Creating and Deleting VRFs

  • To create a VRF, use the following command and include the type attribute:
    create virtual-router vr-name {type [vrf | vpn-vrf {vr parent_vr_name}]}
    Note

    Note

    VRFs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in the ExtremeXOS 22.6 Feature License Requirements document. To support a Layer 3 VPN, a VPN VRF must be created under the parent VR that will run the MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) protocol.
    A VRF name cannot have the same name as a VLAN or VR.
  • To create a local-only VRF (ExtremeSwitching and Summit X440-G2, and X620 only), use the preceding command and include the type attribute:
  • To display the VRFs, use the following command:
    show virtual-router {name}
  • To delete a VRF, use the following command:
    Note

    Note

    Before you delete a VRF, you must delete all VLANs and stop all protocols that are assigned to that VRF. All of the ports assigned to a deleted VRF are deleted and made available to assign to other VRs and VRFs. Any routing protocol instance that is assigned to the VRF is deleted gracefully.
