Arista MPLS VPN Step by Step (1b) MPLS L3VPN PE/CE Static

In this blog, I will discuss the PE/CE routing option - static. Here is the simplified topology

The configuration is quite simple. 

router bgp 65001
   router-id 88.255.11.11
   neighbor vpnv4-rr peer-group
   neighbor vpnv4-rr remote-as 65001
   neighbor vpnv4-rr update-source Loopback88
   neighbor vpnv4-rr send-community standard extended
   neighbor vpnv4-rr maximum-routes 12000 
   neighbor 88.255.1.1 peer-group vpnv4-rr
   neighbor 88.255.2.2 peer-group vpnv4-rr
   !
   address-family vpn-ipv4
      neighbor vpnv4-rr activate
      neighbor default encapsulation mpls next-hop-self source-interface Loopback88
   !
....
   vrf pe1-static
      !! pe/ce: static, intf:vlan101+lo101, addr:100.1.11.0/24+100.1.100.0/32
      rd 100:1
      !
      ! PE1 ex/import 100:1, and import PE2's 200:1 
      !
      route-target import vpn-ipv4 100:1
      route-target import vpn-ipv4 200:1
      route-target export vpn-ipv4 100:1
      maximum-paths 2 ecmp 2
      redistribute connected
      redistribute static

So on PE1, we can 6 vpn-ipv4 routes (doubled by 2 RRs)

PE1(config)#sh bgp vpn-ipv4 rd 200:1

BGP routing table information for VRF default

Router identifier 88.255.11.11, local AS number 65001

Route status codes: s - suppressed, * - valid, > - active, # - not installed, E - ECMP head, e - ECMP

                    S - Stale, c - Contributing to ECMP, b - backup

                    % - Pending BGP convergence

Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

AS Path Attributes: Or-ID - Originator ID, C-LST - Cluster List, LL Nexthop - Link Local Nexthop
