Quick Steps for Configuring Multiple VRF
The initial configuration for an OmniSwitch consists of a default VRF instance. This instance is always
available and is not removable. The following procedure provides a quick tutorial for creating two
additional VRF instances and configuring IPv4 protocols to run in each instance:
1 Create VRF instance, IpOne, using the vrf command with the create parameter. For example:
-> vrf create IpOne
IpOne::->
In this example, the change in the command prompt from “->” to “IpOne: ->” indicates that the
instance was created and is now the active VRF CLI context. Any commands entered at this point
apply to this instance, unless the commands entered are not supported in multiple VRF instances.
2 Create a second VRF instance, IpTwo, using the vrf command. For example:
IpOne::-> vrf create IpTwo
IpTwo::->
In this example, IpOne was the active instance until IpTwo was created and replaced IpOne as the
active VRF CLI context.
3 Select IpOne for the active VRF instance and create an IP router interface on VLAN 100 and VLAN
101 using the ip interface command. For example:
IpTwo::-> vrf IpOne
IpOne::-> ip interface intf100 address 100.1.1.1/24 vlan 100
IpOne::-> ip interface intf101 address 101.1.1.1/24 vlan 101
IpOne::->
4 Configure 1.1.1.1 as the primary router ID address for the IpOne VRF instance using the ip router
router-id command. For example:
IpOne::-> ip router router-id 1.1.1.1
IpOne::->
5 Create an IP static route for the IpOne VRF instance using the ip static-route command. For example:
IpOne::-> ip static-route 192.100.1.1/24 gateway 100.1.1.10
IpOne::->
6 Load and enable the RIP protocol for the IpOne VRF instance using the ip load rip and ip rip admin-
state commands. For example:
IpOne::-> ip load rip
IpOne::-> ip rip admin-state enable
IpOne::->
Note. Configuring a VRF instance name is case sensitive. As a result, it is possible to accidentally create or
delete instances. Use the show vrf command to verify the VRF instance configuration before selecting,
adding, or removing instances.
