Quick Steps for Configuring Multiple VRF Configuring Multiple VRF
page 16-4 OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network Configuration Guide June 2013
7 Enable RIP on IP interface “intf100” in the IpOne VRF instance using the ip rip interface admin-
state command. For example:
IpOne::-> ip rip interface intf100 admin-state enable
IpOne::->
8 Select IpTwo for the active VRF instance and create an IP router interface on VLAN 102 using the
ip interface command. For example:
IpOne::-> vrf IpTwo
IpTwo::-> ip interface intf102 address 102.1.1.1/24 vlan 102
IpTwo::->
9 Configure 2.2.2.2 as the primary router ID address for the IpTwo VRF instance using the
ip router router-id command. For example:
IpTwo::-> ip router router-id 2.2.2.2
IpTwo::->
10 Load and enable the BGP protocol for the IpTwo VRF instance using the ip load bgp command.
For example:
IpTwo::-> ip load bgp
IpTwo::->
11 Configure a BGP neighbor for the IpTwo VRF instance using the ip bgp neighbor,
ip bgp neighbor remote-as, and ip bgp neighbor admin-state commands. For example:
IpTwo::-> ip bgp neighbor 102.1.1.10
IpTwo::-> ip bgp neighbor 102.1.1.10 remote-as 1000
IpTwo::-> ip bgp neighbor 102.1.1.10 status enable
12 Optional. To configure a VRF instance as a low profile VRF (restricted routing protocols and capabili-
ties) use the vrf command with the profile low parameter option. For example:
IpTwo::-> vrf IpThree profile low
IpThree::->
By default, a VRF instance is created using max profile capabilities. Low profile VRFs use less switch
resources, which allows more VRF instances to operate on the switch.
Note. Verify the Multiple VRF configuration using the show vrf command:
IpOne::-> show vrf
Virtual Routers Profile Protocols
--------------------+-------+-------------------
default default BGP PIM VRRP
IpOne max RIP
IpTwo max BGP
IpThree low
Total Number of Virtual Routers: 4
To verify the configuration of a protocol within a VRF instance, use the show commands related to that
protocol. For example, the show ip interface command displays the IP interfaces associated with the
current CLI VRF context:
-> vrf IpOne
IpOne: -> show ip interface
