Guest VRF issues

hi!

I am trying to set up a vrf for guest networks and am having issues on one of the switches.

A quick overview (since I dont really know what i am doing )

we have two sites that are connected via lanex. each site has a 3750.

The only internet connectivity is the remote site (so all the users at the local site route out through the remote site to get to the internet)

I need to make a guest network at the local site using our current infrastructure but it cannot have any access to our network resources.

I have created a vlan here (vl166) and on the remote switch

ip vrf TRAINING

didnt do any route distribution

then added "ip vrf forwarding TRAINTING" and readded the ip to the vlan interface

gave it an ip address of 172.16.166.1

did the exact same thing on the remote switch but with interface address of .2

enabled ospf on both switches.... router ospf 3 vrf TRAINING

I cant ping from one interface to the other... when I try pinging from the remote switch I get :

CISCO3750MCI-1#ping vrf TRAINING 172.16.166.1

% VRF does not have a usable source address

CISCO3750MCI-1#show ip vrf interfaces TRAINING

Interface              IP-Address      VRF                              Protocol

Vl16                   172.16.16.2     TRAINING                        down

I cant see why the interface is down. Nothing in the logs (even when I do no shut... it just accepts the command but doesnt come up)

Thoughts?
