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
ipv4 vrf <vrf-name>
Associate a RIP address-family with a specific
VRF instance.
Step 3 awplus(config-router-af)#network
x.x.x.x/x
Define a network on which the RIP address-
family runs.
Step 4 awplus(config-router-af)#redistribute
<protocol>
Configure the device to redistribute information
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
ipv4 vrf <vrf-name>
Associate a BGP address-family with a specific
VRF instance.
Step 3 awplus(config-router-af)#redistribute
<protocol>
Configure the device to redistribute information
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
x.x.x.x <remote-ASN>
If required, define a BGP neighbor and its
associated ASN.
Step 5 awplus(config-router-af)#neighbor
x.x.x.x activate
Activate the BGP neighbor to allow the BGP
Transport Layer TCP connection to establish to
the specified BGP neighbor.
Step 6
awplus(config-router-af)#exit-address-

Step 7 awplus(config-router)#exit
