All,
I have a situation where I have a vrf lite tunnel, using gre, to connect two networks together. The reason for this is that the new network needs a default route, outside our network.
At the end of the vrf tunnel, at the remote end, we have patched it into the core switch. I need for the global routing table of the core switch to talk to the vrf table at the other end. At the end of the vrf router I configured an interface in that vrf, and then connected this to the core, in the same LAN, but this end wasn't in a vrf. I have set up static routes between these, some using the vrf statement and some not, depending on what way they go.
From the main, global core switch, I can ping stuff in my vrf at the other end of the gre.
At the vrf end at the remote site, I can ping to a loopback that is a member of the vrf, but no further to the global routing table.
I really need this to work asap and am reading even as I send this.
I have heard that route leaking may be the answer, and I don't use any route-import/exports here.
The fact that it works one-way tells me the routing is in place but I'm really scratching my head now.
I'm sure/hope this is a really common problem.
Does anyone have any ideas that could put me out of this misery?
I hope I have explained enough, without a config or diagram to give someone an idea of what I'm trying to achieve?
Can anyone help?
Kind regards,
James
