Ip Vrf (Global Configuration) - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Command Reference Manual

Chapter 2 Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Cisco IOS Commands
•
To return to global configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode, use
the end command.
The switch supports a total of 26 VRFs and VPNs.
Use an import route map when an application requires finer control over the routes imported into a VRF
than provided by the import and export extended communities configured for the importing and
exporting VRF. The import map command associates a route map with the specified VRF. By using a
route map, you can filter routes that are eligible for import into a VRF, based on the route target extended
community attributes of the route. The route map might deny access to selected routes from a community
that is on the import list.
If you set a maximum routes threshold, the switch rejects routes when the threshold limit is reached. If
you enter warn-only, the switch issues a syslog error message when the maximum number of VRF
routes exceeds the allowed limit, but still allows additional routes.
An RD creates routing and forwarding tables and specifies the default route distinguisher for a VPN. You
must configure a route distinguisher for a VRF to be functional. The RD is added to the beginning of the
customer's IPv4 prefixes to change them into globally unique VPN-IPv4 prefixes.
The route target specifies a target VPN extended community. Like a route-distinguisher, an extended
community is composed of either an autonomous system number and an arbitrary number or an IP
address and an arbitrary number.
The ip vrf vrf-name command creates a VRF routing table and a Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
forwarding table, both named vrf-name. Associated with these tables is the default route distinguisher
value route-distinguisher.
Examples This example shows how to create the VRF named vpn1, enter VRF configuration mode, and import a
route map to the VRF:
Switch(config)# ip vrf vpn1
Switch(config-vrf)# rd 100:2
Switch(config-vrf)# route-target both 100:2
Switch(config-vrf)# route-target import 100:1
