[c-nsp] VRF Configs - Catalyst 3550

[Jack.W.Parks at alltel.com]

What image are you using SMI or EMI?  I think you need a EMI image that
supports Multi-VRF CE (or VRF-Lite).

What are your wanting to use Multi-VRF CE (or VRF-Lite) or L3VPN(w/ MPLS
signaling)?
(1)  It looks as if a 3550 doesn't support label operations.

If you are trying to route from Vlan 200 on Switch A to int fa0/23 to
int fa0/23 on switch B to int vlan 200, you will need to add "ip vrf
forwarding aaaab" to the Interface VLAN 200 configuration on both
switches.  In your current configuration, you have effectively created
three separate networks.  Test with "ping vrf aaaab 172.16.1.2" from
Switch A after adding "ip vrf forwarding aaaab" to the Interface VLAN
200 configuration on both switches.

Hello,

Today I have been trying to setup a vrf session between 2 Catalyst 3550
Switches, what with no success!


What's wrong?

Thanks

Alexandra Alvarado


PD: The config is like this:


SWITCH A
----------------

!
ip vrf aaaab
 rd 100:1
 route-target export 100:1
 route-target import 100:1

!
interface FastEthernet0/6
 switchport access vlan 200
 switchport mode access
 switchport nonegotiate
 switchport port-security
 switchport port-security maximum 10
 no cdp enable
 spanning-tree bpduguard enable
 spanning-tree guard root
end

!
interface Vlan200
 ip address 172.16.1.5 255.255.255.252
end

!
interface FastEthernet0/23
 no switchport
 ip vrf forwarding aaaab
 ip address 200.93.195.1 255.255.255.252
 no cdp enable
end

!
ip route vrf aaaab 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.252 200.93.195.2

SWITCH B
----------------

!
ip vrf aaaab
 rd 100:1
 route-target export 100:1
 route-target import 100:1

!
interface FastEthernet0/6
 switchport access vlan 200
 switchport mode access
 switchport nonegotiate
 switchport port-security
 switchport port-security maximum 10
 no cdp enable
 spanning-tree bpduguard enable
 spanning-tree guard root
end

!
interface Vlan200
 ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.252
end

!
interface FastEthernet0/23
 no switchport
 ip vrf forwarding aaaab
 ip address 200.93.195.2 255.255.255.252
