== OSPF problems ==
 * Experienced problems where a router, connected to service provider MPLS using ospf area x, running vrf-lite, and connecting to area 0 on internal network would not show the area 0 routes.
   * Problem was caused by ospf superbackbone rules tha.t kicked in due to putting the ospf instance in a vrf
   * Sollution under ospf instance use command #capability vrf-lite

VRF

  • Visualizing a router. This is not about MPLS, although that is where the VRF concept comes from.
  • http://www.shafagh.net/2009/10/vrf-lite.html

  • Once a router has VRF software the interface must be upgraded to support VRF.
    •       (config)#vrf upgrade-cli
  • Sample Switch config with bgp and vrf.

Switch(config)# router bgp 800
Switch(config-router)# address-family ipv4 vrf vl2
Switch(config-router-af)# redistribute ospf 2 match internal
Switch(config-router-af)# neighbor 83.0.0.3 remote-as 100
Switch(config-router-af)# neighbor 83.0.0.3 activate
Switch(config-router-af)# network 8.8.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-router-af)# exit
