# ip vrf

#### Syntax

ip vrf vrfName

no ip vrf vrfName [ wait-for-completion [ waitSeconds ] ]

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Creates a VRF or accesses VRF Configuration mode to configure a VRF. The no version deletes the VRF.

| Note: After creating the VRF, you must configure a route distinguisher for it through the rd command. If the route distinguisher is not configured, the VRF cannot operate.

#### Options

- vrfName—Name of the VRF; a string of 1–32 alphanumeric characters
- wait-for-completion—Specifies (in the absence of waitSeconds) that the CLI waits for completion of the no version operation before it returns a prompt, regardless of how long that takes. Use the wait-for-completion keyword with the no version if you require a synchronous, deterministic deletion of a VRF, such as when executing Telnet or console commands by means of an external script. If you do not issue the wait-for-completion keyword in these circumstances, an ip vrf command issued as soon as the prompt appears might fail because the router is still deleting the VRF.
- waitSeconds—Number of seconds in the range 1–64000 that the CLI waits before it returns a prompt, regardless of whether the no version operation has completed

#### Mode

Global Configuration
