VRF configuration with NETCONF overview

VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a technology that controls information flow within a network
by isolating the traffic by partitioning the network into different logical VRF domains. Every
VRF-capable router supports one routing table for each VRF instance. Each VRF-capable router can
function as a group of multiple virtual routers on the same physical router. VRF, in conjunction with
virtual private network (VPN) solutions, guarantees privacy of information and isolation of traffic
within its logical VRF domain.

This chapter provides procedures and examples for configuring VRF using the NETCONF interface.
Refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide for the following related information:

A conceptual overview of VRF

An example of a VRF configuration

A description of VRF-lite for customer edge routers

Procedures and examples for configuring VRF using the Network OS command line interface

Procedures and examples for configuring Inter-VRF Route Leaking using the Network OS
command line interface

A procedure for enabling VRF for VRRP

Using the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following VRF configuration operations:

Use the remote procedure call (RPC) to activate and deactivate VRF globally, set
global VRF parameters, activate and deactivate VRF on a port, and to set interface parameters
on a specific port.

Use the RPC to verify all or part of the VRF configuration.

VRF parameters are defined in the brocade-vrf YANG module. For a structural map of the YANG
module, refer to the Network OS YANG Reference Manual. For definitions and explanations of all
VRF parameters, refer to the brocade-vrf.yang file.
