BGP Advertising Rules for Labeled and Unlabeled Routes with the Same AFI
When BGP receives a route to a prefix with the same AFI in both labeled and unlabeled
forms, only one of these routes can be selected as the best route. The action taken
after the best route is selected depends on whether the best route is labeled or
unlabeled, and on what SAFI was previously negotiated with peers other than the
one from which it received the best route. Table 65 on page 461 lists the advertising
action taken for the best route, whether labeled or unlabeled.

BGP sends a route-refresh message for each SAFI that it has negotiated with a peer.
For example, if a speaker has negotiated both SAFI 1 and SAFI 4 with a particular
peer, then when you issue the clear ip bgp neighbor soft-in command, BGP sends
two route-refresh messages to this neighbor, one for each SAFI.
Providing Internet Access to and from VPNs
Normally, hosts in a VPN cannot communicate with hosts in the Internet because
the routing table in a VRF contains only routes to sites in the VPN and not routes to
sites in the Internet. The exchange of traffic between a VPN and the Internet requires
both of the following:
â– Traffic flow from the VPN to the Internet
â– Traffic flow from the Internet to the VPN
The most common, and simplest, method for providing Internet access is to configure
two separate logical circuits. One logical circuit runs between the CE router and the
