MPLS L3VPN ON IOS-XR

Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

https://user.pnetlab.com/store/labs/detail?id=16093397238279
Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how can you configure
MPLS L3VPN on IOS-XR.
Pay attention : This workbook just introduce about the configuration on IOS-XR device
(XRV1,XRV2). All of the other device, you could referrence to the other MPLS L3VPN lab other.

Task list:
Task 1: Configure the hostname and IP address for the interface for Routers XRV as topo.
Task 2: Config OSPF Routing on Routers XRV.
Task 3: Config MPLS LDP on Routers XRV.
Task 4: Config BGP in Routers XRV to building L3VPN Service on VRF.

//The BGP configuration in IOS-XR has a little different if you compare to IOS/IOS-XE. We need to
use the neighbor-group first. After that, you could specify the using which neighbor-group for

each neighbor. To build neighbor group, you could use session-group… The logic is not change,
but the way to configure is different.
