Inter-VRF Routing
Table 62 displays the individual Brocade devices and the Inter-VRF Routing features they support.
Inter-VRF routing overview
Inter-VRF routing feature permits routes from one VRF to import into other VRFs. This feature is
useful in cases where all the VRFs share the same path to reach the external domain, but each VRF
can still keep its internal routing information limited to its own VRF. Currently, Brocade NetIron
series routers permit static routes to be configured across VRFs. User can configure to import
routes from one VRF to other VRFs through configuration.
Figure 29 depicts a network using
inter-VRF to provide connectivity among sites that belong to multiple VPNs. To share the VPN
routing table information with remote PEs, each PE creates separate virtual interfaces and runs
different instances of the PE-PE routing protocol for each VRF.
