Hi Guys;
I have a situation where we have a Managed CE device called M-CE. M-CE is talking bgp with the customer premise equipmet called CE.
I have a VRF for the customer on M-CE. This vrf is called VRF-A. My M-CE device talks to 2 PE devices. These PE's are PE1 and PE2. I have the same VRF (VRF-A as on M-CE) for this customer on PE1 and PE2.
I am confused about configuring bgp between M-CE and PE-1 and PE-2 to distribute routes in VRF-A on M-CE to PE-1 and PE-2 having the same VRF (VRF-A). Specifically, I wish to know how would the address families work in this case.
Following is the configuration i have thus far on M-CE:
router bgp 65001
bgp log-neighbor-changes
timers bgp 15 45
neighbor 10.10.10.69 remote-as 65002 #PE1
neighbor 10.10.10.69 password 7 03307E27333C036B7E
neighbor 10.10.10.70 remote-as 65002 #PE2
neighbor 10.10.10.70 password 7 046F2E2A3A126E6939
!
address-family ipv4
no bgp nexthop trigger enable
network 0.0.0.0

neighbor 10.10.10.69 soft-reconfiguration inbound
neighbor 10.10.10.70 activate
neighbor 10.10.10.70 advertisement-interval 5
neighbor 10.10.10.70 soft-reconfiguration inbound

address-family ipv4 vrf VRF-A
network 9.9.9.9 mask 255.255.255.255 #M-CE loop back
neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 65003
neighbor 192.168.1.2 activate
neighbor 192.168.1.2 advertisement-interval 5
exit-address-family
!
As you can see the routes from CE would come into my VRF-A on M-CE. M-CE has bgp peering with PE-1 and PE-2. How would these VRF-A routes get imported into VRF-A on PE-1 and PE-2?
Help would be greatly appreciated as always!
