Select and Launch a VRF Context View

About this task

Use this procedure to switch to another VRF context view when you use the embedded EDM. GlobalRouter is the default view at log in. You can configure both Global Router (GRT) and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances when you launch a VRF context view. You can open only five tabs for each EDM session.

Important

If you log out from the GRT view, the system generates a warning: all tabs close and your session terminates. If you close a VRF view tab, you close only that view.

Note

The Set VRF Context view function is not available to users in a service provider deployment where only a tenant VRF view is assigned.If you use a tenant VRF view, as a best practice, use the applicable EDM plugin with COM to access EDM. COM provides VRF mapping and Role-Based Access Control.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > VRF Context View.
Select Set VRF Context View.
Select the VRF tab.
Select a context to view.
Select Launch VRF Context view.

A new browser tab opens containing the selected VRF view
