Basic Vrf-Lite Configuration Steps - Avaya 8800 Technical Configuration Manual

2.3 Basic VRF-Lite Configuration Steps

The following are the steps used to configure a VRF instance, adding an IP address, and enable a routing
protocol using CLI, JDM (5.x), and EDM (≥7.0) .
2.3.1 Initial VRF Configuration
2.3.1.1 Logon to the ERS 8600/8800 switch using ether CLI, Java Device Manger (5.x), or EDM
(7.0 or higher)
You can use either CLI, JDM, or EDM to configure the ERS 8600/8800 for VRF-Light.
2.3.1.2 Create VRF instances

By default, the maximum routes per VRF instance is set to 10,000 routes

By default, SNMP trap is enabled is the maximum route is reached
CLI Step 1 – Create VRF instance, add maximum routes (optional), and routing protocol
CLI
ERS8000-1:5# config ip vrf <name 1..64> create id <1-255>
ERS8000-1:5# config ip vrf <name 1..64> max-routes <0..250000>
ERS8000-1:5# config ip vrf <name 1..64> <rip|ospf|bgp> create
ERS8000-1:5# config ip vrf <name 1..64> <rip|ospf|bgp> enable
ACLI
ERS8000-1:5(config)# ip vrf <name 0-64> vrfid <1-255>
ERS8000-1:5(config)# ip vrf <name 0-64> max-routes <0..250000>
ERS8000-1:5(config)# router vrf <name 0-64>
ERS8000-1:5(router-vrf)# ip <rip|ospf|bgp>
ERS8000-1:5(router-vrf)# exit
