Creating and Deleting User Virtual Routers

  • To create a user VR, use the following command and do not include the type or vr attributes:
    create virtual-router vr-name {type [vrf | vpn-vrf {vr parent_vr_name}]}
    Note

    Note

    User VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in the ExtremeXOS 22.7 Feature License Requirements document.
    A VR name cannot be the same as a VLAN name. You cannot name a user VR with the names VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, or VR-Default because these are the existing default system VRs. For backward compatibility, user VRs also cannot be named VR-0, VR-1 or VR-2 because these three names are the names for the system VRs in ExtremeXOS releases before 11.0.
    If you exceed the maximum number of VRs supported on your platform, a message similar to the following appears:
    Error: Maximum number of User VRs supported by the system is 63
  • To create a local-only user VR (ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, and X620 only), use the following command, and do not include the type or vr attributes:
    create virtual-router vr-name local-only {type [vrf | vpn-vrf {vr parent_vr_name}]}
  • To display the virtual routers, use the following command:
    show virtual-router {name}
  • To delete a user VR, use the following command:
    Note

    Note

    Before you delete a VR, you must delete all VLANs and child VRFs created in that VR. All of the ports assigned to this VR are deleted and made available to assign to other VRs and VRFs. Any routing protocol that is running on the VR is shut down and deleted gracefully.
