Configuring VRF-lite

DYNAMIC ROUTING PROTOCOL - RIP ADDRESS-FAMILY

PURPOSE

 

 

 

Step 1

awplus(config)#router rip

Optional. Enter router configuration mode for

 

 

RIP.

 

 

 

Step 2

awplus(config-router)#address-family

Associate a RIP address-family with a specific

 

ipv4 vrf <vrf-name>

VRF instance.

 

 

 

Step 3

awplus(config-router-af)#network

Define a network on which the RIP address-

 

x.x.x.x/x

family runs.

 

 

 

Step 4

awplus(config-router-af)#redistribute

Configure the device to redistribute information

 

<protocol>

from another routing protocol into the RIP

 

 

address-family. For example BGP can be

 

 

specified, to allow RIP to advertise inter-VRF

 

 

routes to a RIP neighbor.

 

 

 

Step 5

awplus(config-router)#exit-address-

 

 

family

 

 

 

 

Step 6

awplus(config-router)#exit

 

 

 

 

DYNAMIC ROUTING PROTOCOL - BGP ADDRESS-FAMILY

PURPOSE

 

 

 

Step 1

awplus(config)#router bgp <ASN>

Mandatory if BGP is used for inter-VRF

 

 

communications. Not required if static inter-

 

 

VRF routes are used instead of BGP to provide

 

 

inter-VRF communications. Enter router

 

 

configuration mode for BGP and assign the BGP

 

 

ASN. Define a single BGP ASN for the device.

 

 

Multiple ASNs not supported.

 

 

 

Step 2

awplus(config-router)#address-family

Associate a BGP address-family with a specific

 

ipv4 vrf <vrf-name>

VRF instance.

 

 

 

Step 3

awplus(config-router-af)#redistribute

Configure the device to redistribute information

 

<protocol>

from another routing protocol into the BGP

 

 

address-family. For example 1) connected, or

 

 

static can be specified, to allow BGP to

 

 

advertise connected or static routes to BGP

 

 

neighbor - if external BGP neighbor is

 

 

configured. 2) Ensure the connected or static

 

 

routes are redistributed into BGP to be used for

 

 

inter-VRF communications.

 

 

 

Step 4

awplus(config-router-af)#neighbor

If required, define a BGP neighbor and its

 

x.x.x.x <remote-ASN>

associated ASN.

 

 

 

Step 5

awplus(config-router-af)#neighbor

Activate the BGP neighbor to allow the BGP

 

x.x.x.x activate

Transport Layer TCP connection to establish to

 

 

the specified BGP neighbor.

 

 

 

Step 6

awplus(config-router-af)#exit-address-

 

 

family

 

 

 

 

Step 7

awplus(config-router)#exit
