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. + +******** +Topology +******** + +.. image:: /_static/images/inter-vrf-routing-vrf-lite.png + :width: 70% + :align: left + :alt: Network Topology Diagram + +IP Schema +========= + ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ +| Device-A | Device-B | IPv4 Network | IPv6 Network | ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ +| Core | LAN1 | 10.1.1.0/30 | 2001:db8::/127 | ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ +| Core | LAN2 | 172.16.2.0/30 | 2001:db8::2/127 | ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ +| Core | Management | 192.168.3.0/30 | 2001:db8::4/127 | ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ +| Core | ISP | 10.2.2.0/30 | 2001:db8::6/127 | ++----------+------------+----------------+------------------+ + +RD & RT Schema +============== + ++------------+-----------+-----------+ +| VRF | RD | RT | ++------------+-----------+-----------+ +| LAN1 | 64496:1 | 64496:1 | ++------------+-----------+-----------+ +| LAN2 | 64496:2 | 64496:2 | ++------------+-----------+-----------+ +| Management | 64496:50 | 64496:50 | ++------------+-----------+-----------+ +| Internet | 64496:100 | 64496:100 | ++------------+-----------+-----------+ + +************** +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.

+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. + +********** +Appendix-A +********** + +Full configuration from all devices +----------------------------------- + +- Core +^^^^^^ + +.. code-block:: none + + set
