4. Configure a sham link:
# Configure PE 1.
[PE1] interface loopback 1
[PE1-LoopBack1] ip binding vpn-instance vpn1
[PE1-LoopBack1] ip address 3.3.3.3 32
[PE1-LoopBack1] quit
[PE1] ospf 100
[PE1-ospf-100] area 1
[PE1-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.1] sham-link 3.3.3.3 5.5.5.5 cost 10
[PE1-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.1] quit
[PE1-ospf-100] quit
# Configure PE 2.
[PE2] interface loopback 1
[PE2-LoopBack1] ip binding vpn-instance vpn1
[PE2-LoopBack1] ip address 5.5.5.5 32
[PE2-LoopBack1] quit
[PE2] ospf 100
[PE2-ospf-100] area 1
[PE2-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.1] sham-link 5.5.5.5 3.3.3.3 cost 10
[PE2-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.1] quit
[PE2-ospf-100] quit
After completing the configurations, execute the display ip routing-table vpn-instance command
again on the PEs, you can see that the path to the peer CE is now along the BGP route across the
backbone, and that a route to the sham link destination address is present. Take PE 1 as an
example:
[PE1] display ip routing-table vpn-instance vpn1
Routing Tables: vpn1
Destinations : 6 Routes : 6
Destination/Mask Proto Pre Cost NextHop Interface
3.3.3.3/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
5.5.5.5/32 BGP 255 0 2.2.2.9 NULL0
20.1.1.0/24 OSPF 10 1563 100.1.1.1 GE2/1/1
100.1.1.0/24 Direct 0 0 100.1.1.2 GE2/1/1
100.1.1.2/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
120.1.1.0/24 BGP 255 0 2.2.2.9 NULL0
Execute the display ip routing-table command on the CEs, and you can see that the cost of the
OSPF route to the peer CE is now 10 (the cost configured for the sham link), and that the next hop
is now the Ethernet interface connected to the PE. This means that VPN traffic to the peer is
forwarded over the backbone. Take CE 1 as an example:
[CE1] display ip routing-table
Routing Tables: Public
Destinations : 9 Routes : 9
Destination/Mask Proto Pre Cost NextHop Interface
20.1.1.0/24 Direct 0 0 20.1.1.1 S2/1/2

20.1.1.2/32 Direct 0 0 20.1.1.2 S2/1/2
30.1.1.0/24 OSPF 10 1574 100.1.1.2 GE2/1/1
100.1.1.0/24 Direct 0 0 100.1.1.1 GE2/1/1
