  • Different routing protocols could be used between PE & CE.
  • The PE-CE routing protocols run independently at every site.
  • Redistribution of prefixes between MP-BGP routes PE-CE routing protocol.
  • when using rip:
    • when redistribute the MP-BGP routes into RIP. use
      • redistribute bgp N metric metric {X|transperent}
        • here N is AS number.
        • X is the metric assigned to the RIP routes.
      • if you are using the keyword transperent the rip metric will be recovered from RIP metric learned at the remote site.
