Configuration Tasks for RA to MPLS VPN
Configuring DHCP Option 82 for RBE 
To configure DHCP Option 82 support for RBE connections, enter the following commands beginning 
in global configuration mode:
Example 3-7 enables DHCP option 82 support on the DHCP relay agent by using the ip dhcp relay 
information option command. The rbe nasip command configures the router to forward the IP address 
for Loopback0 to the DHCP server. The value (in hexadecimal) of the agent remote ID suboption is 
010100000B0101814058320 and the value of each field is the following:
  • Port Type: 0x01
  • Version: 0x01
Step 7
Router(config-router-af)# redistribute 
protocol
Redistributes routes from one routing domain into another 
routing domain.
The protocol argument is the source protocol from which 
routes are being redistributed. It can be one of the following 
keywords: bgp, connected, egp, igrp, isis, ospf, static [ip], 
or rip.
The connected keyword refers to routes that are established 
automatically by virtue of having enabled IP on an interface.
Step 8
Router(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
Exits address family configuration mode.
Step 9
Router(config-router)# address-family vpnv4 
[unicast]
Enters address family configuration mode for configuring 
BGP routing sessions that use standard Virtual Private 
Network (VPN) Version 4 address prefixes.
(Optional) The unicast keyword specifies VPN Version 4 
unicast address prefixes.
Step 10
Router(config-router-af)# neighbor {ip-address 
| peer-group-name} activate
Activates route exchanges with the global BGP neighbors.
Step 11
Router(config-router-af)# neighbor {ip-address 
| peer-group-name} send-community [both]
Specifies that a community attribute should be sent to a BGP 
neighbor.
The both keyword specifies that both community attributes 
should be sent.
Step 12
Router(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
Exits address family configuration mode.
Step 13
Router(config-router)# exit
Exits router configuration mode.
Step 14
Router(config)# interface atm 
slot/port.subinterface-number point-to-point
Creates a point-to-point ATM subinterface. Enters 
subinterface configuration mode.
Step 15
Router(config-subif)# atm route-bridged ip
Enables RBE on the subinterface.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ip dhcp relay information 
option 
Enables the system to insert the DHCP relay agent 
information option in VPN suboptions.
Step 2
Router(config)# rbe nasip source_interface
Specifies the IP address of an interface on the DHCP relay 
agent. This is the interface address that is sent to the DHCP 
server in the agent remote ID suboption.
