Dynamic inter-VRF communication explained

Using the route-target command

When BGP is used for inter-VRF communication, dynamic route leakage of BGP routes from one VRF instance to another is achieved via the VRF route-target command.

There are three variations of the route-target command:

1.route-target export <ASN:VRFinstance>

for example:

ip vrf red

rd 100:1

route-target export 100:1

2.route-target import <ASN:VRFinstance>

for example:

ip vrf red

rd 100:1

route-target import 100:2

3.route-target both <ASN:VRFinstance>*

for example:

ip vrf red

rd 100:1

route-target export 100:1

route-target export 100:2

route-target export 100:3

route-target import 100:2

can be replaced with:

ip vrf red

rd 100:1

route-target export 100:1 route-target export 100:3

route-target both 100:2

*Use of the command route-target both is uncommon in a VRF-lite environment.

The command route-target export applies a BGP extended community attribute to each BGP prefix stored in the BGP route table of the address-family associated with the VRF instance. The content of this attribute is the (ASN) that was specified in the route-target export command.
