Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a VRF instance. Note that deleting the default instance is
not allowed. In addition, any interfaces configured for a VRF instance are automatically removed when
the instance is deleted.
•
To return to the default VRF instance from within the context of another instance, enter the vrf
command with or without the optional default parameter (for example, vrf or vrf default).
•
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 instances or
delete the wrong instance.
•
If the name of an existing instance is specified with this command, VRF changes the command prompt
to reflect the specified instance name. All CLI commands entered at this point are applied within the
context of the active VRF instance.
•
It is also possible to configure other instances from within the CLI context of the default VRF instance
by entering the vrf command followed by the instance name. For example, entering vrf IpOne ip
interface intf100 address 100.1.1.1/24 vlan 100 is applied to the IpOne instance even though IpOne is
not the active CLI context.
