Licensing Requirements for VRFs
Filtering
Filtering allows you to limit the type of information that goes to a VRF-aware service based on the VRF.
For example, you can configure a syslog server to support a particular VRF. Figure 14-4 shows two
syslog servers with each server supporting one VRF. syslog server A is configured in VRF Red, so Cisco
NX-OS sends only system messages generated in VRF Red to syslog server A.
Figure 14-4 Service VRF Filtering
Combining Reachability and Filtering
You can combine reachability and filtering for VRF-aware services. You configure the VRF that Cisco
NX-OS uses to connect to that service as well as the VRF that the service supports. If you configure a
service in the default VRF, you can optionally configure the service to support all VRFs.
Figure 14-5 shows an SNMP server that is reachable on the management VRF. You can configure the
SNMP server to support only the SNMP notifications from VRF Red, for example.
