(1) Inter VRF route filtering

Routes between VRFs can be filtered. Routes denied by the filter are not added to the routing table.

(a) How to Apply Filters

The routes between VRFs are filtered by using ipv6 import inter-vrf.

The routes permitted by this filtering are added to the routing table. If there are no applicable filters or every filter gives a deny result, the route is not added.

The table below shows the configuration command used to filter the route between VRFs.

Table 30-18: Configuration Commands for Inter VRF Route Filtering

Command name

Filtered routes

ipv6 import inter-vrf

Routes from a VRF specified as route-map are filtered.

(b) Route attributes that can be changed by VRF route filtering

The following table describes the changeable attributes of routes that have been imported from another VRF or the global network.

(c) Configuring Routes Between VRF

Apply an inter-VRF route filter. Routes imported from another VRF or the global network are added to the local VRF routing table according to the filter conditions. For an imported route, the VRF ID in the source routing table is also used in the destination routing table. Note that the protocol type of imported routes becomes extra-vrf.

If the match vrf configuration command is specified in the inter-VRF route filter, the VRF ID is compared against the source routing table. If you do not specify the match vrf command, the same filter conditions are applied to all other VRFs and global networks.

(d) Protocol-based advertisement of VRF routes

If an advertised route filter is specified for a protocol, routes are advertised from the routing table of the VRF where the protocol is running. To use routes imported from another VRF or the global network, specify extra-vrf as the protocol in the redistribute configuration command.
