Configuring the IGP in the VRF Context

After creating a VRF, you can access it as if it were a virtual router for the purpose of configuring the IGP.

If you are in the context of the virtual router that has the VRF, you access the VRF as follows:

host1(config)#virtual-router :vrfa
host1:default:vrfa(config)#

If you are not in the context of the virtual router that has the VRF, you access the VRF as follows:

host1(config)#virtual-router boston:vrfa
host1:boston:vrfa(config)#

The following commands illustrate one way to configure OSPF; you can configure RIP and IS-IS similarly:

host1(config)#ip vrf vrfa
host1(config-vrf)#rd 100:5
host1(config-vrf)#route-target both 100:5
host1(config-vrf)#exit
host1(config)#virtual-router :vrfa
host1:default:vrfa(config)#router ospf 100
host1:default:vrfa(config-router)#redistribute bgp

At this point you proceed with the IGP configuration for the VRF.
