6. How PEs Learn Routes from CEs
The PE routers which attach to a particular VPN need to know, for
each of that VPN's sites, which addresses in that VPN are at each
site.
In the case where the CE device is a host or a switch, this set of
addresses will generally be configured into the PE router attaching
to that device.

Hi,
2547bis says
"A customer edge (CE) device provides customer access to the service
provider network over a
data link to one or more provider edge (PE) routers. While the CE device
can be a host or a
Layer 2 switch, typically the CE device is an IP router that establishes an
adjacency with its
directly connected PE routers."
Suppose a customer has a L2 CE device (switch) & his requirement is that
he has to be accomodated on to the Providers existing BGP/MPLS L3 VPN based
setup with his CE device.
i have heard there is a workaround for such scenarios wherein...a sort of
virtual router that mimics a L3 CE device is created on the PE of the
provider which connects to L2 CE..and the VPN in turn starts from the PE
connecting to this PE.
my question??
need clarity -whether this works and how exactly this w!
ill work
if it will.
will be thankful to be referred to links that explore such a scenario
