to those of the SPE, but it is of strong access capability.
