Re: Multi-VRF CE

Hi,

I just wanted to know if it is possible to implement a Multi-VRF CE with the ff platforms:

SITE-A

Multi-VRF CE (C2811) using VWIC-1-MFT-G703

SITE-B

P.E. (C7206VXR) using PA-MC-8TE1

The two sites above(SITE-A to SITE-B)are linked via E1 connection.

I would appreciate it very much if someone can help me if this configuration is doable. Thanks to you...

Best regards,

GSM

It shouldn't be a problem as both of these platforms support multi-vrf (aka vrf-lite).

Hope this helps,

hi,

could you further confirm what type of encapsulation we should use on the serial sub-interfaces since we can not use an ATM between these two sites?

our plan is to configure two VRFs (VPN-A and VPN-B) bet the two routers (PE and Multi-VRF CE). so, we will create two sub-interfaces? please confirm.

thanks in advance.

Since both the platforms support VRF lite and MPLS VPN, you can use Frame-Relay as the encapsulation for sub interfaces with local DLCI switching.

As the VRF configuration is not media dependent.
