+Inter-VRF Routing over VRF Lite
+################################
+
+**Virtual Routing and Forwarding** is a technology that allow multiple instance
+of a routing table to exist within a single device. One of the key aspect of
+**VRFs** is that do not share the same routes or interfaces, therefore packets
+are forwarded between interfaces that belong to the same VRF only.
+
+Any information related to a VRF is not exchanged between devices -or in the
+same device- by default, this is a technique called **VRF-Lite**.
+
+Keep networks isolated is -in general- a good principle, but there are cases
+where you might need that some network can access other in a different VRF.
+
+The scope of this document is to cover such cases in a dynamic way without the
+use of MPLS-LDP.
+
+********
+Overview
+********
+
+Let’s say we have a requirement to have multiple networks.
+
+* LAN 1
+* LAN 2
+* Management
+* Internet
+
+Both LANs have to be able to route between each other, both will have managed
+devices through a dedicated management network and both will need Internet
+access yet the LAN2 will need access to some set of outside networks, not all.
+The management network will need access to both LANs but cannot have access
+to/from the outside.
+
+This scenario could be a nightmare applying regular routing and might need
+filtering in multiple interfaces.
+
+A simple solution could be using different routing tables, or VRFs
+for all the networks so we can keep the routing restrictions.
+But for us to route between the different VRFs we would need a cable or a
+logical connection between each other:
+
+* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and LAN2
+* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and Internet
+* One cable/logical connection between LAN2 and Internet
+* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and Management
+* One cable/logical connection between LAN2 and Management
+
+As we can see this is unpractical.
+
+To address this scenario we will use to our advantage an extension of the BGP
+routing protocol that will help us in the “Export” between VRFs without the
+need for MPLS.
+
+MP-BGP or MultiProtocol BGP introduces two main concepts to solve this
+limitation:
+- Route Distinguisher (RD): Is used to distinguish between different VRFs
+–called VPNs- inside the BGP Process. The RD is appended to each IPv4 Network
+that is advertised into BGP for that VPN making it a unique VPNv4 route.
+- Route Target (RT): This is an extended BGP community append to the VPNv4 route
+in the Import/Export process. When a route passes from the VRF routing table
+into the BGP process it will add the configured export extended community(ies)
+for that VPN. When that route needs to go from BGP into the VRF routing table
+will only pass if that given VPN import policy matches any of the appended
+community(ies) into that prefix.

+Configurations
+**************
+
+.. note:: We use a static route configuration in between the Core and each
+   LAN and Management router, and BGP between the Core router and the ISP router
+   but any dynamic routing protocol can be used.
+
+Remote Networks
+===============
+
+The following template configuration can be used in each remote router based
+in our topology.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # Interface Configuration
+   set interface eth eth<N> address <IP ADDRESS/CIDR>
+
+   # Static default route back to Core
+   set procotols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop <CORE IP ADDRESS>
+
+Core Router
+===========
+
+Step 1: VRF and Configurations to remote networks
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+- Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Set the VRF name and Table ID, set interface address and bind it to the VRF.
+Last add the static route to the remote network.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # VRF name and table ID (MANDATORY)
+   set vrf name <VRF> table <ID>
+
+   # Interface Configuration
+   set interface eth eth<N> address <IP ADDRESS/CIDR>
+
+   # Assign interface to VRF
+   set interface eth eth<N> vrf <VRF>
+
+   # Static route to remote Network
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols static route <NETWORK/CIDR> next-hop <REMOTE IP ADDRESS>
+
+- Verification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Checking the routing table of the VRF should reveal both static and connected
+entries active. A PING test between the Core and remote router is a way to
+validate connectivity within the VRF.
+
+.. code-block:: none

+
+Step 2: BGP Configuration for VRF-Lite
+--------------------------------------
+
+- Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Setting BGP global local-as as well inside the VRF. Redistribute static routes
+to inject configured networks into the BGP process but still inside the VRF.
+
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # set BGP global local-as
+   set protocols bgp local-as <ASN>
+
+   # set BGP VRF local-as and redistribution
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp local-as <ASN>
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> redistribute static
+
+- Verification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Check the BGP VRF table and verify if the static routes are injected showing
+the correct next-hop information.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # show ip bgp vrf <VRF>
+   # show bgp vrf <VRF> ipv6
+
+   vyos@Core:~$ show ip bgp vrf LAN1

+                       2001:db8::1              0         32768 ?
+
+
+Step 3: VPN Configuration
+-------------------------
+
+- Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Within the VRF we set the Route-Distinguisher (RD) and Route-Targets (RT), then
+we enable the export/import VPN.
+
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # set Route-distinguisher
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> rd vpn export '<RD>'
+
+   # set route-target for import/export
+   # Note: RT are a list that can be more than one community between apostrophe
+   #       and separated by blank space. Ex: '<RT:1> <RT:2> <RT:3>'
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> route-target vpn export '<RT:Export>'
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> route-target vpn import '<RT:Import>'
+
+   # Enable VPN export/import under this VRF
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> export vpn
+   set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> import vpn
+
+A key point to understand is that if we need two VRFs to communicate between
+each other EXPORT rt from VRF1 has to be in the IMPORT rt list from VRF2. But
+this is only in ONE direction, to complete the communication the EXPORT rt from
+VRF2 has to be in the IMPORT rt list from VRF1.
+
+There are some cases where this is not needed -for example, in some
+DDoS appliance- but most inter-vrf routing designs use the above configurations.
+
+- Verification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+After configured all the VRFs involved in this topology we take a deeper look
+at both BGP and Routing table for the VRF LAN1
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # show ip bgp vrf <VRF>
+   # show bgp vrf <VRF> ipv6

+
+As we can see in the BGP table any imported route has been injected with a "@"
+followed by the VPN id; In the routing table of the VRF, if the route was
+installed, we can see -between round brackets- the exported VRF table.

+Conclusions
+***********
+
+Inter-VRF routing is a well-known solution to address complex routing scenarios
+that enable -in a dynamic way- to leak routes between VRFs. Is recommended to
+take special consideration while designing route-targets and its application as
+it can minimize future interventions while creating a new VRF will automatically
+take the desired effect in its propagation.

+Route-Filtering
+---------------
+
+When importing routes using MP-BGP it is possible to filter a subset of them
+before are injected in the BGP table. One of the most common case is to use a
+route-map with an prefix-list.
+
+- Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We create a prefix-list first and add all the routes we need to.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # set both ipv4 and ipv6 policies
+
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 le '24'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 prefix '198.51.0.0/16'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 2 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 2 prefix '192.0.2.0/24'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 3 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 3 prefix '192.168.0.0/24'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 4 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 4 prefix '10.0.0.0/24'
+
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 prefix '2001:db8:1::/48'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 2 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 2 prefix '2001:db8:2::/48'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 3 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 3 prefix '2001:db8:0:3::/64'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 4 action 'permit'
+   set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 4 prefix '2001:db8:0:1::/64'
+
+Then add a route-map and reference to above prefix. Consider that the actions
+taken inside the prefix will MATCH the routes that will be affected by the
+actions inside the rules of the route-map.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   set policy route-map LAN2-Internet rule 1 action 'permit'
+   set policy route-map LAN2-Internet rule 1 match ip address prefix-list 'LAN2-Internet'
+
+   set policy route-map LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 action 'permit'
+   set policy route-map LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 match ipv6 address prefix-list 'LAN2-Internet-v6'
+
+We are using a "white list" approach by allowing only what is necessary. In case
+that need to implement a "black list" approach you will ned to change the action
+in the route-map for a deny BUT you need to add a rule that permit the rest due
+to the implicit deny in the route-map.
+
+Then we need to attach the policy into the bgp process. This needs to be under
+the import statement in the vrf we need to filter.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   set vrf name LAN2 protocols bgp address-family ipv4-unicast route-map vpn import 'LAN2-Internet'
+   set vrf name LAN2 protocols bgp address-family ipv6-unicast route-map vpn import 'LAN2-Internet-v6'
+
+
+- Verification
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   # show ip route vrf LAN2
+
+   B>* 10.0.0.0/24 [20/0] via 10.1.1.2, eth0 (vrf LAN1), weight 1, 00:45:28
+   S>* 172.16.0.0/24 [1/0] via 172.16.2.2, eth1, weight 1, 00:45:32
+   C>* 172.16.2.0/30 is directly connected, eth1, 00:45:39
+   B>* 192.0.2.0/24 [20/0] via 10.2.2.2, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:45:24
+   B>* 192.168.0.0/24 [20/0] via 192.168.3.2, eth2 (vrf Managment), weight 1, 00:45:27
+   B>* 198.51.100.0/24 [20/0] via 10.2.2.2, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:45:24
+
+   # show ipv6 route vrf LAN2
+
+   C>* 2001:db8::2/127 is directly connected, eth1, 00:46:26
+   B>* 2001:db8:0:1::/64 [20/0] via 2001:db8::1, eth0 (vrf LAN1), weight 1, 00:46:17
+   S>* 2001:db8:0:2::/64 [1/0] via 2001:db8::3, eth1, weight 1, 00:46:21
+   B>* 2001:db8:0:3::/64 [20/0] via 2001:db8::5, eth2 (vrf Managment), weight 1, 00:46:16
+   B>* 2001:db8:1::/48 [20/0] via fe80::5200:ff:fe02:3, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:46:13
+   B>* 2001:db8:2::/48 [20/0] via fe80::5200:ff:fe02:3, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:46:13
+   C>* fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth1, 00:46:27
+
+As we can see even if both VRF LAN1 and LAN2 has the same import RTs we are able
+to select which routes are effectively imported and installed.
