Configuring VRF

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

1. Configure VRF "red".
   

   <vrf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-vrf">
   		<vrf-name>red</vrf-name>
   	</vrf>

2. Enable the IPv4 or IPv6 address-family support to configure a variety of VRF unicast routing options.
   The below example shows how to enable IPv4 address-family support
   

   <vrf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-vrf">
   		<vrf-name>Red</vrf-name>
   		<address-family>
   			<ip>
   				<unicast></unicast>
   			</ip>
   		</address-family>
   	</vrf>

3. Configure the maximum number of routes to be used for the VRF
   

   <vrf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-vrf">
   		<vrf-name>red</vrf-name>
   		<address-family>
   			<ip>
   				<unicast>
   					<max-route>200</max-route>
   				</unicast>
   			</ip>
   		</address-family>
   	</vrf>

4. Enable the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol over virtual forward and routing (VRF).
   

   <router>
   		<ospf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ospf”>
   			<vrf>red</vrf>
   		</ospf>
   	</router>

5. Assign it to an area
   

   <router>
   		<ospf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ospfv3">
   			<vrf>red</vrf>
   			<area>
   				<area-id>0</area-id>
   			</area>
   		</ospf>
   	</router>

6. Bind the interface to the VRF instance
   

   <interface xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
   		<ve>
   			<name>1</name>
   			<vrf xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ip-config">
   				<forwarding>red</forwarding>
   			</vrf>
   		</ve>
   	</interface>
