vrf-target

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) target community. If you configure the community option only, default VRF import and export policies are generated that accept and tag routes with the specified target community. The purpose of the vrf-target statement is to simplify the configuration by allowing you to configure most statements at the [edit routing-instances] hierarchy level. In effect, this statement configures a single policy for import and a single policy for export to replace the per-VRF policies for every community.

You can still create more complex policies by explicitly configuring VRF import and export policies using the import and export options.

Options

community—Community name.

auto—Automatically derives the route target (RT). The auto-derived route targets have higher precedence over manually configured RT in vrf-target, vrf-export policies, and vrf-import policies.

Note:

Auto-derived route targets are supported only in virtual switch and EVPN routing instances.

import community-name—Allowed communities accepted from neighbors.

export community-name—Allowed communities sent to neighbors.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
