Configure an IPv4 Static Route Between Two Named VRFs

You can configure the next hop of a static route to be in a different VRF.

Before you begin

Ensure that VRFs in the route configuration are valid VRFs.

Access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Enter configuration mode for the source VRF.
```
device(config)# vrf red
```
In this example, the source VRF is "red."
Create a Route Descriptor.
```
device(config-vrf-red)# rd 1:1
```
Specify that IPv4 addressing is to be used on the route.
```
device(config-vrf-red)# address-family ipv4 unicast
```

Configure the destination address and mask, the next hop VRF, and its IP address.

device(config-vrf-red-ipv4-unicast)# ip route 10.128.2.69/24 next-hop-vrf blue 10.1.1.1
