MPLS Layer 3 VPN PE-CE OSPF

Hi Rene,

I have seen some CE routers configure with this other statements and I was under the impression that we are just suppose to configure EBGP and redistribute OSPF but this CE has attributes that we configure on our example on the PE. Why? Are these extra statements on the CE that have no effect?. I removed the public ip address and the AS#.

router bgp 3000
address-family ipv4
  redistribute static
  redistribute ospf 25
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 activate
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 send-community
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
  neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 17
ip route 172.16.222.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.5.201
