Configuring Multiple VRF

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:
Note. Configuring a VRF instance name is case sensitive. In addition, if the name specified does not exist,
a VRF instance is automatically created. As a result, it is possible to accidentally create or delete
instances. Use the show vrf
removing instances.
1
Create VRF instance, IpOne, using the
-> vrf IpOne
IpOne: ->
Note that in the above 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 will 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 IpTwo
IpTwo: ->
Note that in the above 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
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
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
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
commands. For example:
IpOne: -> ip load rip
IpOne: -> ip rip status enable
IpOne: ->
