Carrier of Carriers or Carrier supporting Carrier is a hierarchical construct to allow a network provider to provide MPLS connectivity with relatively low complexity. While it is even simpler to build layer 2 circuits over a backhaul network, in some cases routed connectivity may be preferred as you have a common connection point to the far end regions without needing to concern yourself with the provisioning scale and bandwidth management of each path. While this is quite a large posting it is mainly to show the configuration and verification steps. The summary of actions to create a CsC configuration is at the end of the post if you run out of patience.
This Example will have a three router Carrier of Carriers Network Operator (SC-1, SC-2 and SC-3) providing connectivity between a customer (VPRN 200) with two regions – Region A (RA-1, RA-2 and RA-3) and Region B (RB-1, RB-2 and RB-3)
Prior to SROS version 14.0R4, a single RIB was used for both labeled and unlabeled prefixes. With 14.0R4, two RIBs were established (actually, two RIBs for IPv4 and another two for IPv6) – this demonstration will have half the routers using 12.0R6 and half running 14.0R8 to highlight the configuration differences. The routers that are running SROS 14.0R8 in this example are configured using the VSR-D model which has the Control Plane Module operating in a VM (VM-CP) independent of the Input/Output Module (VM-DP) each VM-CP and VM-DP is logically connected via Switch Fabric ports – this is transparent to the configuration and operation of the simulated routers.
The initial configurations for Region A without the CSC Uplink on RA-1 as as below. OSPF as the IGP, LDP signalled LSPs are used, RA-3 is the local VPN Route Reflector for AS65000, VPRN 123 is created on each router.

Similarly for Region B, the initial configurations without the CSC Uplink on RB-1 as as below. OSPF as the IGP, LDP signalled LSPs, RB-3 is the local VPN Route Reflector for AS65000, VPRN 123 is created on each router. Besides the card/mda differences on the emulated hardware, the primary difference here compared to Region A which is using an older SROS version is the LSP binding (auto-bind) syntax changes to give more control as to the LSP types that may be desired.

At this stage, we have three Islands – Region A, Region B and the Carrier of Carriers Network (without the CSC configuration)
RA-1 is the Region A CSC-CE Router (which is also operating as a regular PE Router) which peers with the CSC Network SC-R1 to exchange labeled routes using BGP. Note: Both of these routers are running SROS 12.0R6 and are configured in the “old way”

Of note is the definition of the VPRN type: carrier-carrier-vpn, once enabled regular IP interfaces cannot be created, only “network-interfaces” which must be on Ethernet ports that are of mode network. As both Region A and Region B both use AS 65000, as-override has been used to stop AS-Path loops occurring when advertising prefixes from other regions with the same BGP AS. We are using the IPv4 Address family but are specifically advertising associated MPLS Labels (This particular configuration component is different after SROS Release 14.0R4) Routing policy is defined and used to export VPN routes to RA-1.

Routing policy is used to advertise any system addresses from Region A (1.1.1.x/32) with MPLS labels to the CSC

The main difference compared with the configuration on SC-1 besides the auto-bind-tunnel changes, are that we are specifically peering using the label-ipv4 address family instead of the ipv4 address family and advertising labels.

Okay, we have tunnels between all routers in both Regions A and B.
The final step to get VPRN connectivity between Region A and Region B is to peer the VPN Route Reflectors (RA-3 and RB-3)
configure
router
bgp
group "VPN-RR-RegionB"
family vpn-ipv4
peer-as 65000
neighbor 2.2.2.3
description "RB-3"
exit
exit
exit
exit all
configure
router
bgp
group "VPN-RR-RegionA"
family vpn-ipv4
peer-as 65000
neighbor 1.1.1.3
description "RA-3"
exit
exit
exit
exit all
We should be able to now verify this with VPRN 123

While this is quite a long post, the actual configuration itself for the CSC is straight forward:
- The CSC VPRN must be set to carrier-carrier-vpn
- The CSC VPRN uses Ethernet ports with mode network even though its for customers
- The CSC-PE and CSC-CE exchange labeled routes
- The CSC-CE redistributes between OSPF/LDP and BGP
Changes to the way the RIB works on SROS and how that impacts CsC configurations was also briefly discussed.
