Telnet to different Vrfs from a PE

[NAVIN PARWAL]

Folks,

Is there any enhanced command on a cisco router that would let a system administrator telnet to devices in different VRFs within the provider network (no restrictions from the CE side).

Thanks

Hello,

use "telnet 10.1.1.1 /vrf VRFname" or even "10.1.1.1 /vrf VRFname".

Make sure the IP address of the PE inside the VRF VRFname is announced through IP routing inside the VRF.

Just sidenote: other useful troubleshooting commands are:

ping vrf VRFname ...

traceroute vrf VRFname ...

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.
