multi-VRF for security

[raloraimi]

Hi,

I?ve two different systems at one remote site.. I?m thinking of connecting the two systems by using one small router (Cisco 1800) which will connect both systems to different uplinks.

The question now can i use mulit-VRF feature to split the routing process between them to enhance the security coz one of those systems is critical? And can I use VRF with static routes?

Thanks

yes this can be done but I'd check that your IOS supports this. VRF lite can be used with static routes. The below is an example of the sort of config you will require.

ip vrf TEST1

rd 11:11

ip vrf TEST2

rd 22:22

interface Serial1

description VRF TEST1

ip vrf forwarding TEST1

ip address xxxx

interface Serial2

description VRF TEST2

ip vrf forwarding TEST2

ip address xxxx

ip route xxxx xxxx xxxx vrf TEST1

ip route xxxx xxxx xxxx vrf TEST2
