Re: Capability VRF Lite

So I am running VRF lite on CE1 and peering via ospf to PE1.
When PE1 redistributes bgp routes from remote site into OSPF
and propagates them to CE1 they are sent as summary LSAs with the Down bit
set.
Therefore CE1 can see these routes in ospf database with down bit set and
never installs them in routing table.
However by setting capability vrf-lite on PE's ospf vrf process, the PE now
sends route as external LSAs and to my understanding these LSAs are excepted
from the Down bit check
and are sent to CE1 as normal. CE1 now sees these as external LSAs and
installs them in its routing table (VRF).
