Step 2 Run:
ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
A VPN instance is created, and the VPN instance view is displayed.

VPN instances.
No default VPN instance exists on a PE, and multiple VPN instances can be created on the PE.
Step 3 Run:
route-distinguisher route-distinguisher
The RD of the VPN instance is configured.
A VPN instance takes effect only after the RD is configured. The RDs of the VPN instances on
the same PE must be different from each other.
Before the RD is configured, no other parameters can be configured except for the VPN instance
description.
NOTE
An RD cannot be changed or deleted once it is configured. To change an RD, first, delete the VPN instance,
and then re-configure a VPN instance and an RD. To delete the RD, you only need to delete the VPN
instance.
Step 4 (Optional) Run:
description description-information
The description of the VPN instance is configured.
The description of a VPN instance functions the same as the description of a host name or an
interface. It is recommended that the proper description be configured.
