VRF configuration

VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a technology that controls information flow within a network by isolating the traffic by partitioning the network into different logical VRF domains.

Every VRF-capable router supports one routing table for each VRF instance. Each VRF-capable router can function as a group of multiple virtual routers on the same physical router. VRF, in conjunction with virtual private network (VPN) solutions, guarantees privacy of information and isolation of traffic within its logical VRF domain.

This chapter provides procedures and examples for configuring VRF using the NETCONF interface.

Using the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following VRF configuration operations:

VRF parameters are defined in the brocade-vrf YANG module. For a structural map of the YANG module, refer to the Extreme SLX-OS YANG Reference Manual. For definitions and explanations of all VRF parameters, refer to the brocade-vrf.yang file.
