Could anybody give me any advise on injecting a static default route into vrf.
The static route is to the internet, I can't enable vrf forwading on the fa interface as other users also use this internet connection.
I am configuring a 7206 VXR 12.3(26) and have attached a copy of the config
Any help gratefully received

Hi
I think you have to specify the route as this
ip route vrf delegate_wireless fa0/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 194.154.168.1 global
it tells the router to to use a next hop that is not part of the vrf.
Also, don't forget that the return traffic has to be routed out to the vrf.
Something like this.
ip route a.b.c.d

You have the correct syntax ie âip route vrf (vrf name) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (internet router / address)â
I don't suppose you running any sort of dynamic routing?

Hi
We're not running on dynamic routing on this particular router.
The static route I've configured doesn't show up in the vrf routing table, do you think its because I don't have VRF forwarding enabled on the internet fa interface (which I can't do as other non vrf networks use this aswell)
Thanks for your help

What does "sh ip route vrf (vrf name)" show?
Does you internet router participate in the same vrf?

Hi
Sh ip route vrf (vrf name) just shows the eigrp routes, the vrf static route is not visible
The internet router doesn't participate in any vrf. I'm trying to get the traffic to 'leave' the vrf and route it to the internet.
Thanks for your help

Mikael, must say i did not even think of the tunnel ;o)
I would have just setup bgp between the 2 with "default-originate" on the internet router.

HI
what mean of tu1 in the vrf
ip route a.b.c.d
e.g
interface gi1/0.100
ip vrf forwarding access-to-internet
ip add 10.252.254.2 255.255.255.252
how can i set a static route in this case for the traffic which is return from the internet?
thanks!
