Merging VRFs

[lkadlik]

Hi,

If you merge VRF A with VRF B and VRF C BUT VRF B and C are not merged together can VRF B see the routes/information for VRF C?

Or does VRF B and VRF C ONLY see the information for itself and VRF A?

If you merge a new vrf into an existing one do the routes reconverge for the exissting one ( ie would they notice)?

Thanks

no, uless you do export/import between B and C

What is VRF B and C have the same ip addresses? 

Will A be able to distinguish which is which?  Or will there be routing issues between "A and B" and "A and C"?

I am trying to come up with a way to allow a host on VRF A to talk to hosts on multiple other VRFs, each of which has the same IPs in use, but without causing a routing issue and without causing the other VRFs to see each other ( ie I only want communication to work between VRF A and each of the other VRFs individually).

Thanks
