Allow network reachability to vrf interface over OSPF

[Kenneth Goh]

Please help, what configuration is required so that I am able to ping from R3's

192.168.0.2 to R2's interface Gi1

that is running in

VRF INET

with IP address

192.168.1.1/30

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @Kenneth Goh ,

Everything looks as it should. According to the traceroute output the packet makes it to R1, but something goes wrong with R2. Could you enable

debug ip icmp

on R2

ping 192.168.1.1

from R3 and see what messages are logged on R2.

Can you also tell us what version and what platform are R1 and R2?

Regards,

[Kenneth Goh]

Hi @Kenneth Goh ,

Please add the following to R2:

ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.2.1

This should fix it.

Hi @Harold Ritter 

Great, it works, will need all the routes below. Thanks for all the help!

R1#sh running-config | in ip route

ip route vrf inet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.252 GigabitEthernet2 192.168.2.2

R2#sh run | in ip route
ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.2.1
