Unable to advertise static routes via MP BGP to PE routers

Wanted to quickly post this MP BGP MPLS config I had trouble with here. Below is the Cisco support thread that covers it.



I wanted to do a straight bgp only L3 service across my ISP PEs....using different AS for each customer site. No other core IGP is used- just BGP and static routes to form the neighborships between PE-R8 and PE-R9. In order to get full end to end connectivity for the site networks, I had to advertise the transit networks between the PE routers and the P router. (the .140 and .144) The key to get them advertised out to the CEs was first get define the static routes on the PE in the global routing table. Then redistribute those into the ipv4 BGP table. THEN...import those routes into the customer vrf using the import command that references a route-map, that references an ip prefix-list to scope the routes. After all that- they finally appeared in the vpnv4 address family on the PE routers, and in BGP on the vrf attached CEs
This was the only way I could get them to work - maybe there's an easier way !

So..to sum up...here's the config that worked: (for PE-R8....R9 config'd similarly)
