Ascii-File-Only Syntax - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9900 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Multiple VRF
context-based CLI, see
Configuration" on page
Note. All VRF instances are active in terms of routing and forwarding tasks whether or not the instance is
the current CLI context. Selecting a VRF instance as the CLI context simply indicates the instance to which
any configuration or show commands apply.

ASCII-File-Only Syntax

When configuration commands for VRF-aware applications are configured and saved in an ASCII file
(typically through the snapshot command) or the switch boot.cfg file, a prefix is added to these
commands to indicate the name of the VRF instance to which the commands apply. For example:
! VRF
vrf create vrfOne
! IP
vrf vrfOne ip interface intf100 address 100.1.1.1/24 vlan 100
vrf vrfOne ip interface intf101 address 101.1.1.1/24 vlan 101
vrf vrfOne ip router router-id 1.1.1.1
vrf vrfOne ip static route 192.100.1.0/24 gateway 100.1.1.10
! RIP
vrf vrfOne ip load rip
vrf vrfOne ip rip status enable
vrf vrfOne ip rip interface intf100 status enable
In this example, vrfOne is added to the beginning of the IP and RIP configuration command lines. This
indicates that these commands apply to the vrfOne instance. If a command line does not contain an
instance name, then that command is for an application that applies only to the default VRF instance or the
application is not VRF-aware.
Default VRF commands appear first in an ASCII or boot.cfg file, followed by commands for VRF-aware
applications configured in non-default instances.
Management VRF
The Management VRF feature gives the user the ability to control which VRF is used for the various
switch management protocols (Telnet, RADIUS, and so on.)
The following level of support is provided:
•
Level 0 - The management service may only appear in the Default VRF.
•
Level 1 - User may specify a single VRF that all management services can be configured in. For
example, both RADIUS and LDAP can use vrf-1.
•
Level 2 - Each management service or multiple management services can be configured for a different
VRF. For example, RADIUS in vrf-1, LDAP in vrf-2, SNMP in vrf-3.
•
Level 3 - A management service may appear in multiple VRFs. For example, SSH and Telnet in vrf-1
and vrf-2.
