Configuring Multi-VRF CE
Configuring VRF-Aware Services
IP services can be configured on global interfaces that run within the global routing instance. IP services
are enhanced to run on multiple routing instances; they are VRF-aware. Any configured VRF in the
system can be specified for a VRF-aware service.
VRF-aware services are implemented in platform-independent modules. VRF means multiple routing
instances in Cisco IOS. Each platform has its own limit on the number of VRFs it supports.
VRF-aware services have the following characteristics:
• The user can ping a host in a user-specified VRF.
• ARP entries are learned in separate VRFs. The user can display Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
entries for specific VRFs.
These services are VRF-aware:
• ARP
• Ping
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
• Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF)
• Syslog
• Traceroute
• FTP and TFTP
