Follow these steps to associate an VPN instance with an interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view of the

of the VPN instance.
A VPN instance determines whether to accept a received route according to the VPN target import
extended community attribute list associated with the route and the setting specified by the
vpn-target command.
A VPN instance modifies the export VPN target attribute according to the setting specified by the
vpn-target command.
