Verifying That Virtual Router Routing Instances Are Working

Purpose

After creating a virtual router routing instance, verify that it has been set up properly.

Action

Use the show route instance command to list all the routing instances and their properties:

user@switch> show route instance

Instance             Type
         Primary RIB                                     Active/holddown/hidden
master               forwarding     
         inet.0                                          4/0/1

__juniper_private1__ forwarding     
         __juniper_private1__.inet.0                     1/0/3

__juniper_private2__ forwarding     
         __juniper_private2__.inet.0                     0/0/1

__juniper_private3__ forwarding     
         __juniper_private3__.inet.0                     1/0/2

__juniper_private4__ forwarding     
         __juniper_private4__.inet.0                     4/0/2

__master.anon__      forwarding     

r1                 virtual-router 

r2                 virtual-router

Use the show route forwarding-table command to view the forwarding table information for each routing instance:

user@switch> show route forwarding-table

Routing table: r1---qfabric.inet
Internet:
Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index NhRef Netif
default            perm     0                    rjct  1628     1
0.0.0.0/32         perm     0                    dscd  1626     1
224.0.0.0/4        perm     0                    mdsc  1627     1
224.0.0.1/32       perm     0 224.0.0.1          mcst  1623     1
255.255.255.255/32 perm     0                    bcst  1624     1

Meaning

The output displays the routing table information and confirms that the virtual router routing instances have been created and the links are up.
