VRF and VRf-lite.

Does anyone know the difference the 2 features?
Or where to find it out?

The 2nd one is supported by the Catalyst 4500.

TIA,

Alex.

VRF requires MPLS, but VRF-lite does not.

OK, "lite" refers to non-MPLS.
And VRF is a super-set of VRF-lite.
I have seen so far that more features has been added to VFR by time from older release of IOS: for instance "DHCP server
per VRF" and one by one a lot of other features (not strictly related to routing). So "lite" doesn't constrain this new
features but MPLS environment, does it?

Thank you Walter, your answer are always appreciated.
