Example: Configuring PE-to-CE BGP Sessions

If you have established a BGP session between a PE and a particular CE router, you can configure BGP sessions with all the other customer sites within the VPN so that they can learn the routes to the particular CE router.

Configuring the PE-to-CE external BGP session is a bit different from the usual external BGP session. You must configure the session in the context of the IPV4 unicast address family of the VRF. Consider the topology shown in Figure 1.

You configure the characteristics of VRF A, the global BGP attributes, the address family for the session, and BGP attributes relevant to the VRF or address family.

See the Configuring BGP Routing chapter of JunosE BGP and MPLS Configuration Guide, for more information about configuring BGP.
