Abstract
In a method for managing a VPN, a routing device establishes a BMP session with a BMP server. The routing device allocates a VPN label associated with a VPN instance, wherein the VPN instance is used for communication between the routing device and another routing device. Then, the routing device sends, to the BMP server, a BMP message that carries the VPN label. Because the routing device sends the VPN label through the BMP message, the routing device does not need to establish a BGP peer relationship with the BMP server to send the VPN label.
