Cisco Nexus 9000 Series VRF Configuration Assistance

Good afternoon,

I have a Cisco Nexus C93180YC-EX inside a closed enclosure that I have to test.  I am currently trying to establish a VRF connection between two interfaces (Ethernet1/13 and Ethernet1/15 via copper loopback cable for example) to verify the cable continuity.  I previously was using a Cisco Catalyst 3850 so the similarity between the two has not been as close as I would have hoped.  Can anyone offer help on what I need to configure and/or enable?

Below I have included a configuration I believed would work, however, I was still unable to successfully ping the other interface.  Can anyone let me know if maybe there is a feature I need to enable or something in addition the interface configs
