Route leaking between VRFs
This feature provides generic route leaking capabilities between locally defined VRFs (VRF-lite). If VRF leaking is not configured, VRFs are isolated.
In this example, interface npu0_vlink0 belongs to VRF 10 and is used to leak 1.2.2.2/32 from VRF10 to VRF20, and interface npu0_vlink1 belongs to VRF 20 and is used to leak 172.28.1.0/24 from VRF20 to VRF10. So, VRF10 can see 172.28.1.0/24, and VRF20 can see 1.2.2.2/32.
To configure VRF leaking:
- Configure the prefix list and route map to filter what will be leaked:
config router prefix-list edit "1" config rule edit 1 set prefix 1.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 next end next edit "2" config rule edit 1 set prefix 172.28.1.0 255.255.255.0 next end next end
config router route-map edit "from10" config rule edit 1 set match-ip-address "1" next end next edit "from20" config rule edit 1 set match-ip-address "2" next end next end
- Configure the VDOM link interfaces for the leaking and routing:
config system interface edit "npu0_vlink0" set vdom "root" set vrf 10 set ip 172.16.201.1 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http next edit "npu0_vlink1" set vdom "root" set vrf 20 set ip 172.16.201.2 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http telnet next end
- Configure the BGP VRF leak:
config router bgp set as 44 set router-id 4.4.4.4 config neighbor edit "172.16.200.1" set soft-reconfiguration enable set remote-as 11 set update-source "port1" next edit "172.16.202.1" set soft-reconfiguration enable set remote-as 22 set update-source "port3" next end config vrf-leak edit "10" config target edit "20" set route-map "from10" set interface "npu0_vlink0" next end next edit "20" config target edit "10" set route-map "from20" set interface "npu0_vlink1" next end next end end
- Confirm that the filtered routed leaked as expected:
