Important

Static inter-VRF route leaking is a feature that should be deployed only by an advanced user.

Procedure

  1. Create the VRF instances you want to be the leaker (source VRF) and where the route is being leaked to (destination VRF).
  2. Specify the interface for the source VRF and map it to the source VRF.
  3. Enter the IP address/mask to be used for this VRF instance.
  4. Specify the interface you want to be the destination VRF and map it to the destination VRF.
  5. Specify the IP address/mask to receive the leaked route.
  6. Change the configuration mode to source VRF address-family context.
  7. Configure the route to be leaked, specifying the route prefix, the next-hop VRF name as the destination VRF and the next hop to the destination VRF.
  8. Optional: (Optional) For bidirectional inter-VRF route leaking, repeat the above steps, but swap the source and destination addresses.
