Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 643)

While configuring an AF, you can optionally configure the maximum routes that are associated with the
AF. If the max-route is not configured, the default value of maximum routes will be configured for the
VRF instance based on the system-max value of ip-route-vrf or ip6-route-vrf .
To configure address families, enter the following commands:
Brocade(config)# vrf customer-1
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-1)# rd 1.1.1.1:100
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-1)# address-family ipv4
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-1-ipv4)# exit-address-family
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-1)# exit-vrf
Brocade(config)#
Brocade(config)# vrf customer-2
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-2)# rd 1:200
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-2)# address-family ipv4 max-route 2000
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-2-ipv4)# exit-address-family
Brocade(config-vrf-customer-2)# exit-vrf
Brocade(config)#
Syntax: [no] address-family { ipv4 | ipv6 } [ max-route max-value ]
When you specify the maximum routes of an AF using max-route , the number of max-routes cannot
change once it is configured. To change the number of routes, you must delete the AF and recreate the
AF configuration. Attempting to reset the maximum number of routes results in the following error:
Brocade(config-vrf-customer1)# address-family ipv4 max-route 2000
Error: IPv4 Address Family is already configured with max-route 1000
Brocade(config-vrf-customer1)#
Configuring routing protocols for new Multi-VRF instance
Configure Multi-VRF specific parameters under the specific address family.
For IPv4 address family, configure:
• static route
• static arp
• igmp
• multicast
For IPv6 address family, configure:
• static route
• ipv6 neighbor
• multicast
Assigning a VRF routing instance to an L3 interface
After configuring a VRF instance on a FastIron router, the VRF instance must be assigned to one or
more Layer 3 interface (physical or virtual Ethernet interfaces). When a VRF instance is assigned to an
interface, all IP addresses are deleted, and will trigger cache deletion, route deletion and associated
cleanup. You must re-configure the IP address and interface properties after assigning a VRF instance
to the L3 interface.
The following example assigns VRF customer-1 to interface 7/1:
Brocade(config-if-e1000-7/1)# vrf forwarding customer-1
Warning: All IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (including link-local) on this interface have
been removed
Brocade(config-if-e1000-7/1)#
Syntax: [no] vrf forwarding vrf-name
