these VRF without RD 

you need to add RD to VRF to activate it

[oscardenizjensen]

I have added RD, and even added an interface to the VRF, but still getting same error

vrf vrf-inet
rd 10.0.9.2:2

interface Loopback101

vrf vrf-inet

I try to push this
pool vrf vrf-inet ipv4 GRP1

exclude 250.250.0.1 250.250.0.10

OK, 
in IOS XE I usually add VRF under the pool so the config will be 

pool vrf vrf-inet ipv4 GRP1

vrf vrf-inet
network 250.250.0.0/16 default-router 250.250.0.1
exclude 250.250.0.1 250.250.0.10

it can same thing with IOS XR (sorry I dont in lab any platform run IOS XR to test it)

MHM

[oscardenizjensen]

No problem :). That option doesn't seem to be available on XR.

I check it seem that the Pool is different than DHCP server config in IOS XR 
I found this cisco community it can help you

Goodluck friend 
MHM

[oscardenizjensen]

That is for default table, if I have pools for default table with basically same config, but just says vrf default, and they commit no problem. The problem is if I try to configure a pool for the vrf unfortunately.

[MHM Cisco World]

I think I found issue here 

I Was right we need to specify vrf but ios xe we can not specify it under pool so you need to specify it under dhcp ipv4 

Check if there is vrf command under dhcp ipv4

It is weird, if I change subnet values from 250.250 to 10.250 the commit goes through

[MHM Cisco World]

It work with add vrf or without it ?

 router accpet any IP except if it multicast'  so I dont know why it reject 250.250.x.x but it private IP you can use any IP you want other than 250.

It is something to do with that specific subnet I guess. It is inside the 240.0.0.0/4 subnet

240.0.0.0/4

240.0.0.0 – 255.255.255.254

Sorry but are yoh add vrf under dhcp ipv4 as I mentioned before?

All these prefix under same vrf?

Is there any interface in this subnet?

Thanks 

MHM

[oscardenizjensen]

No we are not adding vrf to the dhcp setting only to the pool. In big picture this is for BNG setup so defining vrf under DHCP is not needed in XR. 

We are in early testings now and I was just testing with the prefixes. We will probably use multiple prefixes in the same vrf in the end.
