I am in the process of a setting up a Management VPN for configuration of
CE routers, and the mgt stations sit behind a VRF on a PE router. The
intent is to manage the PE and P routers as well from behind the VRF. I
attempted to set up some static routes from the VRF to the PE/P routers
and vice versa, but am unable to get connectivity, except to the directly
attached PE router. Can anyone help me out with some sample configuration?

My network looks like this:

    Mgt station -------PE -------P1---etc.


on the PE router:

ip route vrf MGT_VPN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Eth1/3 <P1 - IP address>
ip route <mgt_station> <mask> Eth2/0

! to redistribute the mgt station
!
router ospf X
 redistribute static subnets


thanks,
Ravi
