General IP Routing Commands

vrf definition <vrf-name> [force]
no vrf definition <vrf-name> [force]

Creates the VRF.

switch (config) # vrf definition my-vrf
switch (config vrf definition my-vrf) #

• 63 VRFs are supported aside from the default VRF
• In case of "mgmt" VRF creation, CLI will ask permission to save the current configuration (behave like "configuration write") and reload the system. If "force" option was passed, then no confirmation is needed.
  After reboot, mgmt VRF will be created with management interfaces in it. Also, clustered, mDNS, OpenFlow API and FTP/TELNET servers will run in managemtn VRF when started. All other services does not change their existing configuration.
  
  In case of management VRF removal, the CLI will ask permission to remove services that running in management VRF, save new configuration, and reboot the switch. If "force" option was passed, no confirmation is needed.
  
  After reboot, mgmt VRF will be removed and  management interfaces will be moved to "default" VRF. Also, clusterd, mDNS, OpenFlow API, and FTP/TELNET servers will run in "default" VRF when started. Other services that were enabled in management VRF will be disabled, except ones that are enabled by default (i.e., "ntp", "snmp-server", "tacacs-server", "radius-server", "ldap", "web", and so forth)—they will be reset and enabled in "default" VRF. The logic of moving/shutting down services from removed VRF could be applied for ALL user-defined VRF`s.

Notes

• If a routing-context is configured, the user does not have to explicitly specify the VRF name parameter in this or any other VRF command
• If no routing-context is configured and the user does not specify the VRF name, default VRF is used

ip routing [vrf <vrf-name>]

switch (config) # ip routing vrf my-vrf

• RD must be configured to enable IP routing on the VRF

ip-prefix

IP address

netmask

There are two possible ways to input the mask:

• /<length> (e.g. /24)
• Network address (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

next-hop-ip-address

IP address of the next hop

null0

Sets a static drop-route

distance

Administrative distance assigned to route. Options include:

• No parameter - route is assigned a default administrative distance of 1
• 1-255 - the administrative distance assigned to route

Default
