Redistribution of "global" OSPF into a VRF

[m-menozzi]

Im' trying to redistribute several routes learned via OSPF into a VRF. This VRF use EIGRP as routing protocol.

I'm not able to see any entry in the vrf table.

Have anybody done a similar things or can point me to samples and tips ?

Thanks

Marco

This is what I have done:

ip vrf 1

rd 1000:1

route-target export 1000:1

route-target import 1000:1

!

ip vrf 2

rd 1001:2

route-target export 1001:2

route-target import 1001:2

I do not see any redistribute statements in your config. Still the better way to reach out of the vrf is to use static routes like

ip route vrf test 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 20.x.x.x global (To reach outside the vrf test)

ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Ethernet0/0 10.10.10.6 (Back route into vrf)

Well thanks; effectively I found also after several tests that this seems to be the unique method to distribute global networks into a vrf.

From your example it is difficult to see which network is running EIGRP as there are no network statement under the EIGRP process plus your AS numbers under the interfaces do not match you EIGRP "AS" number i.e. 1000 vs 2000.

Apart from this I would suggest you exchange routes between VRF's by doing the relevant import and export between the VRF's i.e. For VRF 1 to see routes from VRF 2 and visa versa add the following to the vrf config :

ip vrf 1

rout-target import 1000:2

ip vrf 2

route-target import 1000:1

If the two routing processes are within the same VRF make use of the redistribution command .

Hi,

I don't understand very well your question, because I really don't know if you are trying to configure VPN's over MPLS but, maybe this can help you.

When you are configuring VPN's over MPLS:

- Supported by VPN aware routing protocols: eBGP, OSPF, RIPv2, Static Routes. The EIGRP is not a supported VPN, vrf Protocol.

- When you are configuring VPN's over MPLS you have to configure BGP and the address family for BGP.

- Also you have to be very careful when you are assigning OSPF to a vrf.

An example:

router ospf 1000 vrf Customer_ABC

network 192.168.230.16 0.0.0.7 area z

redistribute bgp xxx

router bgp xxx

address-family ipv4 vrf Customer_ABC

redistribute ospf 1000

There's more to configure in bgp, like neighbors address family vpnv4, etc.

Sorry if this don't help you or if you already knew this.

Regards,

Hector
