Configuring a VPRN interface

Interface names associate an IP address to the interface, and then associate the IP interface with a physical port. The logical interface can associate attributes like an IP address, port, Link Aggregation Group (LAG) or the system.

There are no default interfaces.

Note that you can configure a VPRN interface as a loopback interface by issuing the loopback command instead of the sap sap-id command. The loopback flag cannot be set on an interface where a SAP is already defined and a SAP cannot be defined on a loopback interface.

When using mtrace/mstat in a Layer 3 VPN context then the configuration for the VPRN should have a loopback address configured which has the same address as the core instance's system address (BGP next-hop).

See OSPF configuration commands (IPv4 only) for CLI commands and syntax.
