Help needed with BGP

Trying to do this in a lab with MPLS. I had ip connectivity between the CE and PE. When I logged into the PE and added the command " ip vrf forwarding site1" , it removed the ip off of the interface facing the CE. so I re-added it. Ever since then, the PE and CE have not had IP connectivity.

Because of this, I cannot establish a BGP session to PE. it says "connection refused." diagram attached. It is the CE on the left I'm referring to

Bgp works without the mpls commands in the pe....

Forsaken_GA

When you say IP connectivity, you mean from PE to CE, ie, you can't ping each end of the tunnel?

If so, which router are you pining from?

Forsaken_GA

Ok, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? It looks like you're trying to run OSPF CE-PE, but you're also trying to peer CE-PE BGP globally? That's not going to work. As soon as you assign the vrf to the interface, the address attached to that interface no longer has a route in the global routing table, so your BGP neighbor statement to the CE is going to fail.

If all you're trying to do is run BGP CE-PE, get rid of the OSPF vrf configuration, and set your neighbor statement to the CE router under the address family vrf site 1 configuration.

There's no need to do redistribution when eBGP is the PE-CE routing protocol, it redistributes them into MP-BGP automatically
