Summary
Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is a technology included in Internet Protocol (IP) network routers that enables multiple instances of a routing table to exist in a virtual router and work simultaneously.This functionality increases connectivity by enabling network paths to be segmented without using multiple devices. VRF acts as a logical router. But, while a logical router may include many routing tables, a VRF instance uses only a single VRF table.
Note: VRF is additional software on some devices that can be installed from the System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]] page.
VRF
The VRF page is used to set up VRF instances.
To add a new instance - enter 'VRF name' below to the Add New Instance section and click 'Add' button:
After clicking 'Add' you will be redirected to the newly added VRF instance configuration page.
VRF configuration
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns VRF instance on or off. |
| Table | integer [1..253 - 255..4294967295]; default: none | Unique routing table. 253-255 range is reserved for the default routing tables. |
| Link | physical interface; default: none | Devices which will be used for routing and forwarding. |
