5.16.2.49 route-target
Table 174 route-target command
Description This command binds the advertisements received with the route target (RT) that matches the 
configured list (either the generic or the specified import) to a specific pw-template. If the RT list 
is not present, the pw-template is used for all of them.
The pw-template-binding applies to both BGP-AD and BGP-VPLS if these features are enabled 
in the VPLS.
For BGP VPLS, the following rules govern the use of PW-template:
• On transmission, the settings for the L2-Info extended community in the BGP Update are 
derived from the PW-template attributes. If multiple pw-templates (with or without import-rt) 
are specified for the same VPLS instance, the first pw-template entry will be used.
• On reception, the values of the parameters in te L2-Info extended community of the BGP 
Update are compared with the settings from the corresponding pw-template. The following 
steps are used to determine the local pw-template:
• The RT values are matched to determine the pw-template.
• If multiple pw-template matches are found from the previous steps, the first configured 
pwtemplate entry will be considered.
• If the values used for Layer 2 MTU or C Flag do not match the PW, setup fails.
The tools perform commands can be used to control the application of changes in pw-template 
for both BGP-AD and BGP-VPLS.
The no form of the command removes the values from the configuration.
Default none
Parameters policy-id — Specifies an existing policy ID.
split-horizon-group group-name — The specified group-name overrides the split horizon group 
template settings.

Description This command configures the route target (RT) component that will be signaled in the related 
MPBGP attribute to be used for BGP auto-discovery, BGP VPLS, and BGP Multi-Homing if 
these features are configured in this VPLS service.
If this command is not used, the RT is built automatically using the VPLS ID. The ext-comm 
can have the same two formats as the VPLS ID: a two-octet AS-specific extended community 
and an IPv4 specific extended community.
The following rules apply:
• If BGP AD VPLS-id is configured and no RT is configured under BGP node, RT=VPLS-ID
• If BGP AD VPLS-id is not configured, an RT value must be configured under BGP node 
(this is the case when only BGP VPLS is configured).
• If BGP AD VPLS-id is configured and an RT value is also configured under BGP node, the 
configured RT value prevails.
