Enabling vrrp for vrf – Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 User Manual
Page 611
a)
Enter VRF configuration mode and specify "orange" as the VRF name.
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# vrf orange
b)
Specify the router differentiator.
switch(config-vrf-orange)# rd 1:1
c)
Enable IPv4 address-family support for VRF routing, and specify the maximum number of
routes to be used.
switch(config-vrf-orange)# address-family ipv4 max-route 3600
3. Enable the OSPF routing protocol for the instance in VRF configuration mode, and assign it to area
10.
NOTE
All OSPF commands that are present under OSPF router configuration mode are applicable to the
new OSPF VRF router configuration mode for a non-default VRF instance, the same as for the
default VRF instance.
switch(vrf-ipv4)# router ospf vrf orange
switch(config-router-ospf-vrf-orange)# area 10
switch(vrf-ipv4)# exit
switch(config-vrf-orange)# exit
4. Bind the interface to the VRF instance.
NOTE
After a VRF instance is enabled on an interface, all Layer 3 configurations on the interface are
removed, and you will need to configure them again.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
switch(config-rbrfidge-id-1)# interface ve 128
switch(config-Ve-128)# vrf forwarding orange
switch(config-vrf-orange)# address-family ipv4 max-route 3600
5. Configure the static routes.
switch(vrf-ipv4)# ip route 10.31.1.0/30 10.30.2.1
6. Configure static ARP for the interface.
switch(vrf-ipv4)# arp 10.2.2.3 0000.0011.0022 int ve 128
7. Confirm the VRF configuration with the show vrf command (using do in this configuration mode).
switch(vrf-ipv4)# do show vrf
Total number of VRFs configured: 1
Status Codes - A: active, D: pending deletion, I: inactive
Name Default RD IFL ID vrf|v4|v6 Interfaces

Enabling VRRP for VRF
To enable the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) or VRRP-Extended (VRRP-E) for a Virtual
Routing and Forwarding (VRF) region, an interface should be assigned to a VRF before enabling the
VRRP or VRRP-E protocol. The VRRP protocol is enabled or disabled globally on the switch under
RBridge ID configuration mode; it cannot be enabled or disabled on a specific VRF instance.
For more information on the VRRP protocol on Brocade switches, refer to
1. Enter RBridge ID configuration mode.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
2. Set the protocol to VRRP.
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# protocol vrrp
3. Select the interface.
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# interface ve 128
4. Configure an IP address for the interface.
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# ip address 172.128.20.10/24
