The automatic Route Distinguisher (auto RD) feature is designed to simplify customer configuration by automating RD assignment. This feature is supported for the following address families.

This feature extends the BGP Layer 3 VPN Import/Export and VRF Route Leaking functionality to “default” VRF.

BGP VPN routes today advertise a label by dynamically allocating it from a dynamic label range block without providing the user any control over the label value that is allocated per VRF’s address Family - VPNv4 or VPNv6. This feature allows the user to configure a unique label per VRF’s configured address-family, VPNv4 or VPNv6, thereby allowing the user granular control over the label value advertised with VPN routes exported from a VRF.

This feature introduces per-nexthop MPLS label allocation for the IPv4-unicast default-route and the IPv6-unicast default-route. Previously, BGP-VPN VRFs only supported a per-VRF label scheme. With a per-VRF label scheme, each BGP-VPN supported AFI-SAFI (i.e. IPv4-unicast and IPv6-unicast) in the BGP-VPN VRF is allocated a single "per-VRF" label that will be shared by all the AFI-SAFI’s routes. When the routes are exported as BGP-VPN routes, all the routes will be exported with the same "per-VRF" VPN label. In the Label FIB (LFIB), each allocated "per-VRF" label is associated with an ip-lookup action inside their corresponding BGP-VPN VRF.
