route-distinguisher-id

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

The automatic Route-Distinguisher feature uses the route-distinguisher-id command to create a Type 1 Route-Distinguisher to the routing instance, based on RFC 4364, BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

The 4-octet Administrator subfield of the Route-Distinguisher uses the IP address that is configured as the route-distinguisher-id, which is common for all routing instances in the local system. Additionally, the system assigns an autogenerated 2-octet number as the Assigned Number subfield that is unique per the routing instances.

If you configure the route-distinguisher statement in addition to the route-distinguisher-id statement, the value configured for route-distinguisher supersedes the value generated from route-distinguisher-id.

Note:

To avoid a conflict between the configured and auto-generated route distinguisher values, you must ensure that the first half (IP address) of the route-distinguisher obtained by configuring the route-distinguisher statement is different from the IP-address configured in the route-distinguisher-id statement.
