Prepare to Offer VPN Services to Customers via MP-BGP EVPN Control-Plane

1. BGP Autonomous System 100 is leveraged by the Service Provider.

   Question

   Do all nodes within the Service Provider need to run BGP? Why, or why not?

2. Enable BGP EVPN peering within the service provider:

   • BGP Router-ID should be Loopback0 with a 32-bit value.
   • Loopback0 IP address should be used for all BGP peerings.
   • All PE nodes must be capable of advertising and receiving reachability information to/from all other PE nodes.
   • A full mesh of peerings must not be used to accomplish this task.
   • EOS8 should act as the peering point for all PE nodes.
   • Disable any unnecessary BGP AFI/SAFI peerings.
   • Use MPLS as the data-plane encapsulation / VPN label distribution.
