Problems with Inter VRF Routing between different sites

Hello,

i am having problems with inter vrf routing through my network. i have two vrf's named central and cust1 and i like to enable bi directional routing between both vrfs.

i configured the vrfs on side a

ip vrf CENTRAL

rd 200:1

route-target export 200:1

route-target import 200:1

route-target import 200:2

!

ip vrf Cust1

rd 200:2

route-target export 200:2

route-target import 200:2

route-target import 200:1

in the routing table of vrf central in side a i see the routes from the vrf cust on side b.

Routing Table: CENTRAL Side a

Gateway of last resort is not set

      10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 6 subnets

O IA     10.0.128.0 [110/11] via 172.16.128.11, 02:16:28, FastEthernet0/1.200

B        10.0.129.0 [200/11] via 150.1.5.5, 02:16:28

B        10.0.130.0 [200/0] via 150.1.7.7, 02:16:28

B        10.0.201.0

           [20/11] via 172.17.128.11 (Cust1), 01:08:03, FastEthernet0/1.201

Routing Table: Cust1 Side a

Gateway of last resort is not set

      10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 6 subnets

           [20/11] via 172.16.128.11 (CENTRAL), 00:40:04, FastEthernet0/1.200

i checked the bgp table of the router at side a, and it looks good.

Rack1R4#show bgp vpnv4 unicast rd 200:1

BGP table version is 265, local router ID is 150.1.4.4

Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,

              r RIB-failure, S Stale, m multipath, b backup-path, x best-external, f RT-Filter

Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight Path

Route Distinguisher: 200:1 (default for vrf CENTRAL)

*> 10.0.128.0/24    172.16.128.11           11         32768 ?

*>i10.0.203.0/24    150.1.7.7                0    100      0 ?

but on the route reflector which is also at side a i don't have the route as well as on side b.

Hello Alex,

configuration of routers would be helpful. Is topology same as in your previous post?

Hi Blau Grana,

yes it is the same topology, R5 is my site B, R4 is site A and R1 is the route reflector. It's working now, i had to to import the route target on both sites. I thought it would be sufficiant to import it on the  site a and send it through the route reflector out the the other sites.

R4

ip vrf CENTRAL

rd 200:1

export map VPN_CENTRAL_EXPORT

route-target export 200:1

route-target import 200:1

route-target import 200:2

route-target import 200:3

ip vrf Cust1

rd 200:2

route-target export 200:2

route-target import 200:2

route-target import 200:50

R5

ip vrf CENTRAL

rd 200:1

export map VPN_CENTRAL_EXPORT

route-target export 200:1

route-target import 200:1

route-target import 200:2

ip vrf Cust1

rd 200:2

route-target export 200:2

route-target import 200:2

route-target import 200:50

OK, I am glad you manage to solve it on your own and thank for sharing solution, it will help others.

Best Regards
