Hi

Anyone know if it's possible, on a Sup720-3B, use two VRF
and create a MPLS VPN ?

I have tested but the route into the vrf are not distribued ..

My configuration:

1 Cisco 6500 with Sup720-3B
1 Cisco 2611
1 Cisco 3745

Cisco 2611 are connected to 6500
Cisco 3745 are connected to the same 6500

My problems:

The cisco 6500 don't diffuse the route:


C3745-1#sh ip bgp sum

and same on 2611, hi don't see the route of the 3745



Where is my error ?

Hi

Thanks for your answer, but no i don't understand why that's don't work.

Yes, each VRF have a separate routing table, but into the 6500 i have:

ip vrf BI_C2621-1
rd 8487:30
route-target export 8487:100
route-target import 8487:100
!
ip vrf BI_C3745-1
rd 8487:31
route-target export 8487:100
route-target import 8487:100


You see that the route-target export/import are same into all vrf !

And the same config work perfectly with a Cisco 3640 :


ip vrf DGS001
rd 65500:1
route-target export 65500:34
route-target import 65500:34
route-target import 65500:35
!
ip vrf DGS004
rd 65500:4
route-target export 65500:34
route-target import 65500:34
route-target import 65500:35

interface Serial0/1:0
ip vrf forwarding DGS001
ip address 172.20.2.249 255.255.255.252

interface Serial1/3:0
ip vrf forwarding DGS004
ip address 172.20.2.241 255.255.255.252
!

address-family ipv4 vrf DGS004
redistribute connected
neighbor 172.20.2.242 remote-as 65500
neighbor 172.20.2.242 activate
neighbor 172.20.2.242 as-override
no synchronization
exit-address-family
!
address-family ipv4 vrf DGS001
redistribute connected
neighbor 172.20.2.250 remote-as 65500
neighbor 172.20.2.250 activate
neighbor 172.20.2.250 as-override
no synchronization
exit-address-family


This config work ... VRF DGS004 see DGS001

My guess is that the reason it works on the 3640 is because of a very
serious bug with severe security implications. The entire reason for using
VRF's is to keep routing instances completely separate.

Regarding "completely separate":-

I have been reading about MPLS VPNs recently and
am far from clueful however -

I got the idea, that while different vrfs were seperate
by default (let's say), that it was posible to configure
leakage. This could be useful for example for
a network service provider who also wanted to
provide say email or file store or other centralised
services to a number of customers.
