PE-to-CE Connectivity?OSPF Without Site Area 0 Support

The second OSPF connectivity option is to place the PE-to-CE link into a non-backbone area. In this case, the PE-router acts as an ABR (and an ASBR) for the customer site, and forms an adjacency with the CE-router so that it can exchange LSAs. An illustration of this connectivity option can be seen in Figure 10-7.

Figure 10-7 shows that the FastFoods San Jose CE-router has an adjacency with the SuperCom San Jose PE-router in OSPF area 1. The Type-1 LSA describing the 195.12.2.1/32 prefix is received by the SuperCom San Jose PE-router and is placed into the FastFoods VRF. This LSA can be seen in Example 10-12.

This route is then redistributed into MP-iBGP and is advertised across the MPLS/VPN backbone as an intra-area route. This is highlighted by the OSPF route type of 1:2:0 shown in Example 10-13, where the 1 signifies that the route belongs to OSPF area 1, and the 2 signifies that the route type is intra-area.

When the route is received by the SuperCom Paris PE-router and is imported into the FastFoods VRF, a summary LSA for the route is advertised into the FastFoods site in Lyon. This summary LSA can be seen in Example 10-14.
