Hi I'm trying to figure out how to propagate VRF routes between two routers and I'm hoping someone can clue me in.
I have two routers directly connected via IGP(ospf/eigrp) and iBGP. I have one interface per router as a member of a VRF and im having problems import/exporting routes from one VRF to another.
R1:
interface Vlan204
ip vrf forwarding VRF1
ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252
end
sh ip vrf
Name Default RD Interfaces
VRF1 10271:100 Vl203
Vl204
VRF Table ID = 4
Export VPN route-target communities
RT:xx271:110
Import VPN route-target communities
RT:xx271:100
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R2:
interface Vlan305
ip vrf VRF1
ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252
end
sh ip vrf
Name Default RD Interfaces
VRF1 10271:110 Vl305
VRF Table ID = 4
Export VPN route-target communities
RT:xx271:100
Import VPN route-target communities
RT:xx271:110
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point all is working, connected routes appear in the correct VRF instance on each router, my problem is how to I get R1 VRF to share its routes with R2 VRF and vice versa.
I tried using iBGP since i already have it running but it didnt work, I had the following on both routers.
address-family ipv4 vrf VRF1
redistribute connected
no synchronization
exit-address-family
how can i pass routes from one VRF to another with two directly connected routers?
also for internet connectivity i have one bgp upstream on each router do i have to inject a default route for each VRF or can it use my global routing table to make a decision on which bgp peer to use ?
thanks paul
