RIPv1 PE-CE Routing Configuration and Verification

Note

RIPv1 is not recommended for MPLS VPN networks and is demonstrated here only for learning purposes.


The topology to demonstrate RIPv1 PE-CE routing is shown in Figure 4-7.

CE1-A is running RIPv1 routing protocol. Because CE1-A is sending RIPv1 routes, the interface on PE1-AS1 connected to CE1-A is configured to receive and send RIPv1 routes. IP addressing for the CE networks adheres to classful addressing. RIPv2 PE-CE routing configuration is still used on PE2-AS1 because the MP-iBGP session between PE routers transports only RIPv2 routes. Example 4-26 shows the necessary steps to configure PE1-AS1 interface connected to CE1-A to send and receive RIPv1 routes.

Example 4-26. PE1-AS1 RIPv1 PE-CE Configuration
PE1-AS1(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0

PE1-AS1(config-if)# ip vrf forwarding VRF-RIP

PE1-AS1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

PE1-AS1(config-if)#ip rip send version 1

PE1-AS1(config-if)#ip rip receive version 1

PE1-AS1#show ip protocols vrf VRF-RIP

RIPv1 PE-CE Routing—PE1-AS1 and CE1-A Final Configuration

Configuration for PE2-AS1, P1-AS1, P2-AS2, and CE2-A remains the same as what was shown in the "RIPv2 PE-CE Routing—Provider Edge PE1-AS1 and PE2-AS1 Configuration" section. Example 4-27 shows the PE1-AS1 and CE1-A final configuration.

Verification of RIPv1 PE-CE Routing

The steps to verify RIPv1 PE-CE routing are as follows:

Step 1.
Verify VRF routing table on PE1-AS1 and PE2-AS1—Check the VRF routing table to see if routes to the CE networks are configured properly and remote routes from PE routers are received in the VRF.

Example 4-28 shows that PE1-AS1 has received routes from the PE2-AS1 router for the 172.16.20.0/24 network and has also received 172.16.10.0 network from CE1-A.

Example 4-28. Verification of VRF Routes on PE1-AS1 and PE2-AS1
PE1-AS1#show ip route vrf VRF-RIP

<output truncated for brevity>

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets

B       172.16.20.0 [200/1] via 10.10.10.102, 00:08:53

R       172.16.10.0 [120/1] via 172.16.1.2, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

C       172.16.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

B       172.16.2.0 [200/0] via 10.10.10.102, 00:06:07

______________________________________________________________________

PE2-AS1#show ip route vrf VRF-RIP

<output truncated for brevity>

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets

R       172.16.20.0 [120/1] via 172.16.2.2, 00:00:12, Ethernet1/0

B       172.16.10.0 [200/1] via 10.10.10.101, 00:08:23

B       172.16.1.0 [200/0] via 10.10.10.101, 00:13:38

C       172.16.2.0 is directly connected, Ethernet1/0

Step 2.
Verify RIP routes on CE routers CE1-A and CE2-A—Check the BGP VPNv4 routing table to see if routes are received properly. Example 4-29 shows that PE1-AS1 and PE2-AS1 routers see the routes from 172.16.20.0/24 and 172.16.10.0/24 in their RIP routing table.

Example 4-29. Verify Routes on CE1-A and CE2-A
CE2-A#show ip route

<output truncated for brevity>

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets

C       172.16.20.0 is directly connected, Loopback0

R       172.16.10.0 [120/2] via 172.16.2.1, 00:00:04, Ethernet0/0

R       172.16.1.0 [120/1] via 172.16.2.1, 00:00:04, Ethernet0/0

C       172.16.2.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0

CE1-A#show ip route

<output truncated for brevity>

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets

R       172.16.20.0 [120/2] via 172.16.1.1, 00:00:21, FastEthernet0/0

C       172.16.10.0 is directly connected, Loopback0

C       172.16.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

R       172.16.2.0 [120/1] via 172.16.1.1, 00:00:21, FastEthernet0/0

Step 3.
Verify end-to-end connectivity using ping—Verify end-to-end connectivity between the CE1-A and CE2-A by issuing a ping from CE1-A to network 172.16.20.0/24 on CE2-A and vice versa. Example 4-30 shows that the ping has been successful.

Example 4-30. Verify Reachability via Ping
CE1-A#ping 172.16.20.1 source 172.16.10.1

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.20.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with a source address of 172.16.10.1

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
