Who should read this document?

This document is aimed at advanced network engineers.

Which products and software version does it apply to?

The information provided in this document applies to:

SwitchBlade AT-x908 and AT-x900 series switches running 5.4.1 and above.

x610 switches running AlliedWare+ version 5.4.2 and above.

Note: VRF -lite is not supported in the x600 series switch.

Software feature licenses

The VRF-lite feature requires a special software license. Without a proper license installed, configuring VRFs is not possible. A VRF-lite feature license key is distributed in the Advanced Layer 3 License Bundle that allows up to 8 VRF-lite instances to be configured.

The number of configurable VRF-lite instances can be increased via an additional VRF-lite-63 license.

The Advanced Layer 3 License Bundle containing the VRF-lite feature and the additional VRF- lite-63 license are available through the AW+ licensing web portal (http:// licensing.alliedtelesis.com/).

A VRF-lite-63 license requires an Advanced Layer 3 License Bundle to work.

Note: Enabling multiple VRFs means there will be more routing entries on the device system- wide. This may affect the number of routes used by BGP or OSPF specified by the licence key on the device.

Command summary

All the existing CLI commands available in the current non-VRF environment are available with no change.
