That is a convention used here +for emphasis of the device type, similar to use of 'br' in bridge names. + +1. Create a VRF + + To instantiate a VRF device and associate it with a table: + $ ip link add dev NAME type vrf table ID + + Remember to add the ip rules as well: + $ ip ru add oif NAME table 10 + $ ip ru add iif NAME table 10 + $ ip -6 ru add oif NAME table 10 + $ ip -6 ru add iif NAME table 10 + + Without the rules route lookups are not directed to the table. + + For example: + $ ip link add dev vrf-blue type vrf table 10 + $ ip ru add pref 200 oif vrf-blue table 10 + $ ip ru add pref 200 iif vrf-blue table 10 + $ ip -6 ru add pref 200 oif vrf-blue table 10 + $ ip -6 ru add pref 200 iif vrf-blue table 10 + + +2. List VRFs + + To list VRFs that have been created: + $ ip [-d] link show type vrf + NOTE: The -d option is needed to show the table id + + For example: + $ ip -d link show type vrf + 11: vrf-mgmt: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 + vrf table 1 addrgenmode eui64 + 12: vrf-red: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 + vrf table 10 addrgenmode eui64 + 13: vrf-blue: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 + vrf table 66 addrgenmode eui64 + 14: vrf-green: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether e6:28:b8:63:70:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 + vrf table 81 addrgenmode eui64 + + + Or in brief output: + + $ ip -br link show type vrf + vrf-mgmt UP 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 + vrf-red UP b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 + vrf-blue UP 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c + vrf-green UP e6:28:b8:63:70:bb + + +3. Assign a Network Interface to a VRF + + Network interfaces are assigned to a VRF by enslaving the netdevice to a + VRF device: + $ ip link set dev NAME master VRF-NAME + + On enslavement connected and local routes are automatically moved to the + table associated with the VRF device. + + For example: + $ ip link set dev eth0 master vrf-mgmt + + +4. Show Devices Assigned to a VRF + + To show devices that have been assigned to a specific VRF add the master + option to the ip command: + $ ip link show master VRF-NAME + + For example: + $ ip link show master vrf-red + 3: eth1: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + 4: eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + 7: eth5: mtu 1500 qdisc noop master vrf-red state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + + + Or using the brief output: + $ ip -br link show master vrf-red + eth1 UP 02:00:00:00:02:02 + eth2 UP 02:00:00:00:02:03 + eth5 DOWN 02:00:00:00:02:06 + + +5. Show Neighbor Entries for a VRF + + To list neighbor entries associated with devices enslaved to a VRF device + add the master option to the ip command: + $ ip [-6] neigh show master VRF-NAME + + For example: + $ ip neigh show master vrf-red + 10.2.1.254 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE + 10.2.2.254 dev eth2 lladdr 5e:54:01:6a:ee:80 REACHABLE + + $ ip -6 neigh show master vrf-red + 2002:1::64 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE + + +6. Show Addresses for a VRF + + To show addresses for interfaces associated with a VRF add the master + option to the ip command: + $ ip addr show master VRF-NAME + + For example: + $ ip addr show master vrf-red + 3: eth1: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + inet 10.2.1.2/24 brd 10.2.1.255 scope global eth1 + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + inet6 2002:1::2/120 scope global + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64 scope link + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + 4: eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + inet 10.2.2.2/24 brd 10.2.2.255 scope global eth2 + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + inet6 2002:2::2/120 scope global + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64 scope link + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + 7: eth5: mtu 1500 qdisc noop master vrf-red state DOWN group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + + Or in brief format: + $ ip -br addr show master vrf-red + eth1 UP 10.2.1.2/24 2002:1::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64 + eth2 UP 10.2.2.2/24 2002:2::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64 + eth5 DOWN + + +7. Show Routes for a VRF + + To show routes for a VRF use the ip command to display the table associated + with the VRF device: + $ ip [-6] route show table ID + + For example: + $ ip route show table vrf-red + prohibit default + broadcast 10.2.1.0 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 + 10.2.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 + local 10.2.1.2 dev eth1 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.1.2 + broadcast 10.2.1.255 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 + broadcast 10.2.2.0 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2 + 10.2.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2 + local 10.2.2.2 dev eth2 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.2.2 + broadcast 10.2.2.255 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2 + + $ ip -6 route show table vrf-red + local 2002:1:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + local 2002:1::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + 2002:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium + local 2002:2:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + local 2002:2::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + 2002:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium + local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + local fe80::ff:fe00:202 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + local fe80::ff:fe00:203 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium + fe80::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium + fe80::/64 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium + ff00::/8 dev vrf-red metric 256 pref medium + ff00::/8 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium + ff00::/8 dev eth2 metric 256 pref medium + + +8. Route Lookup for a VRF + + A test route lookup can be done for a VRF by adding the oif option to ip: + $ ip [-6] route get oif VRF-NAME ADDRESS + + For example: + $ ip route get 10.2.1.40 oif vrf-red + 10.2.1.40 dev eth1 table vrf-red src 10.2.1.2 + cache + + $ ip -6 route get 2002:1::32 oif vrf-red + 2002:1::32 from :: dev eth1 table vrf-red proto kernel src 2002:1::2 metric 256 pref medium + + +9. Removing Network Interface from a VRF + + Network interfaces are removed from a VRF by breaking the enslavement to + the VRF device: + $ ip link set dev NAME nomaster + + Connected routes are moved back to the default table and local entries are + moved to the local table. + + For example: + $ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Commands used in this example: + +cat >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables <
