Full Mesh to Hub Spoke Connectivity

[maher]

I have implemented MPLS VPN. Currently running as a full mesh connectivity. I

need to implement and configure a hub and spoke connectivity due to the

business requirement.

I have 4 spokes and 1 hub. For each spokes, they shouldn't communicate

with spoke, only to hub and vice-versa.

What is the appropriate and best practise for me to implement and configuring for such scenario?

Appreciate your feedbacks and opinion.

The best method would be play with the RTs at all your sites if you want a Star network. or else you colud run full mesh MPLS and have IPSec from Hub to spoke.

ok keep all your config in as it is just now. The only issue (personal one I believe) is that you shall be using the same RD everywhere but that shouldnt matter. On your hub site add under the vrf something like Route-target export 99:1. On a your spoke sites add route-target export 99:2 then on the other spoke site route-target export 99:3 until you do them all to 99:x. Then go back to the hub site and do route-target import 99:2 all the way through to x. You can now remove your original route-targets and all shall be fine. A cleaner method would be to completely remove the vrf but thats prolly too much hassle and downtime for your liking :-)
