Multi-VRF
Overview of Multi-VRF
Table 60 displays the individual Brocade devices and the Multi-VRF features they support.
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been a key application in networking for a long time. Many
possible solutions have been proposed over the last several years. Among the many requirements
driving this need have been the need for secure transport of sensitive information and controlling
information access to those who need it. In large enterprises, particularly those distributed across
disparate locations, sensitivity to information pertinent to a department drives the requirement for
an IT manager to logically demarcate information flows to be within that department. The need for
privacy is another driver behind deployment of VPN solutions.
VPN technologies can be broadly classified into two types:
• secure VPNs
• trusted VPNs.
