Dear All,

When using OSPF as the PE-CE routing protocol in an MPLS VPN part of only an OSPF single area (Area0) , I find that the routes which are advertised from the remote CE router to the local CE router are OSPF (Inter-Area) routes, & not Intra area routes. Is there any way these routes can be changed to Intra-Area routes. The reason is that the customer network is only within a single area (Area 0). I feel this happens only because the customer sites routes are exchanged between PE routers using MBGP & then redistributed into the customer's OSPF VRF routing process.

Kindly advise on how theses routes can still be visible as OSPF Intra-area routes instead of Inter-Area routes.

With warm regards,

Vinod.
