RE: RFC2547 VPN discussion group? (With an inter-AS VPN question )

["Yu Ning" <yuning () ns chinanet cn net>]

Hi nanog,

I've solved the problem mentioned in my former letter. I'm too over-worked
and forget to add "next-hop-self" in the PE1 to PE2 MP-iBGP peer, so no
PE can reach PE1 in other AS, unless the directly connected one. But Cisco
MPLS VPN command seems not very friendly,:-) After add the "next-hop-self"
in the VPNV4 section, the MP-iBGP peer won't refresh itself, and I have 
no command to clear the VPNV4 peer, then I have to delete the config
and paste it again to trigger the new update.  I hope the "clear ip b n
vrf xxx.xxx " can be added into IOS soon,:-)

regards,
