can we create multiple vrf/address families with eigrp numbered mode.

[ahmedsid432135621]

i am trying to create vrf and have eigrp routing enabled. my IOS doesnt support eigrp named mode. configured like this, but cannnot see any eigrp debug events/neighbors forming or any comms.

router eigrp 100
no auto-summary
!
address-family ipv4 vrf red
network 10.0.12.0 0.0.0.255
network 10.0.24.0 0.0.0.255
no auto-summary
exit-address-family
!
router eigrp 200
no auto-summary
!
address-family ipv4 vrf green
network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.255
network 172.16.23.0 0.0.0.255
no auto-summary
exit-address-family
!
router eigrp 300
no auto-summary
!
address-family ipv4 vrf blue
network 192.168.12.0
network 192.168.23.0
no auto-summary
exit-address-family

Hello,

this should work. Make sure the 'autonomous-system' keyword is added to the address family, and the corresponding interfaces are in the correct VRFs. Here is an example:

R1

ip vrf red
rd 1:1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip vrf forwarding red
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252
duplex auto
speed auto
media-type rj45
!
router eigrp 100
!
address-family ipv4 vrf red autonomous-system 100
network 0.0.0.0
exit-address-family
!

R2

ip vrf red
rd 1:1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip vrf forwarding red
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.252
duplex auto
speed auto
media-type rj45
!
router eigrp 100
!
address-family ipv4 vrf red autonomous-system 100
network 0.0.0.0
exit-address-family
!

yes, you can create number mode, named mode only get an advantage when you have a large number of peers to configure. otherwise not a big change.(less admin task)

R1(config-router)#address-family ipv4 vrf red ?
<cr>

not getting the option for AS, IOS version  Version 12.4(24)T5, 

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

12.4 is (obviously) ancient. Are your interfaces in the correct VRF ? If they are, you run into the limitations of the 12.4 version, and your only option is to upgrade.

so why is this command "address-family ipv4 vrf green" still alllowed, is there a way around to do it with this IOS, im guessing the vrf feature was still around at the time of this IOS.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

not sure why the 'vrf' keyword is there, but apparently doesn't work. Can you post the entire configuration you have ?

Hello @ahmedsid432135621 ,

try to add the autonomous-system command within the address-family vrf green context.

Hope to help
