VRF reachability for server-based services

The server services running on the Extreme device must listen to the requests in all the VRFs or a specified VRF and send the response back to the client in the same VRF where the request arrived. Thus, the services can come through any in-band interface bound to any VRF.

Each server-based service can have a maximum of 32 VRF instances; one mgmt-vrf, one default-vrf, and 30 user-defined VRFs. The following table lists the server services and associated commands that VRF reachability supports.

Note

The SNMP server listens on all VRFs and sends the response back on the same VRF where the request arrived.

HTTP and HTTPS are mutually exclusive on the Extreme device and both will not be enabled in different VRFs.

Table 1. Server-based services and associated commands that VRF reachability supports
Service	VRF-related command	Additional information
HTTP	[no] http server [ use-vrf vrf-name ] [ shutdown ]	By default, the HTTP service is associated and started on mgmt-vrf and default-vrf. A user-defined VRF is optional.
SSH	[no] ssh server [ use-vrf vrf-name ] shutdown	By default, the SSH service is associated and started on mgmt-vrf and default-vrf. A user-defined VRF is optional.
Telnet	[no] telnet server [ use-vrf vrf-name ] shutdown	By default, the Telnet service is associated and started on mgmt-vrf and default-vrf. A user-defined VRF is optional.
