RUT951 VRF
The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT9M_R_00.07.09.4.
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: Internet status is additional software that can be installed from the System → Package Manager page.
