Abstract

Site reachability information is determined for a service processing switch that is communicably coupled to one or more sites. In addition, global routing profiles, customer site profiles and OSPF profiles are defined. The profile data, in addition to or instead of the reachability information is used to generate routing configuration data for one or more Virtual Routers and Virtual Private Networks implemented within the service processing switch.
